Get ahead of foreign tourist before parking (8)
I believe the answer is:
outstrip
'get ahead of' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'foreign tourist before parking' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates an anagram (foreign order of the letters).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'tourist' anagrammed gives 'outstri'.
'outstri'+'p'='OUTSTRIP'
(Other definitions for outstrip that I've seen before include "Perform better than" , "Beat" , "Go far ahead of" , "Go faster or do better than" , "Surpass, overtake" .)
