Realistic Graphics and Challenging Gameplay in R: Racing
R Racing is the first realistic racing game I had on the GameCube, and it's a particularly fun game. The main character is a woman who is discovered as a talented race driver by driving in an ambulance.
It just feels great to stand on such a stunningly beautiful track with one of the gorgeous cars, realistic graphics, everything looks so real, and it's not easy to finish. So don't think you've completed the game after the story mode, because then you've only unlocked half of the cars.
There is also an Event Challenge mode where you have to complete about 200 races to finish the game. Those races are not easy to win; you also need to upgrade your cars, or you'll hardly win anything!! It will keep you busy for a couple of months, the menus look good, and you quickly immerse yourself in the game when you play it.
One of my beloved and frequently played racing games!!!

(You must have purchased the Cerbera Speed Twelve car from GT class 1 in the Car Shop)
Go to the Event Challenge mode of R Racing, click on race and choose VS Rival.
Then select race #7.
If you need to choose a car, go to GT class 1 and select the Cerbera Speed Twelve.
You will easily win the race because you are much faster, and you will finish the track in 15 seconds as it is a drag race.
After completing this race, you will receive 100,000 R Points.
That really pays off well; if you run this race a few times, you can buy and upgrade a lot of cars!
