Ridge Racer

As soon as you receive the devils gift from somebody online, the Main Menu will change to a red colour and the music will change. You will notice a new mode has appear called 'Duel Race'. Select that and you'll see an option entitled "Crinale." You then have the option to race on three of the reverse tracks. Select any one you want. I highly recommend using Team Vision. This feature allows somebody's ghost to race the first two laps then you race the last. All you will want to do is find a really good time on the selection and use that. For the last lap, just stay ahead and block the car. It's very fast and will overtake you if you muck up in the slightest. I however didn't use Team Vision and did them all myself. Here's the settings that I used:
 

• Car: MELTFIRE (DLC car, free with gold pass)


• Group A: Ultimate Charge.


• Group B: Flex Nitrous.


• Group C: +150 nitrous on last lap.

That's what worked best for me. Reason I didn't use Team Vision was because people used cars and upgrades that I didn't like. Here's some general track tips:


Harbourline 765 - R: If you can get a rocket start and get ahead of him on the first corner, that is great. You will then want to pray for luck when he uses nitrous. Hopefully, he will smack into the back of your car and lose acceleration rending his nitrous useless. He will use nitrous again on the long straight just after, do the same as before. He only has 2 nitrous and he uses both on the first lap. Just stay ahead to win.

Highland Cliffs - R: This was a nightmare for me, highly recommend this on Team Vision. For the first part, just stay ahead of him and for the bit with the grass, just make sure you don't go in it. He will use boost at the end of this so get ready to block. If he passes you, then restart. You will want to boost here and get away from him so he can't slipstream as much. He will use boost again just before the sharp left corner, so remember to block. If you block both, you'll have a good chance of winning providing that you don't mess up too much.

Southbay Docks - R: This was the only one I did in Team Vision as I couldn't navigate the chicanes quickly enough. Just race as best you can on the last lap, as the ghost will drive you well on the first two laps. Just drift and take the last turns perfect or he will overtake you.
