Contact This is a complete FAQ for Rage Racer and it’s very detailed, then make good use Part 0: Version History Version 1.00: First version of the FAQ Part 1: The game The game is the fifth installament of the Ridge Racer franchise and the second direct to console. Technical Data: Game: Rage Racer Developer: Namco Publisher: Namco (Japan and North America) Sony Computer Entertainment Europe [SCEE] (Europe) Relase date: December 3 1996, in Japan April 30 1997, in North America June 1997, in Europe Genre: Racing Modes: Single player Platform: PlayaStation ESRB Rating: K-A (Kids to Adults) Franchise: Ridge Racer Preceded by: Ridge Racer Revolution [RRR] Soundtrack composers: Tetsukazu Nakanishi and Hiroshi Okubo Media: CD-ROM Game ID: SLUS_00403 (North America) Trivia: Introduced Reiko Nagase Introduced CGI Introduced Money Feature Introduced Tune Feature introduced Car Color personalizzation Part 2: The tracks In Rage Racer there are four tracks and here there is their description All the tracks share the same start/finish straight along with a steep climb past a massive waterfall. The straight has a glass canopy housing the line, which is illuminated at night, along with a large stone archway, similar to the Arc de Triomphe Mystical Coast: 4641m/2,88miles After passing the waterfall, a straight tunnel leads to a steep drop down to the coast. The road runs along the coast, past Mediterranean style houses and a chapel. Climbing back inland past ancient ruins, a hairpin leads back to the main straight through and curving tunnel Over Pass City: 6640m/4,12miles The longest track is also the most spectacular. The first tunnel of the Mythical Coast track is partially blocked off and the road is taken away to the right, down a winding route before opening up at the base of the largest climb in the game. Past a working tram and various buildings the road finally reaches the summit and falls slowly through more tunnels, and winding corners. After passing over a hillside bridge, a steep drop leads under a bridge, past a lighthouse, then winds round to past over itself before rejoining the start/section Lakeside Gate: 6237m/3,88miles Although shorter than Over Pass City, this has some beautiful scenery to admire. Now leading left from that initial tunnel, the route is laden with hills, tunnels and tight corners, along with a cable car passing overhead. The main attraction though is when the road opens up by a lake, which reflects the surrounding objects. After passing around the lakeside, you cross a bridge, and drive through a woodland scene, before a tight hairpin leads back to the main straight The Extreme Oval: 3074m/1,91miles This simply consists of a loop which connects the two ends of the main straight. There is one long tunnel and banked corners. Part 3: The cars Here there are the complete explanation of the customize menu, car and engineer menus and obviusly the cars :) Customize menu: here you can set the tire grip (from Grip to Drift), the transmission (Automatic Transmission [AT] or Manual Transmission [MT]) and the design of the car, from the team logo and name to paint color Customize menu, tire: here you can modify the grip of a car. From Grip to Drift. If you set to “Grip”, it will be harder to drift and setting to “Drift” the effect is the opposite. The settings are five: 100% = 100% Grip/0% Drift 75% = 75% Grip/25% Drift 50% = 50% Grip/50% Drift 25% = 25% Grip/75% Drift 0% = 0% Grip/100% Drift Customize menu, transmission: here you can change from [AT] and [MT]. The Automatic Transmission is recommended for beginners, but many cars have only the Manual Transmission. The Manual Transmission is recommended for the experts. With the [MT], you can use a glitch called “Speed Glitch” Customize menu, design: here you can change the team logo and name and change the color of your car Team Logo: you can load a sample or paint one.

    torque better and you can change the gear faster and with the Manual
    Transmission [MT] you can use a glitch called “Speed Glitch”

5A) What is the “Speed Glitch”?
5B) The “Speed Glitch” is just a glitch. For perform this glitch you must use
    the Manual Transmission [MT] (why if you use the Automatic Transmission
    [AT], you can’t perform this glitch). At the race beginning, rev your car to
    max holding also the brake (Square in preset configuration) and when you go,
    go to last or penultimate gear and relase the brake. If done correctly, you
    will reach the top speed in less of one second, driving extremely fast. You
    can use the glitch only when the race starts

6A) What is the cheapest and too expensive cars?
6B) The cheapest is the Erriso (Alouette), with 2600eg and the too expensive is
    the Squaldon (Dragone) with 6666666eg

11A) The grip value affects the start?
11B) No, but affect the your drift performance

12A) Why the tach and gear display are different between [AT] and [MT]
12B) Maybe for rember the player if use the Manual or Automatic Transmission
