Reversed track
Start the game without loading or saving and select
Grand Prix mode. Keep advancing through the menus until you reach
the first course. Select and play that course. When the race begins,
immediately turn around and drive into the concrete wall. Your
car will keep bouncing off the wall, but keep driving that way
that until you go through it. If done correctly everything in
the course will be now be reversed, including the signs, track,
and name on your car.
Golf Caddy car
Unlock the reversed track and finish it in first place.
You can also obtain the golf caddy car using a loaded or saved
game by completing the first race of the second stage in reverse.
The golf caddy car will then become one of you saved game cars.

set record. Break the record to unlock Pooka.

Select two player mode and the team mode. Choose three teams and
pick stage 7 or 8. Win first and second place to unlock 00-Agent.
Red Shirt Rage
You need to hit the chopper that flies above the Ridge
Racer Track. To do this, you need to start a race on the novice
Ridge Racer track in Z class. Use either the Ultra 64, Screamin'
Eagle, or Crazy Canuck car. Drive to the hairpin bend near the
beach. Drive slowly around the corner and stop. At the far end
of the straight you will see the chopper. Wait about five seconds
to give it time to fly into the correct position. Then, hit the
gas and get as much speed as possible up the straight. Turn the
corner and try to hit the chopper as you fly over the jump. Complete
the race; it does not matter if you win. If you managed to hit
the chopper, you will be awarded the Red Shirt Rage car.
Z-class
Complete every stage in first place to receive all
eight gold trophies and unlock Z-class. The Z-class is the fastest
class in the game. Also, you can now choose any class type except
the classes below the intended class type.

Hints
Reverse 360 Powerslide
Set the drift mode option to "RR64". Begin
game play and get to a sharp turn. Stop accelerating, turn the
opposite direction from the turn, and accelerate again while still
turning. If done correctly your car will spin around during the
powerslide. After you are turned around, control the car as if
in a normal powerslide and re-align it with the track. This trick
allows your car to get through winding turns without braking or
losing speed.
Controlled drifting
Approach the corner without letting go of the gas.
Turn sharply, and immediately after doing so, release the gas.
Tap the brake and accelerate hard. If done correctly, you have
almost no drop in speed and it produces a far more predictable
outcome than a typical power slide. With a little practice, it
is easy to skid around the sharpest corners and straighten the
car out so that the wheels gain grip as soon as you exit the corner.
If you are using the classic drift mode, you can use the power
slide to make the car go faster than its normal top speed. This
is done by skidding round a corner as explained above and keeping
the nose of the car pointing forward. This can be tricky, as your
basically keeping the car from gaining grip while driving it extremely
close to its griping point. However, it is possible to get an
extra 20 mph or more. A good place to practice this is the last
corner of the Ridge Racer track.
