How it plays

How does Ridge Racer Revolution play?

Races are presented from a behind-the-car viewpoint, with an optional first-person perspective in supported modes. The objective is to finish ahead of rival cars while learning when to brake, turn, and initiate a controlled slide.

Players choose events and cars, then drive through closed circuits with different corner sequences and difficulty levels. Standard races emphasize position and overtaking, while time trials focus on completing a course quickly. Accumulated success opens harder challenges and faster vehicle options. Two-player split-screen racing is available in supported modes.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Ridge Racer Revolution?

Brake before a corner rather than entering it at maximum speed. Release the accelerator briefly or use the brake to start a slide, then countersteer smoothly and return to full throttle as the car points toward the exit.

Learn each course's corner rhythm, especially tunnel approaches and consecutive bends. In time trials, prioritize a clean line and consistent exits over risky contact with walls. Test different cars because acceleration, top speed, and handling are not identical.

Before you begin

What should you know before playing?

  1. 1

    Use wide entries and late apexes for sharp corners.

  2. 2

    Avoid touching walls; the speed loss can outweigh a shorter line.

  3. 3

    Practice difficult sections in time trial before attempting harder races.
