Farewell! ===================================== I. Introduction ===================================== Namco has really developed a good racing game in Ridge Racer Type 4. Unfortunately for Namco, there is another racing game about to be released, Gran Turismo 2. R4 has an awesome selection of playable vehicles. R4 has the best graphics of any Ridge Racer to date. There are four teams. Micro Mouse Mappy (M.M.M.)- Easy- France Dig Racing Team (D.R.T.)- Expert- USA Pac Racing Team (P.R.C)- Normal- Japan Racing Team Solvalou (R.T.S)- Hard- Italy There are also four car manufacturers. Assoluto- Drift- Italy Lizard- Drift- USA Terrazi- Grip- Japan Age Solo- Grip- France When choosing a car manufacturer, keep in mind that drift cars are more difficult to control. ======================================= II. The Complete List of Vehicles (321) ======================================= Like I said earlier, R4 has an awesome selection of vehicles. ASSOLUTO Name Stage Handling Overall Rating M.M.M. D.R.T.

The top speed is 242. ======================================== III. Decals ======================================== I recommend that you make your own custom decals for your car. It sets your car out from the others. There are also some previously made decals you can select from: 00 Custom 01 Armadillo Racing 02 Bosconian 03 Baraduke 04 Dragon Saber 05 Black Knight 06 Galaga 07 Galaxian3 08 ????????? 09 GunBarl/ GunBullet 10 Klonoa from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile 11 Metro Cross 12 A monster from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile 13 Ordyne 14 Sky Kid 15 Starblade 16 Techno Drive 17 Yoshimitsu 18 Thunder Ceptor 19 Sophita from Soul Edge/ Soul Blade 20 World Stadium 2 21 Reiko Nagase (Blue)- D.R.T. 22 Reiko Nagase (Orange)- M.M.M. 23 Reiko Nagase (Green)- P.R.C. 24 Reiko Nagase (Red)- R.T.S. For Reiko Nagase's stickers, you'll have to complete the specified team without repeating trial, while getting first for every race. ======================================== IV. The Tracks ======================================== HELTER SKELTER (Course 1) 3 laps 3.262 miles Easy WONDERHILL (Course 2) 3 laps 4.178 miles Moderate EDGE OF THE EARTH (Course 3) 3 laps 3.540 miles Moderate OUT OF BLUE (Course 4) 3 laps 3.477 miles Moderate PHANTOMILE (Course 5) 3 laps 1.882 miles Moderate BRIGHTEST NITE (Course 6) 3 laps 3.667 miles Hard HEAVEN & HELL (Course 7) 3 laps 4.305 miles Hard SHOOTING HOOPS (Course 8) 6 laps 2.475 miles Moderate ====================================== V. Driving Tips ====================================== There aren't many tips that I can give you. Really the only tips deal with cornering. The Grip cars have excellent traction and a stiff suspension. 1. Turn 2. While full throttle, tap the brakes 3. Feather the brakes until you're through the turn. The Drift cars are more difficult to control. Some corners don't require sliding, but you should feather the brakes. 1. Turn 2. Release the gas 3. After losing traction, hit the throttle. 4. Turn the steering wheel, so you stay on the track. ===================================== VI.
