R4 100% FAQ

R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 100%

Q: What's 100%?
A: All 321 cars. Includes all cars from Grand Prix mode and Extra Trial mode.

Q: What's Extra Trial mode?
A: Unlocked after Grand Prix mode is completed once. It's a Time Trial against a super powered vehicle. There are 4 different cars (Vulcano, Nightmare, Utopia, Ecureuil) These cars are extremely powerful. Each has a different stat maxed out.

Q: How are cars unlocked?
A: There are 3 heats in Grand Prix mode. From the 1st heat to advance to the 2nd heat, you must qualify in at least 3rd or better. To advance to the 3rd heat from the 2nd, you must qualify in at least 2nd or better. Different positions unlock different cars. Here's the chart to help visualize.
	1,2,6,13 - 3-3-2-2-1-1-1-1
	1,2,7,14 - 3-3-1-2-1-1-1-1
	1,2,8,15 - 3-3-2-1-1-1-1-1
	1,2,9,16 - 3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1
	1,3,10,17- 2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1
	1,4,11,18- 2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
	1,5,12,19- 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
The first column is the car number unlocked with the finishing positions on the right column.
The number 20 car is the one from the Extra Trial. So, Grand Prix is done 7 times each with each of the 16 combinations of car model and team. That is 112 runs through Grand Prix. But, the game can be saved from after I finish Heat 1 in 3rd and 3rd, so I can continue from there to unlock the other cars that need those positions.
The 321st car is Pac-Man and that's unlocked after all 320 have been unlocked and he gets his own song. "Eat 'em Up"
