Ridge Racer is all about mastering the handling model. Anything beyond that is mostly having an idea of the circuit.

I just to quite enjoy sticking a quid in the Ridge Racer cabinet in motorway service stations in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, hooning through to win regardless of whether it was a wheel or a stick, and walking away after crossing the line, not even bothering to stay for the name entry.

It was nice being that guy that I was wowed by as a kid in the arcades. Little victories.
