Rivals Mode allows you to compete against the ghost cars of other players' best times on any race event. This is an excellent way to hone your skills, learn new racing lines, and earn extra credits. When you select an event in Rivals Mode, you'll be presented with a leaderboard and can choose to challenge a rival ghost that is slightly faster than your current best time. The goal is to beat their time. There's no traffic or other AI racers, just you and the ghost. This pure time trial format is perfect for practicing specific tracks and optimizing your car's tuning. Beating rivals earns you credits and a sense of accomplishment. It's also a great way to discover new tuning setups, as you can often see what car and tune your rival used. Regularly engaging with Rivals Mode will significantly improve your overall driving performance.
