There are three awesome prize cars up for grabs, but here's the catch: they're assigned randomly after winning first place. You have a 1 in 3 chance for each car. So, if you're aiming for a specific one, you'll need to replay the races. * Mine's R33 Skyline GT-R * HKS R33 Drag GT-R * NISMO 400R '96 ## Tips and Tricks * For a really solid ride in this event, consider upgrading the RUF Turbo-R or the RUF CTR2 Sport. They handle like a dream once they're tuned up. * Turbocharged race cars, like the Nissan Unisia Jecs Skyline GT (JGTC) '99, are also a fantastic choice. They've got the power to keep up and then some. ## Trivia Fun fact: All three prize cars you can win here are based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33). Also, while the HKS Drag 180SX is a tough opponent in Event 2, the HKS R33 Drag GT-R, contrary to what some might think, doesn't actually race against you in this event, but you can win it as a prize!
