The game features 89 cars from licensed manufacturers, such as Mazda, Toyota, Nissan and Ford, as well as an extensive modification system. The player must complete 10 Leagues, beginning with Rookie and progressing through League 7 - 1, World Class and HIN Elite. ‘Goals’ must be completed through each League, the amount varying dependent on each League. These goals unlock a promotional event, which will promote the player to the next League if won.
