First post.
Has no one else played this? I cannot be the only one!
Wow.

I highly recommend hitting the YouTube videos to see what you are missing.

NTSC-UK's translation guide includes pics of the menus so it isn't THAT hard to get through all the Japanese.

The screencap/translations from NTSC-UK will help you get around in the game, but they won't cover all the japanese text for you. There are a lot of wordy areas that non-readers of kanji will be lost, like the BBS system (resembles Densetsu's) or the lists of garage and helper items. None of that stuff is necessary to complete the game, though it often makes it easier or cooler. The only place the text will hang you up is in completing ALL the rivals.

Linking from Genki's site some months back there was a list of japanese fan sites that I went through the trouble of filtering through Babelfish. So I did get a pretty workable list of the wanderers and their requirements. I say 'pretty workable' because I have three left that I don't seem to be able to get despite my list. My problem guys do not include the last wanderer, who is '???'. He will appear when all other rivals have been beat, just as he does in the Shutokou Battle series.

I am going to pick through the sites again, but a lot of time has passed and I think many of them are defunct. I'm hoping if enough people on THIS board get into the game, we can work together to make Racing Battle a do-able exercise. I've enjoyed it myself, and like I said I'm down to three last guys to find, out of hundreds.

I bought Racing Battle off ebay and got it in the mail last saturday.
It's an awesome game! I can't believe I've never bothered to try it out before...
So far, I've beaten 2 zone bosses (or whatever they're called here :P) and I'm getting addicted :P

Anyway, kog, do you know what the items you can buy at Super Autobacs are for (besides looking pretty in your garage)?
I've noticed you can select 3 "item packs" in the paddock screen, so what do they do? Cut your pit stop time in half or something?
