If you’ve spent hours grinding through Racing Master’s story missions only to hit a wall on the later high-difficulty runs, you’re not alone. I spent three weekends stuck on the final stretch of the racing guy master quest before I figured out the small tweaks that turned repeated losses into easy first-place finishes. Most players miss that this quest isn’t just about raw speed—it’s about matching your setup to each track, anticipating opponent moves, and prioritizing the right objectives over finishing first every single time. I’ve put together everything I learned from 40+ completed runs of the quest to help you skip the frustration and grab those exclusive limited-time car skins and in-game cash rewards.
How to Prep Your Vehicle for the Racing Guy Master Quest
The first mistake most players make is bringing their fastest top-speed tune to every segment of the quest. The quest has 7 total missions spread across 3 different track types, so a one-size-fits-all tune will leave you struggling on tight corners or wet tarmac. You don’t even need an S-class car to beat the entire quest, I used a fully tuned A-class Honda Civic Type R and finished all runs faster than my friend who used a stock Lamborghini Huracán.
Adjust your suspension first for the first three quest legs, which are all set on narrow city streets with 12+ sharp turns per run. Stiffer suspension reduces body roll when you’re cutting through alley shortcuts, and you’ll gain 2-3 seconds per lap just by not sliding wide on turns. Skip the highest tier turbo upgrades for the first half of the quest, they cause too much wheel spin on the wet tarmac that pops up randomly in the second mission. If you’re not confident making your own tune, you can download the free pre-made “city quest” tune from the community tuning library, it’s optimized specifically for this quest’s first four missions.
Mission-by-Mission Objective Prioritization Cheat Sheet
Nearly 60% of quest failures happen because players focus only on finishing first, and miss hidden secondary objectives that are required to pass. You can finish a mission 10 seconds ahead of every other driver and still fail the entire quest if you don’t hit these required targets. I missed the drift requirement on mission 2 four times in a row before I realized I was cutting turns too tight instead of drifting through wide corners to rack up meters.
- Mission 2: Drift 1,200 total meters across the run, even if you finish first, you will be disqualified if you hit less than 1,150 meters of drift
- Mission 4: Avoid hitting more than 3 civilian vehicles, each hit adds 10 seconds to your final time, more than 3 hits automatically fails the quest
- Mission 6: Use nitro at least 5 times while airborne, you can hold small nitro charges to use as you go off the 4 pre-placed ramps on the track to hit this easily
You can see all hidden objectives for each mission by tapping the small "i" icon on the quest pre-launch screen, most players don’t notice that icon exists. If you’re struggling to hit an objective, you can drop your speed by 10-15 mph for that segment, it’s way better to finish 30 seconds later with all objectives complete than to finish fast and fail. I once finished mission 2 in first place by 12 seconds, but I only had 980 meters of drift, so I got a quest failed screen immediately.
Beating AI Opponent Cheats That Don’t Get You Banned
The AI in the last three segments of the quest are programmed to take aggressive lines and ram you off the track if you’re in first place for more than 20 consecutive seconds. I tried fighting them off for weeks before I figured out a simple trick that works 90% of the time. Let them pass you on the first 70% of the track, stay within 2 seconds of their rear bumper, and then use your full nitro reserve in the last 30 seconds of the run. The AI doesn’t have a nitro boost reserved for the final stretch, so you’ll blow past them right before the finish line without them having time to ram you.
Don’t try to cut them off on sharp turns, they’re programmed to intentionally crash into you if you block their line, and you’ll lose more time spinning out than you would if you just let them stay ahead for a little while. I tested this trick on 20 consecutive runs, and I only lost once when I used my nitro too early and the AI had a small reserve boost left to beat me at the line. It’s also worth sacrificing 5 mph of top speed for 15 extra points of collision resistance, so you lose less speed if they do happen to bump you from behind.
Exclusive Rewards You Unlock for Completing the Quest
A lot of players skip this quest because they think the rewards are just generic in-game cash, but that’s not the case at all. The first time you complete the full quest on hard difficulty, you unlock the exclusive Racing Guy themed livery for all A class sports cars, which can’t be bought in the in-game store or earned any other way. The livery is also tradeable if you don’t want to use it, you can sell it to other players in the community market for up to 200,000 in-game cash, which is enough to buy a mid-tier S class car outright.
You also get 50,000 in-game cash, 3 free premium tuning kits, and a free entry ticket to the next limited-time multiplayer tournament that gives out S class car parts as prizes. If you complete the quest 3 times on different difficulty levels, you unlock a special character outfit for your in-game driver, which also gives you a 5% boost to all nitro efficiency for all future runs. I’ve used the nitro efficiency boost for the past two months, and it’s saved me hundreds of dollars in nitro refills for multiplayer races. The only catch is that the quest resets every 4 weeks, so you have to complete it before the reset to grab the current cycle’s exclusive rewards.
At the end of the day, the racing guy master quest is one of the most rewarding PvE challenges in Racing Master if you know the small tricks to get past the tricky parts. You don’t need to spend real money on premium cars or tuning parts to beat it, you just need to adjust your setup for each track, prioritize the right objectives, and play smart instead of just driving as fast as possible. I’ve helped 12 of my in-game friends beat the quest using these exact tips, and all of them did it in less than 2 hours total after spending weeks stuck before. If you try these tips and still get stuck on a specific mission, take a 10 minute break and come back later, most losses happen when you’re frustrated and making silly mistakes you wouldn’t normally make.
