Pocket Circuit Racing is one of the more involved minigames in Yakuza 0. Each race requires players to customize their cars to compliment the track they are on. Even with the right parts, there is some RNG involved, so a few attempts may be needed.

There are some arguments that using different vehicles will affect certain stats, but that has yet to be proven. If any builds don’t work, however, changing vehicles is worth a shot. Managing speed boosts either right away or toward the end of the race will yield better results, depending on the race. If a build continues to fail, experimenting with when to use the boosts may help.
