Top Pocket Circuit Fighter Race Builds for Completing Each Race in Yakuza 0

Select Language:

Pocket Circuit Racing is a popular mini-game in the Yakuza series that first appeared in Yakuza 0. It provides a fun break from the main story, where players can customize mini cars and race on different tracks. Each track requires a unique car setup to help you finish first.

Finishing all Pocket Circuit races awards you the “Dragon of Pocket Circuit” achievement or trophy. If you want the best car builds for each main race and all side races, our guide below shows which parts to use for each race and where to find them.

Where To Get Stabilizers
You can skip side stabilizers in builds as races are winnable without them, but if needed, obtain them as follows:

Side Stabilizer: From Parts Shop for ¥10 million after beating the Champions’ Cup
Side Stabilizer 2.0: From the Dream Machine
Side Stabilizer 3.0: From Mysterious Merchant for ¥10 million (post-Substory #8)

Note on Parts and Upgrades:
Many advanced parts become available only after completing certain side stories and races, especially from Substory #8 onward. Most parts are purchased from the Parts Shop, Don Quijote, or awarded during specific side missions. The Bumper Plate is often automatically given when buying the Killer Bee car from Ebisu Pawn for ¥50 million.

In constructing the best car for each race, focus on balancing speed, handling, and durability, adjusting parts according to race requirements and your available funds.
