The race starts as soon as the player enters the lighted, blue ring on screen. After entering the race the player is given the option to choose between a few different Vehicles. Once the player chooses a car, they can change the color and select a victory gesture. After confirming these settings the race begins. The race is really no different than the standard races you encounter in the single player portion of the game, and success will largely be determined by how well the player can brake, corner, and avoid wrecks with traffic and obstacles.
