Quick Links
Pocket Circuit Racing is one of the fan-favorite minigames within the Yakuza series that debuted in Yakuza 0. It offers a fun little break from the main storyline, where players can build custom mini-kit cars to race around various tracks. Each race features a different track, so you'll need a different setup for each one to be the first to cross the finish line.
Completing all of the Pocket Circuit races will earn you the "The Dragon of Pocket Circuit" achievement/trophy. If you're looking for the best Pocket Circuit builds for each main race as well as all of the substory races, we have a complete guide just below on which parts to use for each race, as well as where to find all of the parts. Use boost sparingly when racing, as otherwise, it will make you run off the track.
Updated August 16, 2021: We've updated and reformatted this guide for better readability, ensuring all of the information that you need is clear and concise. Each table below has the recommended parts and information on where to get each part. We have not included stabilizers in each build, though if you feel you need one, there is information on where to obtain them near the end of the guide.
