    In freeroam, there are various racers wandering around that you can challenge at any time. These racers are considered 'roaming', which can be misleading. Their paths are fixed, which means they are always driving around the same circuit, which is the circuit you will race them in among challenging. These racers appear as green triangles on your map, but you must get near enough to them before they will be discovered.

    There are four clubs, with four racers in each club and a boss. Of the starting four racers, you must defeat each of them three times. Every time you beat a racer, they will 'return' with a stronger version of themselves. This primarily means they will have a stronger car, and their 'rank' will increase from Rookie to Pro, then from Pro to Veteran. Once they reach Veteran, they will stay that way. When you defeat each member of the club three times, it will unlock the 'Boss', who will then appear automatically on your map roaming their own circuit. You won't need to discover the boss themselves. You only need to beat the boss once.

    Two clubs are Race class based, while the other two are Offroad class based. These refer mostly to the style of track you'll be racing them on, whether it be dirt or pavement. Keep a list of which ones you've faced how many times, as the in game journal, through the start menu, doesn't list individual names. The following are all the clubs, their members, and their final Veteran car level you'll be facing them on.

    League 73 - Offroad Class
    Nassim - Lv 200
    Gearbox - Lv 209
    El Coco - Lv 230
    Bell - Lv 209
    Boss Udo Roth - Lv 260

    Hazard Company - Offroad Class
    Peach - Lv 220
    Leanne - Lv 270
    Forrest - Lv 209
    Cletus - Lv 300
    Boss Holtzman - Lv 320

    Silver6 Race - Race Class
    Wildcard - Lv 250
    Black Mamba - Lv 240
    Cassandra - Lv 270
    Slipstream - Lv 260
    Boss Gallo Rivera - Lv 330

    1% - Race Class
    Jesse - Lv 340
    Evangeline - Lv 330
    De'Aaron - Lv 370
    Lindsay - Lv 360
    Boss Natalia Nova - Lv 390

    Make sure you only race the 1% club while driving any version of a Nissan GT-R so you don't miss another achievement.

    When you approach a racer from behind, hit cn_RB to challenge them. The goal is to stay ahead of them as long as you can to get 100 points. The farther ahead you are, the faster your points raise. If you're having trouble with a race, remember that rubbing is racing, and try and spin your opponent out at the beginning of the race or shove them into a rock and speed away. Otherwise, just outrace them.

    You likely have found most of the racers through the course of the game. If you find you're missing any, refer to the album below. The images show the location of all roaming racers. If you're looking for one, go to the spot on the image where they're shown to be at, and park your car and wait. Eventually they'll drive by and be 'discovered'.

    An Amish WomanCletus from "Hazard Company" didn't show up on my map. I did a couple of laps around his area and I happened upon him. He then appeared on the map after our 1st race.

    X30 TrucaseI couldn’t find Peach until following the links and then he/she turned up roaming in the construction area of the city center. Peach is the last roaming racer to be beaten. Never would have thought to look for Peach there.

    Farrael22Make sure to racer whatever racer you find and keep scanning the map by pressing select very often. Eventually, you'll find all the racers. For me, I was able to racer the forth boss while doing the activity clean up + collectibles.

    PS: Whe you defeat a level 1 or 2 racer, he/she takes a while to respawn again

    I wanted to add for the 1% club while driving any version of the Nissan GT-R. Even if you've already raced everyone and beat them all completely, you can still race them again with the Nissan GT-R , and you'll only have to beat each one once boss included to get the "supercar for breakfast" achievement.. Which is btw listed as a "secret achievement "
