== Plot ==
The player assumes the role of Vincent Riker, who is trying to avoid being stopped by the police. Around 100 km of Los Angeles has been modelled for the game, including roads and parks.
The plot takes place in 2003 and is about Vince, an underground driver who is looking for a car, a GTSR model. His only clues are the name RedSet and the premises of a mechanic, a reference point for car enthusiasts in the area. Vince enters and explains to him that he is looking for a car and the mechanic lets him choose his car from three models: the Hatchback si, the Pick up 150 or the 322 ci. Then he meets Rick, an underground racer with his two henchmen: Mac and Dante. After a few races, he meets Carmen, the mechanic's daughter, and Lewis, his brother. The mechanic offers him an exchange for the GT coupe, as his is still new. After a while Rick introduces him to Mike, Lucy and then Donny, his mechanic, who offers him an exchange for the Horse V8, the second fastest car in the game. Later the thief turns out to be Rick, who was trying to sell it to a policeman called McCullen with a plan not to get caught. In one part Vince confronts Dante, then Rick. After Carmen, who used to hate Vince, now has fallen in love with him, shoots Rick and turns out it was him who wanted to sell the GTSR, just from a briefcase full of money that Vince finds in the boot of Rick's car.
