Outrun is a player versus player game mode between two cars that can be triggered whilst driving in free roam during career mode. Outrun is also featured as a game mode for split-screen multiplayer. An Outrun event can be triggered by challenging a free roaming opponent to a duel. Opponents are shown as orange arrows on the mini-map. An opponent can be challenged by driving either beside or behind them, matching their current speed and pressing up on the d-pad upon being prompted.
