Cyberpunk 2077 has made a phenomenal comeback with update 2.1 and DLC, Phantom Liberty. It is safe to say the game has reached its true potential, garnering praise from players who had nothing good to say after its initial release date three years ago. CD Projekt Red succesfully managed to turn all of that around and make Cyberpunk 2077 the game it was supposed to be. Now, players can live out their fantasies in Night City, including partaking in illegal street races.

While plenty of street races are taking place in Night City, players do not know how to partake in them. Keeping this in mind, this guide will illustrate how players can unlock racing in Cyberpunk 2077, along with other useful information about this particular topic.

Unlocking Racing in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 - Racing In The Beast In Me Questline Final Race

Players can unlock racing in Cyberpunk 2077 by following these simple steps:

  1. Unlock The Beast in Me gig from Claire.
  2. Speak to Claire to learn about the races that must be completed to unlock the final race.
  3. The three qualifying races will take place in the Badlands, Santa Domingo, and City Centre. The final race will require the player to avenge the death of Claire’s husband.
  4. Midway through the final race, the player will have to make a choice: follow Sampson or complete the race.

Should Players Follow Sampson or Complete the Race?

  • If the player follows Sampson, they will discover his wrecked vehicle. Sampson will be crawling out of his vehicle, giving the player and Claire the advantage. The player can let Claire have her way or not, but choosing the latter will cause Claire to become cold as steel towards the player throughout the game.
  • If the player chooses to finish the race, Claire will eventually kill Sampson.

If the player chooses to finish the race and let Claire kill Sampson, they will automatically unlock the Quadra type-66 Cthulhu and the Beast vehicles.
