When a player does good in an event they achieve light, which unlock different groups with new rivals. In order to unlock the one-on-one, players need to meet the rivals demands (Earn 7,000 Fans", "complete four events in four different cars", etc.). These demands must be completed with-in the rivals group. When a player defeats a rival, either by betting them in the race or destroying their car, they unlock the rivals car and mod.
