This guide provides a walkthrough on how the player should progress through the Club Races of Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition.
All races in the Club Races are completely random. Each Club race provides unlocks for the vehicle Type. You can save some club races for until after becoming the U.S. Champion, which will give higher payouts compared to when doing these races mid-game.
Unbeatable Street Racers[]
After defeating Vanessa, the player is invited to race the Unbeatable Street Racers, a club for Tuner cars. The City Tournament (San Diego) is also organized to have the player win a Lexus IS300, one of the fastest Class D cars that can hold it through Atlanta and can be useful for the Ginza Tournament in order get started in the club races.
It is highly recommended to do these club races right away, as the final reward for winning them is the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34), a C-Class Tuner with the performance of a B-Class car that can help the player throughout the early part of Detroit, until they are able to get the Exotic cars. Use a Class C tuner to get the job done, provided the Atlanta races should be done only after unlocking level 2 performance upgrades for Class C cars.
American Royalty Car Club[]
A club that specializes in Muscle Cars, the player should attempt it post-U.S. Champ to be able to earn more cash. The prize of the series is the Chevrolet Corvette (C3). The club also has the Stage Tournament to be able get the player started on the club races.
Any Class B muscle car is highly recommended for the Club Races. However, the player will probably struggle at first until after completing Race #3, which will unlock the Roar ability.
Luxury Rollers Car Club[]
The Luxury Rollers Car Club can challenge the player only after defeating Bishop. Afterwards, the player is invited to the Balboa Park Tournament, a tournament that awards a Chrysler 300C "DUB Edition" to give the player a head-start to the club races.
It is recommended for the player to save the club races for until after they win the San Diego DUB Tournament to win the Mercedes-Benz SL 55, which will make it a very easy club series.
After the third race, the player is awarded the Agro ability for the Luxury Sedans (or Zone for the Lexus SC430 and both Mercedes-Benz SL cars.)
The Mercedes-Benz CL 55 is the final prize for the series.
Chopper of America Bike Club[]
One of the two bike clubs. Following Phil's defeat, he gives up his prized Chopper, the Hotmatch Cuevito to get the player started on the club races.
It is highly recommended to leave these races until after the U.S. Championship Series to earn more cash, and the player to sell the prized Hotmatch and buy one of the Class B Choppers. Completing all races in the club will reward the player the Hotmatch Skully.
Big Playas[]
Despite the Hummer H1 being the first SUV/Truck the player unlocks. It comes at a massively expensive price of $117,508, nearly a higher price than most Class B cars.
Upon completing San Diego. a DUB Tournament is held in Atlanta that awards a DUBbed out Cadillac Escalade EXT to get the player started in the club races. This tournament is open right away upon unlocking Atlanta due to the fact, that the Big Playas is the only club that can be unlocked from two different racers, the player can still unlock the Club Races after defeating Lamont, but before defeating Dre.
The club races should be saved until after the U.S. Championship Series, in order to increase the payouts from each race to be more than $10,000 each, and the player will have an easier time in these club races if they have the REMIX edition of the game, which adds the Gemballa GT 750, and has $360,000 to afford the said SUV. Otherwise, use one of the Class B pickup trucks.
A Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG is the reward for the SUV Races. However, with the REMIX version of the game, the G55 is outclassed by the Gemballa.
Original Riders[]
After defeating Vito, who was sent by the Original Riders to test the player before being able to enter the club, the club finally allows the player to race against them.
But however, the club can still challenge the player before Class B vehicles are unlocked, so the Hotlanta Tournament was set up to test the player through Autocross Races to win the Ducati SS1000 to get the player started through the club.
It is strongly recommended to avoid these vehicles until after the U.S. Championship Series due to the fact that their nitrous is only at par with the Class D vehicles and their performance is just at par with the exotic cars, as well as taking longer to recover from crashes.
The Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory is a recommended bike for the club races, due to it's perfect 100 handling. The club awards the player the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, which can help the player through the Tokyo Challenge, if they plan to get the Pagani Zonda C-12 S early.
By Invitation Only[]
The last club in the game, specializing in Exotic cars. Following the first defeat of the ultra-rich mogul Ceasar, the player is invited to the By Invitation Only car club. An autocross tournament has also been set up to test the player's hot lap skills, in which the Cadillac Cien is the reward for the winner.
It is recommended to either use the McLaren F1 LM (which can be bought for $250,000) or the Pagani Zonda C-12 S (which can be won from the Tokyo Challenge). A Chrysler ME Four-Twelve, the only 7-speed car in the game, is awarded to the winner of the club.
This is one of the two clubs that are recommended to do before becoming the U.S. Champion, since the reward cars can be useful during the main storyline of the game.
