More than 100 domestically made cars (their variants included) are present in RBC1GP. These cars can be purchased through new or used car dealerships, the latter of which including only 5 cars at a time. Used cars typically have both visual and performance upgrades included from the dealership, and can be cheaper than thier respective models in the brand-new dealerships.

Tracks[]
Unlike Genki's other games, which for the most part contained only streets and highways, RBC1GP contains numerous real-world racing circuits alongside the array of highways as well. Some of the tracks featured include:
- Shutoko Outside
- Shutoko Inside
- Osaka-Kanjo Circuit
- Oval Circuit
- Tsukuba Circuit
- TI Circuit (now known as Okayama International Circuit)
- Suzuka Circuit
- Suzuka East
- Suzuka West
- Nikko Circuit
Generally, 3 tracks are unlocked for every license: i.e. Shutoko Outside, Suzuka East and Tsukuba Circuit for C Class License. Despite this, some C Class tracks may be used in B or A Class events (and vice versa) during "Quest Mode", after unlocking the higher class license.
Rivals[]
Racing Battle: C1 Grand Prix features around 115 rivals, many of which appeared in other TXR games.
