Rival Race locked?

[pointofdeparture]

I’m in race 7 (Adriatic Sea) in the 1980’s, and a Rival Race event is listed but locked with no info about why I can’t play it. Is there some specific requirement to compete in this event?

I had the same issue. Thought it was because I settled my issues with the only driver mad at me. Turns out he was still my nemesis. Oddly enough a few races later I got to do a race against someone that admired me and happen to be their favorite track.?

The Rival Races usually needs either a Nemesis or Admirer, but there should be something in place to trigger the event once the season is completed so you can still get the cups. If that is not happening, we need to investigate.

Just finished the 1990's season and yeah, the two rival races I'm missing didn't trigger. I even have a nemesis and an admirer.

In the final race of the 1980s my rival race was locked. I finished the season and moved on to the 1990s, but after testing at Brisbane I was offered the chance to go back to the 1980s to complete the rivalry. It might have been that I pipped the rival to the title on the last race, so yes, some sort of triggering event may need to happen.

It'd be handy if the locked items said why they were locked or how to unlock them.

For me same thing, I finished the 80s once, missing the last Rival Race, then I thought to do again all 80s races, and reply to questions in a way that all opponents would become nemesis, still nothing happened

Same for me. The last rival race at cote d'azure in the 80s. I even have a nemesis and couple of admirers.

Just keep playing through the campaign. It eventually unlocks, it asks you to time travel back to wherever the rival race is. at least that what it did for me. I have no clue what triggers it though.

I got a call after the first race in the 90s, telling me to come back and do the last rival race in the 80s.

They will unlock eventually as you progress through the career. If you're looking to 100% the game and get every achievement, they will all unlock once you finish the last cup. Basically, if you're looking to perfect New Star GP, don't worry about these popping up because they'll all be available without any extra grinding.
