History Characters / NeedForSpeedProStreet

* TheFaceless: He's always wearing his helmet, a la [[Series/TopGearUK The Stig]]. In ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'', the police [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this by stating that he refuses to take off his helmet.

The Grip King and the leader of Grip Runners who specializes in standard, GT racer-style driving. He drives a white BMW M3 E92 with yellow and blue decals.

* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: In drift events, he uses an all-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, which is otherwise only usable in other race types. Maybe he takes some techniques from UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship [[note]]4WD cars cannot really drift, but "powerslide" in a form of the "Scandinavian flick" used in rally racing, which later was utilized in drifting as the "Feint Drift" or "Kansei Drift". The chief problem, however, with drifting in 4WD cars is that due to its layout, it will move the power to stabilize the car, rather than maintaining the drift.[[/note]] or he applied a RWD conversion to his Evo. [[note]]To meet sporting regulations, some 4WD cars are required to convert its drivetrain to RWD. Some examples are Nobushige Kumakubo in [=D1GP=] who converted his Lancer Evolution or his Subaru Impreza to RWD in order to make the car capable of drifting, or the Nissan GT-R which, being an AWD car, had to be converted to RWD to be considered legal in [=GT3=] or Super GT. Even a decade later, the Gr.3 version of the Lancer Evolution X in ''[[VideoGame/GranTurismo Gran Turismo Sport]]'', had its drivetrain converted to RWD.[[/note]] Same applies when he uses said car for wheelie competitions; although FWD and 4WD cars can enter Wheelie Competitions, they can't pull wheelies and thus score zero compared to RWD cars. His Drift, Drag and Speed tuned Evo [=10s=] are unobtainable; the one players obtain upon defeating him is tuned for Grip

* AdaptedOut: Downplayed. The 6th-gen consoles ([=PS2=] and Wii) has the duo ommitted during gameplay, other than during FMV cutscenes, possible due to technical limitations.

* JokeCharacter: Ray Krieger's M3 E92 has the lowest stats among the Street Kings' cars, with only Level 2 Power and Handling, and very underwhelming performance on the track.

* AdaptationalLocationChange: The battle against Karol Monroe in the DS version takes place on the Chicago Airfield instead of Infineon.

* AdaptationalLocationChange: The battle against Aki Kimura in the DS version of ''[=ProStreet=]'' takes place in the Ebisu instead of Autopolis.

* JapaneseDelinquents: Dovnplayed. While he engages in legal racing, Ryo also does illegal races on the side, and is constantly mocking Ryan. He's also a Japanese-American, or at least of Japanese descent.

* IAmVeryBritish: The announcer of G-Effect and React Team Sessions, Roger Evans, on a bunch of occasions would sound like [[Series/TopGearUK Richard]] [[Series/TheGrandTour Hammond]] as he speaks in an English accent.

->''"Hey! Oh yeah! I knew it's gonna happen, the Speed King himself is challenging Ryan Cooper. They're gonna settle who's fastest once and for all, folks. This is gonna be good! "''

The Drag King (actually Drag Queen) and the leader of After Mix crew who specializes in drag racing. She drives a fifth-gen Ford Mustang GT, built for drag racing.

The Drift King and the leader of Touge Union who specializes in drifting. He returns in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback'' as the leader of Noise Bomb. His car is a Mazda RX-7 (FD) in ''[=ProStreet=]'', and a Nissan S15 Silvia in ''Payback'', both of which are tuned for drifting.

* IAmVeryBritish: Roger Evans, the announcer of G-Effect and React Team Sessions, speaks in an English accent.

* ArtificialStupidity: His A.I is quite underwhelming compared to the other racers in Nitrocide, including his own Boxcut crew members (one of whom runs a Zonda F supercar with 1000+ horsepower). It's not uncommon for Nate Denver to struggle to reach 300km/h in the Top Speed Runs against him, while his teammates commonly break 330-340km/h.

** Apparently, in ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'', there is a fictional German car brand named "Krieger", which was somewhat derived from the Grip King himself.
** Although Ray doesn't appear as a random opponent in ''Shift 2: Unleashed'', his Grip Runners crew sticker can be used by the player for vehicle customizations. Perhaps Ray Krieger and his Grip Runners crew have taken part in FIA-sanctioned GT series?
