ルーレット族(Pronounced as ru-retto zoku)

ルーレット族 will race on motorway which a high specification car is being demanded. Usually a high-powered car will be used in racing on a motorway since the road width of motorways are usually comparably wider and corners are usually long fast to let you turn in a higher speed.
