What she does in this career

The character page and the game article both place Rachel Teller as the player's friend and as Samantha's friend from the previous city. She runs the tutorial, points out secret shops, and steers the player toward sponsors.

I am not promoting her to a playable racer. Nothing in those pages puts her in a URL grid as a competitor you can pick.

Who portrays her

Brooke Burke voices and portrays Rachel. Wikipedia's page on Burke records a Spike Video Game Award for the role. The game article and the character page name the same actor, so the credit is three sources, not a caption on a screenshot.

The green 350Z

The character page describes her car as a Metallic #10 green Nissan 350Z with the Art Factory 6 vinyl, a Mantis body kit, a Twister carbon hood, 20-inch Racing Hart CP-FTUNE wheels and a Lex 42 spoiler. That parts list is one visual write-up. I am not calling it an EA spec sheet.

The same car is the one the player drives at the airport, and it is the cover car. A later game, Need for Speed Payback, includes a Rachel Teller 350Z edition. The wiki also lists her as an acquaintance of Rose Largo in Undercover. I treat that as a continuity note, not as a second playable appearance in Underground 2.
