GAME DATA
Game Data keeps track of all game information including completion percentage, best times, simulation mode data, records, options and more.
GARAGE DATA
Whether you want to race Arcade Mode with your cars earned in Simulation Mode or you have different cars on different memory cards (8MB) (for PlayStation®2), Garage data can be loaded to access vehicles on your memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2).

GAME MODES
In the world of Gran Turismo, there are various ways for players to enjoy the excitement an automobile presents. A boundless world awaits you. Enjoy.
WANT TO RACE?
Players have a wide selection of cars to choose from, you can conduct simplified modifications/settings changes, and save replays, so it even suits the purpose of taking the range of cars for a test drive.

Tips & Maps
IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR
To optimize your racing line, trace the track backwards from the longest straight, aiming to maximize straight portions and using all available track width, adjusting for elevation, camber, and sacrificial corners.
GET A GRIP
Vehicle configuration dictates corner entry and exit; rear-drive cars favor a wide-angled entry and late apex, while front-drive cars can use an acute angle with an earlier apex to maximize traction.
Tires are often the limiting factor in any racing equation.
Tires have limited grip for accelerating, slowing, and turning; visualize a string analogy where steering, throttle, and brake inputs compete for available grip, emphasizing smooth transitions to maintain control.
START YOUR ENGINES
In the heat of racing, remember that smooth inputs lead to fewer surprises and faster laps, as experienced drivers often feel time slow down when they are performing at their best.
