Game description

The first game in the Gran Turismo series of racing simulations. You can choose between the arcade version (featuring classic cars such as Corvettes and Aston Martins) or the simulation, which is the true heart of the game. The simulation starts you on an entire racing career beginning with a cheap used car and second-rate tracks. You will find yourself longing for the Dodge Viper as your sad $10,000 starting fund puts you behind the wheel of a used Honda Prelude or Mazda RX-7. As you win races, acquire money, and earn advanced licenses, you are able to buy better cars and race in more competitive matches right up to the GT World Cup. Features more than 140 cars.

Screenshots

Title screen.
Intro movie scene.
Zero to sixty...and maybe just a little more. Because of the more realistic nature of Gran Turismo, slow, but agile cars like this Honda Civic can sometimes beat 'Vettes on tight, curvy tracks.
I'm ready for my close-up. The replays in the GT series are always beautiful.
American Muscle. One of the many higher end cars in the game in one of the many colors available.
In the driver's seat. First person view gives you a good feel for the road, but third person tends to give you better positioning.
Classic Vette, classic Vette spinout. These occur all too often when you're starting out.
Over the river and through some tunnels... Gran Turismo tracks cover a number of different sceneries.
Night rider. Some tracks take place at night and feature some nice lighting effects.
Here you can buy a car, go race, and manage your garage.
In at the Dodge dealership.
Pick a car you'll most likely never afford. ;)
Oohh, Viper !
In at Mitsubishi.
The Mitsubishi FTO GR.
The Mitsubishi GTO.
Testing my maximum speed.
Woo hoo ! 158 MPH unmodified !!!
First place in the record list.
A close up shot from the replay mode.
You can choose to have all your stats on screen as well.
The arcade mode of Gran Turismo.
What racing game would be complete without at least one muscle car? For those of you who are wondering what the 427 stands for, that's how many cubic inches all eight cylinders hold. That's HUGE.
The 427 accelerates it faster than almost any car in the game.
But like every muscle car, the brakes suck.
Since you begin with 10,000 initial credits, you can buy used cars from Japanese car dealerships under inventory; there are under 10,000 car options.
Tune up parts: you can buy car parts to upgrade the car performance.
License: you must obtain these one to participate in cups and special events.
The first B license test is starting and stopping and here's a brief tutorial before you begin.
Now go, try it.
Not all US and UK cars dealerships offer racing-tuned special models, only the Japanese ones do it, for example Mitsubishi offers the GTO LM Edition and it's a bargain but really worth it.
Your home: here you can save the game progress, look the garage for owned cars and trade cars to another friend.
Car wash: when your car gets dirty, you can wash and detail it here.
