This game marks Polyphony Digital's fourth outing in the famed Gran Turismo
series. The GT games are generally viewed as somee of the best racing games on
the market. It has been stated that this installment will have vastly improved
AI(we all know how that works out) over its predecessors. This guide will be
used mainly to give general information about this game, but I will go into
depth on certain aspects. The game has been confirmed to have over 700 cars
from auto makers spanning Europe, North America, and Asia.
*If you have a Gran Turismo 3 save on your Memory Card, then you can transfer
up to 100,000 credits to Gran Turismo 4 at the start of the game giving you
110,000 to start with*
There are two different modes with which to race in Gran Turismo 4.
A-spec - This is the normal racing mode. The user has complete control over
------ the car. You will have to be aware of your position as well as the
position of other drivers as you tear around the tracks.
B-spec - This mode is a new addition to Gran Turismo 4. Your car is controlled
------ by an AI which you can influence. There are five different settings
for the personality of the AI ranging conservative to road rage-like
aggresive. There is also an option to have the driver take a pit stop
on the next available opportunity.
You can switch between the two modes in the pit.

This section is mainly for beginners to the Gran Turismo games or racing in
general. I will cover a few basic areas that can help improve a beginner's lap
times. However, as this is a general FAQ, I wont go too in-depth in the skills
and techniques covered here. Advanced Gran Turismo players probably won't find
this section too interesting.
One more note; Polyphony Digital hypes this game as having 'realistic physics'.
Don't think that just because you can drive a 1000hp car in the game doesn't
mean that you can handle one in real life. Nothing can replace real life
experience. Don't try anything that may put you or others at risk.
3a. TRANSMISSION TYPE (GTTRT)
Manual - In manual transmissions, the driver must switch from gear to gear him/
------ herself. A lot of experienced drivers and racers use this type of
tranny because of the added control it gives. Manuals also give
faster acceleration than automatic transmissions. In day to day
driving, more people use automatics for the ease of use in traffic and
there is less maintenance/skill required.
Auto - With this type of transmission, the car's cpu does all of the shifting
---- for you. The shifting is a lot smoother for inexperienced drivers.
Some high-end performance racers use this type so they can worry about
other things going on in the car. It is argued that for performance
cars, an auto transmission can get from gear to gear faster than a
3b.DRIVETRAIN (GTDRT)
FF - This is Front Engine/Front Wheel Drive. These type of cars aren't very
stable under hard acceleration. They also have understeer. For these
reasons, most FF sports cars are not considered serious racing machines.
The weight of the engine is positioned over the wheels that drive the car,
so there isn't a loss of traction often.
Understeer - When turning, the force that pushes you toward the outside of
a turn. Cars with understeer are less likely to spin out so
this is considered a beginner's drivetrain.
FR - This is Front Engine/Rear Wheel Drive. This is the drivetrain that a lot
of high end sports cars and racing bred cars are made of. First it
provides a lot a traction in straight line acceleration since the weight
of the car shifts over the rear wheels some under full throttle. While
cornering, the car will invoke oversteer.
Oversteer - A characteristic of rear wheel drive cars. When cornering the
car's tail tends to slide due to the rear wheels providing the
acceleration. This drivetrain makes it easier for experienced
drivers to whip/slide through turns, but novice drivers will
have a tendency to lose control or spin out.
MR - This is Mid Engine/Rear Wheel Drive. Some supercars/exotics use this
drivetrain. It benefits by having equal weight distribution to all wheels
(because of the engine mounted just behind/in the area of the cockpit).
The rear wheels(which drive the car forward) in an MR car always have some
traction on them, making them a little more stable in cornering than FR
cars. They will still invoke understeer, but not as much as an FR car.
AWD - This is All Wheel Drive(the engine is usually in front). AWD cars are
the most stable. They are great for unexperienced drivers. There is
always traction in one wheel or another, making them ideal for dirt/off-
road racing. Due to this traction, they can be slightly hard to turn at
RR - This is Rear Engine/Rear Wheel Drive. This is the rarest type of
drivetrain. Since the weight of the engine is over the rear wheels,
traction when accelerating is amazing(see how fast a Ruf can get 0-100).
This drivetrain can be detrimental with oversteer if you don't take care
with the throttle when cornering. They will also wear out the rear tires
amazingly quick, so they're not ideal for endurance races.
3c.BASIC DRIVING TECHNIQUES (GTBAS)
Drafting - This is one car following closely behind another in its slipstream.
-------- In daily highway driving, this can be used for fuel efficiency when
traveling long distances. In racing, its used for fuel efficiency
and a speed burst. The cars can travel a few mph faster because they
share the same 'pocket of air'.
Slipstream - This is the 'passageway' of air that flows behind a car. This
---------- slipstream effect works in the following way. As a single car
races around a track, it creates a "bubble" of high-density air
in front of it and a bubble of low-density air behind. The
difference in the pressure between these two air pockets creates
drag, the force that impedes motion. This drag force limits the
top speed the car can attain. But if a second car pulls up
behind the first, the slipstreams created by the the two merge
so that the first car losses its aft bubble and the second car
loses its front bubble. This effect reduces the drag force each
car experiences and both are able to travel slightly faster.
Another use of drafting occurs when a slower car pulls in behind
a faster car and takes advantage of the first car's slipstream.
This has the effect of helping the second car go faster while
forcing the faster car to work harder thereby narrowing the
performance gap between the two opponents.
But eventually, the second car needs to pass the first in order
to make a run at the victory. Drafting can also assist in this
effort if the second driver can take advantage of the "slingshot
effect." By dropping back from the first car a little, the low-
pressure bubble aft of the first car then "sucks" the second car
forward. The second driver then gains a little more speed as he
pulls out to the side to pass the first car. By the same token,
the first car loses speed as the low-density bubble is fully
reformed aft of his car.
Cornering - As a general practice, you want to brake early entering corners.
--------- Braking earlier will allow you to accelerate earlier coming out
of the corner. Some really good drivers can overcome poor handling
when cornering by knowing when to brake and accelerate. The ideal
braking point is dependent on the car and the corner. Practice
with one car will help you figure out its limits.
Start wide upon entering the corner and hit the brake. Turn the
wheel, and accelerate through the apex of the turn. Exit wide, and
you have completed a good turn. Remember, in slow, out fast.
Understeer - This is a car not turning very much in relation to how much the
---------- wheel is turned at high speeds. This is a characteristic of
FWD cars and some AWD. Generally, understeer is not very good
for racing on tracks with lots of tight, twisty turns.
Oversteer - This is a car turning a lot in relation to how much the wheel is
--------- turned. This is a characteristic of RWD and some AWD cars.
Cars with oversteer are easier to whip/slide through corners,
but are much easier to spin out. That is the reason why FWD
is considered a beginner's drivetrain and RWD is for more
experienced drivers.
3d.DRIFTING (GTDRI)
Drifting is the concept of using the brake and throttle to slide the back end
of your car around a turn. In road racing, I prefer to go through turns the
normal way. However, this technique is indespensible in rally racing. To
start your car drifting, you must brake early when entering a turn. Next, cut
the wheel a little harder into the turn than normal. Now, press on the gas to
make the back end slide around the turn in a wider arc. As you gain experience
you'll be able to tell when to press the gas and if you need to adjust the
angle of your car mid-drift.
Feint Drifting - This is turning the car slightly toward the opposite way
before entering a turn to initiate the drift.
Ex. - When making a left turn, the driver can move the wheel slightly to the
right before beginning the left turn.
Using the car's weight balance and power is the right way to drift. Using the
emergency brake to initiate a drift is less efficient than a properly done
3e.DRIVING TIPS(GTDTI)
These are general driving tips. They will help out beginners along with
players who are trying to pass the license exams.
-If you find yourself spinning out a lot due to oversteer, try moving the brake
balance toward the front and softening the front springs
-If you are having trouble controlling your car, then maybe you should scale
back the horsepower a bit. It is better to have a slower car that's
controllable than a powerful one that can't stay on the road. This may be
especially true for beginners in rally races.
From LuNAcY3351:
-Braking too much to a lower speed is better than going off the course
-When accelerating right after a turn in a straight road, don't try to
immediately "balance" the car so that it goes straight. Let it run for a
while, and if it's going off the course, SLOWLY turn towards the middle of the
road. It affects the accelerating speed especially if ASM is on.
-The red blinking light that appears right before a turn is the "recommended
gear" where you should brake until. It is just for beginners, and you might
drive better using it at first. Later you'll learn to disobey it.
-when you got off the course into the grass or sand in a high speed, do not try
to immediatly turn back to the course. Try to run as straight as possible back
into the course so that you won't lose control after you got onto the road.
This is the full car list from the American version. I may have made some
slight mistakes. If so please contact me so I can get it corrected.

Garage Erasing Bug -
Quoted from TLSBill of www.gamefaqs.com:
"This is gonna be rare I'm sure, but wanted to warn people. Just in case.
If you insert a DIFFERENT memory card into the system and save from the "HOME"
save function, it doesn't save the garage. It will ask you several questions
(this card has a different game on it/are you sure/are you double sure/etc...)
and then act like it saved fine, but it didn't.
If you want to backup your game to another memory card you MUST use the PS2
Browser to copy the game. Before I get flamed, I did it twice (the 2nd time on
purpose) to make sure it really happened. This will only affect people backing
up the game, but if you care enough to back it up, you care enough to not wanna
lose your cars."
6a.LICENSE EXAMS (GTLIC)
The License Exams need to be passed in order to enter some events in Gran
Turismo 4 in A-Spec mode. You will get a bonus car for passing all the tests
for any license with all bronze, silver, or gold.
FFBeowulf has an excellent guide on www.gamefaqs.com detailing all of the
license exams. You should check it out if you need help on any specific test.
Watching the demo before taking license exams can help greatly.
National B License
B-1: Acceleration and Braking: 1
After a standing start, accelerate to the 100-meter finish line,then bring the
car to a complete stop. Your elapsed time fromthe moment you start to the
point you stop the car will be measured. Finding the exact point to brake and
how much brakingforce to apply are the key points here.
Mazda DEMIO (J) '99
Bronze Time: 0'11.300
Silver Time: 0'10.400
Gold Time: 0'10.150
B-2: Acceleration and Braking: 2
This test consists of another standing start. Now rush to the 200-meter line
and bring the car to a full halt as near to the finish ine as possible.
Because the distance is greater than in the previous test, your rate of travel
will be faster; thus braking distances will be also be increased.
Use the braking point from the previous test as a guide and make the necessary
Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J) '95
Bronze Time: 0'12.200
Silver Time: 0'11.220
Gold Time: 0'11.000
B-3: Basics of Cornering: 1
We'll tackle the essentials of the "out-in-out" racing line for this test using
the first corner of the Deep Forest Course. As you run flat out on the
straight, veer to the outside edge of the track. Look for the curbing and the
apex. If the car runs over the curbing, keep the throtle constant, because if
you're too aggressive with the gas pedal, you'll invoke understeer. This will
result in going off at the exit.
Honda CR-X del Sol SiR '92
Bronze Time: 0'33.500
Silver Time: 0'31.500
Gold Time: 0'30.900
B-4: Basics of Cornering: 2
Using the same section of the Deep Forest Course, this time, we'll try it in a
powerful front-engine/rear-wheel drive car. Always remember that more power
means faster rate of travel. Drive the same line as you did in the previous
test; however, you'll need to brake harder because of the car's faster speed.
And as before, once you're on top of the curbing, keep the throttle even. If
you get on the gas too much, this time you'll oversteer and spin out.
Nissan SILVIA Q's AERO (S14) '96
Bronze Time: 0'32.300
Silver Time: 0'30.400
Gold Time: 0'29.800
B-5: 1 Lap Guide Run (Tsukuba)
In order to memorize tricky Tsukuba Circuit, do a few laps following the pace
car. Try and mimic its exact racing line. The pace car will adjust its speed
to yours, so if you choose to go slower, the pace car will also. Kick it up a
notch and the pace car will do the same. Again, no passing or hitting the pace
car. Although it's a tight, short track, Tsukuba is essential in learning the
basics of high-performance driving. Go slowly to learn the track first, then
gradually increase your pace.
Bronze Time: 1'37.000
Silver Time: 1'29.300
Gold Time: 1'27.200
B-6: Acceleration and Braking: 3
We've returned to the drag strip. Now for an even longer acceleration/braking
run. This time, from a standing start, accelerate to the 500-meter line and
bring the car to a complete stop. Because of the higher speeds, it'll prove
more difficult to find the proper braking point. Again, use the 100-meter
point as a guideline and make the necessary adjustments.
Renault Megane 2.0 16V '03
Bronze Time: 0'25.500
Silver Time: 0'23.300
Gold Time: 0'22.800
B-7 - Acceleration and Braking: 4
This is the final acceleration/braking test. For this finale, we'll use the
super high-output frong-engine/rear drive (FR) Dodge Viper. Our distance:
1000 meters. Because you'll be braking from a peak speed of more than 125 mph,
finding the ideal braking point will be very difficult. Master this test, and
you'll find that when racing, this experience will prove quite beneficial.
Dodge VIPER GTS '99
Bronze Time: 0'30.000
Silver Time: 0'27.810
Gold Time: 0'27.000
B-8 - Basics of Cornering: 3
Let's learn the basics of cornering using the final turn of Twin Ring Motegi's
last Loop. Your test car will be the Maxda Eunos Roadster. Unlike that of the
Deep Forest Course, this hairpin is a right-hander. The corner is a decreasing
-radius type, so make sure you apply plenty of brakes before going in. Don't
try to dive into the apex. Instead follow a line similar to that of a large
Mazda MX-5 Miata J-Limited (NA, J) '91

Gold Time: 0'15.400
Coffee Break 1 - Maneuver Around the Cones
It's time to take a break and recharge your energy. We call these fun,
relaxing stages, "coffee breaks." You'll see a number of cones lined up in
front of you. Get to the finish line on the other side of the cones, without
knocking them over, as quickly as possible and bring the car to a dead stop.
You can use any part of the course here, so look for a line you're most
comfortable with.
Daihatsu Copen Active Top '02
Bronze Time: --'--.---
Silver Time: 0'13.200
Gold Time: 0'11.800
B-9 - Basics of Cornering: 4
Now we'll run the same section in a more powerful car. Our mount is the BMW M3
CSL. Because speeds are much higher in this car, you'll need to be more
aggressive with the brakes. Use the distance markers on the side of the track
as guide points. If you're too quick and hard on the throttle at the corner's
exit, the rear end will most likely come around, so use caution. Driving over
the curbing too much also may result in a spin.
Bronze Time: 0'13.500
Silver Time: 0'12.900
Gold Time: 0'12.550
B-10 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Laguna Seca)
Let's do a lap of the historic Laguna Seca Raceway following the pace car. The
prime objective here is to learn the track, so don't worry about setting lap
records just yet. Follow the pace car and memorize its exact racing line. The
infamous Corkscrew is a blind downhill left-right S curve, and getting the
braking point correct is imperative in establishing a good lap time. Make sure
you memorize where to apply the brakes before turning in.
Citroen C3 1.6 '02
Bronze Time: 2'28.800
Silver Time: 2'18.000
Gold Time: 2'14.000
B-11 - Basics of Dirt Driving: 1
Let's gauge your car-control ability on dirt using the hairpin corner of the
Grand Canyon Course. After taking the first right-hander flat out, go as far
to the outside edge of the track as possible before turning into the corner.
Try to keep a high rate of speed through this corner. Remember that on dirt,
the car's steering and brakes aren't as effective as when driving on tarmac, so
adapt your driving style accordingly.
Toyota CELICA 2000GT-FOUR (ST165) '86
Bronze Time: 0'19.400
Silver Time: 0'18.000
Gold Time: 0'17.650
B-12 - Basics of Dirt Driving: 2
See how quicly you can take the super-fast right-hander of the Swiss Alps
Course. Because the level of grip is much lower on dirt than on tarmac, you'll
need to rely on more than just steering to guide the car effectively.
Controlling the car's balance and efficient use of the brakes are key to
pointing the car's nose in the correct direction. There are lots of surface
irregularities here so try not to get knocked off your racing line.
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85
Bronze Time: 0'19.500
Silver Time: 0'18.000
Gold Time: 0'17.500
B-13 - Basics of Cornering: 5
The final corner of Tsukuba Circuit will test your high-speed-cornering skills
on asphalt. You'll start the test traveling 50 mph. From the outside edge of
the track, brake slightly as you approach the corner. Get to the inside of the
corner as soon as possible and straddle the curbing. Keep the throttle even
through this part of the corner. Just as the curbing ends, get on the
throttle, and head for the outside part of the track. Make effective use of
the signs located at the edge of the track to determine your braking point.
Then find the optimal entry speed.
Fiat Barchetta Giovane Due '00
Bronze Time: 0'25.000
Silver Time: 0'23.100
Gold Time: 0'22.650
B-14 - Basics of Cornering: 6
The first corner of the El Capitan course is also quite fast; another ideal
place to test your competence of high-speed corners. Unlike Tsukuba, the apex
is deeper into the turn here, so the key is patience. Starting from the right
edge of the track, look for the apex and turn in. Keep the car on the inside
of the corner, and refrain from getting back on the throttle until you're
almost out of the corner. Throttle on too early and you get understeer, which
will cause the car to go off the track. Practice this corner a few times to
find the correct throttle - on point.
Infiniti G35 COUPE '03
Bronze Time: 0'20.200
Silver Time: 0'18.800
Gold Time: 0'18.100
B-15 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Infineon Raceway)
One of America's most popular tracks, Infineon Raceway (formerly known as Sears
Point), is the site for this test. Follow the pace car to find the proper
racing line and braking points. This track features a number of high-speed
corners where only a tap of the brakes is necessary. There's also plenty of
elevation changes and blind corners hidden behind hills, so drive with caution.
And no passing or hitting the pace car.
Chrysler PT-Cruiser '00
Bronze Time: 2'35.000
Silver Time: 2'22.600
Gold Time: 2'19.000
B-16 - Graduation Test
In order to get your B-Class Racing License, you'll need to tackle the middle
section of Tsukuba. The right-hander directly beneath the Dunlop Bridge can be
taken flat if you follow the proper driving line. A tricky hairpin follows; be
sure you don't dive into the apex too aggressively. It looks simple and
straightforward, but looks can be deceiving. the apex is quite late, so be
patient and practice, practice practice.

Bronze Time: 0'25.680
Silver Time: 0'24.200
Gold Time: 0'23.700
National A License
A-1 - Complex Corners: Beginner 1
This test measures your ability to negotiate S-curves on a high-speed track.
Immediately upon launch, take note of the red and white curbing on your right.
At the end of this curbing is the first corner, a left-hander. This corner's
curbing reveals the location of the apex. Take the correct line and you should
be able to get through it flat out. Cross the bridge, and then you'll come
upon a right-hander. Stay as far left as you can when entering the corner and
then look for the apex. Remember, this is a late-apex corner. You should also
be patient with the throttle here, as you don't want to upset the car's balance
in mid-turn. At the corner's exit, don't bother getting set up on the far
right before the next left-hander because you don't have time. Go straight for
the apex. Give a light tap of the brake pedal as you enter the corner. It's
paramount you be patient with the trottle here because if you get on it too
quickly, you'll provoke understeer, which will keep you from making the last
turn smoothly.
Mitsubishi FTO GPX '94
Bronze Time: 0'33.080
Silver Time: 0'31.100
Gold Time: 0'30.750
A-2 - Complex Corners: Beginner 2
Now let's run the same section of the previous test in the Lotus Elise 111R.
Remember that because the Elise is a powerful mid-engine sports car, its
behavior through the esses will be different than that of a front-engine car.
When going through the right-hander after the bridge, make sure you hit the
brakes to transfer the car's weight to the front tires, otherwise, you'll get
a lot of unwanted understeer. If you get too wide at this corner's exit, you
won't be able to stay on the correct line for the following left-hander.
Correctly utilizing the car's fore/aft weight balance is important here.
Lotus Elise 111R '04
Bronze Time: 0'30.290
Silver Time: 0'28.400
Gold Time: 0'28.000
A-3 - Tackling High Speed Corners: 1
This test will see how well you negotiate the Deep Forest track's final corner,
a high-speed left-hander. We'll use the high-output front-engine/front-drive
Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder for this test. After launch, set yourself on the
right side of the track, then start turning the wheel early to make up for the
car's understeering tendencies. Tap the brake pedal to control your speed
through the corner. Unless you exit the corner at the optimum speed, you'll
probably go off. Starting off slowly, then gradually raising your pace as you
get accustomed to the car and the corner is recommended here.
Mitsubishi ECLIPSE Spyder GTS '03
Bronze Time: 0'12.700
Silver Time: 0'12.300
Gold Time: 0'12.000
A-4 - Tackling High Speed Corners: 2
This is one of Suzuka Circuit's most challenging corners, called the t30R.
You'll start on the back straight, going about 80 mph. Set yourself up on the
right side of the track. The approaching corner is tight here, so start
turning immediately after you're off the brakes. If you're late turning in,
you won't be able to hit the apex. As a result, you'll more than likely go off
at the corner's exit. As you practice this corner, look for the optimum
turn-in point for therein lies the key to mastering this corner.
Subaru LEGACY B4 3.0R '03
Bronze Time: 0'23.700
Silver Time: 0'22.500
Gold Time: 0'22.050
A-5 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Grand Valley East)
For this test, we'll do a lap of Grand Valley East along with a pace car.
Although Grand Valley is a fairly flat course, the East section, with its many
shortcuts and hills, is in some ways more fun and rewarding than the full
version. The first shortcut comes right after the first corner. Take caution
approaching the next corner because it's a blind one, hidden behind a hill.
The next shortcut is equally challenging, coming right after the tunnel. Make
sure you're set up correctly on the left side of the road while you're still in
the tunnel.
Audi A3 3.2 quattro '03
Bronze Time: 1'36.800
Silver Time: 1'32.000
Gold Time: 1'30.500
A-6 - Complex Corners: Intermediate 1
Twin Ring Motegi's S-curves is the site for the test. Taking the correct
racing line is paramount when negotiating these corners. If your exit through
the first corner is too aggressive, you'll have a difficult time taking the
proper line into the next corner. And getting away quickly from the second
corner is vital because it leads into a long straight. Use the full track when
exiting the second corner, going all the way to its edge. Set yourself up on
the right side for the final left-hander while you're still on the straight.

A-7 - Complex Corners: Intermediate 2
We'll use the Nurburgring's technical section for this test. Exit the first
left-hand corner at full throttle, and then get on the brakes as you enter the
esses. The first turn here has a late apex, so you'll have to be ready to
steer the other way as soon as you exit to make it in time for the turn-in
point for the second corner. If you take the correct line, you can get through
the second corner flat out. Finding a nice rhythm is important when tackling
this section.

Coffee Break 2 - Knock Over the Cones Laid Out in a Spiral
We'll follow that up with another "coffee break" to revitalize your spirits.
There are 100 cones placed on the Driving Park Course. Knock all of them over
and head straight for the finish line. The cones are placed in a spiral where
the arc gets larger and larger. Car control is key to knocking the cones down.
Your test car is the Peugeot 206 CC.

A-8 - Applied Cornering: 1
This section utilizes the hairpin at El Capitan, which leads to a challenging
corner immediately before the bridge. Effectively guide your car through the
various left-handers to pass this test. The first left-hander actually
consists of two turns, leading onto a tighter exit. Don't panic and go to the
inside right away. Stay to the middle of the track, and drive on the curbing
to hit the apex. Then the next left-hander, which comes immediately after the
straight, can be cleared without touching the brakes.

A-9 - Applied Cornering: 2
Here, you'll be faced with real-life racing conditions. Suzuka's famed esses is
the venue. The corners are aligned in a relatively simple manner: left,
right, left. However, you won't be able to get through them at full throttle.
You'll need to brake properly for each corner to effectively negotiate this
section. Keep the nose of the car pointed in the correct direction--that is
key. Establishing a good rhythm is also important. And do not upset the car's
chassis. The final left-hand corner has a tendency to invoke understeer, so be
ready to accommodate accordingly.

A-10 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Suzuka)
We'll use Suzuka Circuit again; but this time we'll run the entire course, for
a flying lap with the pace car. Suzuka is a long course, so be sure to
memorize its layout and learn the proper racing lines before going all out. A
variety of difficult and challenging corners exists here, such as Reverse
Banking, Degner, and t30R. The best way to learn the course quickly and better
your lap times is making full use of the pace car. And as before, hit or pass
the pace car, and you fail. Your test vehicle is the Acura Integra Type R, DC5

A-11 - Applied Dirt Driving: 1
The cliffs of the Grand Canyon is the site for this off-road test. Your
capability of cornering on dirt will be gauged here. This section consists
mainly of a series of right-hand corners. There's a slight left-hander soon
after the start, which you should take more or less in a straight line. Then
you'll come upon the first right-hander. Make sure you have the car pointed in
the correct direction as you enter the turn. Immediately after this corner,
the car will veer toward the edge of the track. Don't panic. Carefully aim
for the inside of the next corner. Keep a consistent steering angle through
both corners--like it's one big half-circle-- and you should be successful

A-12 - Applied Dirt Driving: 2
Safely and quickly get through the three corners of the uphill winding section
of Tahiti Maze to pass this test. The key here is to control your car as it
slides through the corners. Brake before getting to the corner; if you
transfer the car's weight to the front, and get on the throttle, the car will
slide. Control the slide with the steering and throttle, and get through the
turn without dropping your speed. Do this and you'll not only pass this test,
you'll master the art of drifting.

A-13 - Tackling Blind Corners: 1
Rocks and stones abound on this mountain trial, as do blind corners, so proceed
with caution. After you exit the first tunnel, you'll be faced with the first
of two blind corners. Make sure you slow the car down properly and get to the
inside of the turn. Enter the second tunnel on the right side, and exit at the
left edge, straddling the side of the tunnel wall. This will set you up
properly for the next corner, which is marked by yellow lines. If you're on
the inside of this turn, you should be able to enter the straight at a good
clip. Practice makes perfect, so try it over and over until you get the
perfect run.

A-14 - Tackling Blind Corners: 2
Within the Nurburgring's middle section are a series of tricky downhill
corners. You'll be tested on how well you handle these high-speed corners.
The first section consists of esses. They're not only blind, they're canted.
If you choose to run on the outside edge here, you'll more likely go off, so be
cautious right-handers. Don't stay left when setting up to turn in here;
instead hug the inside of the corners. A short straight follows, which is then
followed by a chicane-like left-hander. Slow down accordingly, then get back
on it as you hit the apex. Make sure you're on the throttle quickly. Choose
the line that allows you to get on the gas earliest. You'll get a sense of the
Nurburgring's unique character through this section.

A-15 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Trial Mountain)
We'll take a flying lap of the Trial Mountain Course with the pace car. The
key to successfully lapping this course is to nail the numerous blind corners
that appeared in our previous test. Don't be intimidated by the stone walls
and make use of the entire track. Take the last corner, a chicane, with plenty
of caution. Normally, driving on the curbing is not a bad thing, but on this
section, you're in danger of losing control of your car. Lose control here and
you may hit an imposing concrete wall ahead; therefore, you'd best take the
safer route. Passing or hitting the pace car results in automatic
disqualification. Your car is the Mazda 6.

A-16 - Graduation Test
Pass this test to obtain the A-Class Racing License. The section after the
Carrousel of Nurburgring's North Course is our test venue. It's the more
interesting technical portions of the Ring. The first thing to do here is to
observe the demonstration car. Pay close attention to its speed through every
turn. The wrong entry and exit speed through any of these corners will result
in going off. There are also a few blind spots, so try and memorize when and
where to brake and turn in.

IB-1 - Braking During Turns: 1
Trail braking is the term used when you apply the brakes as you make your turn.
Let's try our hand at trail braking through the first corner of Tsukuba
Circuit. After the start, stay to the left side of the track, then look for
the point where the grass on the right ends. Then steer for the curbing.
Brake lightly as you turn into this uphill corner, and get to the inside of the
corner. If you're too early on the throttle, you won't make the turn. Keep
even throttle, and look for the corner post up ahead for your exit. The key
here is to find the ideal cornering speed.

IB-2 - Braking During Turns: 2
Now we'll try high-speed trail braking using the corners of the Nurburgring.
Accelerate on the straight upon launch. Take the first left-hander flat out.
Then veer to the left side of the track to set up for the upcoming right-
hander. There's a sign post on your right, use that as your braking marker.
You'll be steering as you brake, but because the corner is a late-apex one, try
to keep your general driving line to the inside here. If you don't slow the
car down enough or you're too quick getting back on the throttle, you'll go off
at the corner's exit. Practice slowing the car down as you corner to master
this section.

IB-3 - Advanced Level Complex Corners: 1
Two turns blend into one here at Suzuka's Spoon Corner. After the start, take
the sweeper flat out, then you'll approach the first left-hander of Spoon
Corner. Brake appropriately and get on the curbing here. Then get back on the
throttle, giving your car momentum at the exit. Now you'll need to turn into
the next corner. It's tighter than the first one, and it's slightly downhill,
so watch out for understeer. Tap the brakes to slow the car down and stabilize
the chassis. If you're in a manual-transmission car, don't drop down to 2nd,
keep it in 3rd and you'll get through quicker.

IB-4 - Advanced Level Complex Corners: 2
The very difficult middle section of the Deep Forest Course is the venue for
this test. You'll drive through a tunnel after the start. Then the course
will bend to the right. Don't get worked up here and get on the throttle too
quickly or you'll get understeer. After you clear the second tunnel, there's a
corner after the large hill. You'll have to start steering before you can
actually see the corner, or you won't be able to get to the inside. Start
braking as you're cresting the hill, too. For the last corner, keep your
steering inputs minimal and use the throttle to guide your car around the bend.

IB-5 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Costa di Amalfi)
We're back to the pace car lap again. This time follow the GT-R around a lap
of Amalfie Circuit. This track is known for its elevation changes and tight
corners. Observe the pace car carefully and memorize the racing line. You'll
need to carefully control your speed through the downhill portion of the track.
And for the tight esses that come at the end of the lap, you'll need to use the
entire width of the track to get through successfully.

IB-6 - Cone Slalom 1
Using the straight at Fuji Speedway, we've arranged some cones to create a
slalom course. Weave your way through the cones and get to the finish line as
soon as possible. Touch a cone and you're disqualified. As your car gains
speed, it'll become more and more difficult to control. Get off the throttle
as you pass one cone, then on it as you approach another. Developing a good
rhythm is key here. Your test car is equipped with ASM (Active Stability
Management) turned on. This system uses the brakes to stabilize the car's
balance. It'll compensate for light under- and oversteer, keeping your car's
chassis composed through most of the run.

IB-7 - Cone Slalom 2
You'll perform the same slalom as the previous test; however, this time ASM
will be switched off. Your test vehicle is the BMW Z4. Once you start
gaining speed, the car will have a tendency to spin, so you need to be very
steady with your driving inputs here. And it's imperative that you do use the
throttle abruptly in mid-turn. Keep an eye on the speedometer, and figure out
the optimal speed toget through the slalom successfully. And note how
different the car reacts with ASM switched off as to when it was on.

IB-8 - City Street Challenge: 1
Now we'll use the street course in New York to gauge your ability on taking
city turns. Unlike corners on a race track, you'll get onto the curbing for an
instant through these 90-degree corners, so make sure your entry speed is
optimal. Determing the exact braking point is vital in controlling the speed
of the car, so concentrate on when and how hard to apply the brakes. In the
middle section of the track, there's a place where a narrow pass leads onto a
large, wide road. Make sure you use all of the track here to find the most
effective line possible. The last part of the track consists of a series of 90
degree corners. Don't think of these corners as separate entities, but one
long connected pass. Don't be intimidated by the barriers on the side of the
road, use as much as the track as possible to get through quickly.

Coffee Break 3 - Knock Over the Cones Laid Out in a Spiral part 2
We'll keep refreshing your spirits with yet another coffee break. Remember the
A License Test? Well, you'll be running that course backwards for this stage.
There are 100 cones placed in a spiral. This time, knock them down from the
outside. The turn becomes tighter and tighter so the difficulty level is
higher. It's very important that you don't invoke understeer, so control your
speed. Oh, and you don't have to knock the cones over, simply touching them is

IB-9 - City Street Challenge: 2
Now let's see how good you are at finding the right racing line. We'll use the
tight sections of the Italian street course. Right after the start, you'l come
upon a section where you'll come upon a section where you'll be sandwiched
between walls. There are slight curves here, so tap the brakes and slow the
car down. From there you'll come upon a series of combined corners. Use as
much track as possible and try to go through in as straight a line as possible.
Throttle work is key here, don't go full throttle and off throttle abruptly,
try to stay even throughout. Learning the corners and maintaining a good
rhythm is the key to success here.

IB-10 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Hong Kong)
Now for the pace car to make yet another appearance. You'll follow it for a
lap around Hong Kong's street course. The key to this track is that the width
of it varies greatly from one place to another. Like the street course in New
York, when the width of the track changes in mid-corner, use the wider portion
to the maximum. When going from narrow to wide, don't presume that the curbing
is the end of the corner. Envision the line all the way to the exit, even
before it comes into view. When the road goes from wide to narrow in mid-
corner, get the car pointed in the proper direction while you're on the wider
portion or you'll be unable to make the full turn. Take in the beautiful
lights of the city as you learn this track.

IB-11 - Competition Dirt Racing: 1
This is a test that utilizes the high-speed section of the Grand Canyon Course.
It'll be run simulating a real race. There are three successive jumps after
the start. Clear these and you'll approach a left-hand corner. Turn the
steering slightly and get on the brakes, the rear will begin to slide out. Use
the throttle and countersteer to control your drift. You'll use the momentum
of this corner to slide through the following right-hander. Just don't get
too far wide on the first corner's exit or you'll have a difficult time turning
into the right-hander. Also, not losing control of the car through the jumps
is very important.

IB-12 - Driving on Snow: 1
We'll test your car-control ability on icy roads through successive hairpins
of the Ice Arena. Cut through the first left-right corners in somewhat of a
straight line. Then you'll come upon a left-hand hairpin. Swing the car to
the right before going into the corner. Then swing it the other way as you go
in. The momentum of the first swing will enable the car to drift cleanly
through, as long as you countersteer and throttle properly. If your timing on
the throttle isn't perfect, you'll get unwanted understeer. Use the same
technique for the following right-hand hairpin.

IB-13 - Tackling Undulating S-bends
The latter section of El Capitan is where we'll see how you fare through
intense elevation changes. You'll be faced with a downhill right-hander after
the start. Think of this corner as a combination of two right-hand corners.
After driving onto the first curbing, go back toward the outside of the track,
keeping the steering constant, then drive over the second curbing. After
taking the next left-hander flat out, you'll come upon a blind right-hander.
Although you can't see through the corner, you'll need to slow the car down
early to be able to make the turn. The road changes a bit on the exit, so be
ready for understeer. Making the proper adjustments as the road surface
changes is the key to getting good results here.

IB-14 - Tackling Corner Sequences over Undulating Surfaces
We'll use El Capitan yet again, this time we'll run through a challenging hilly
section. The key point here is the steep uphill climb after the tunnel. And
at the top of the hill is the apex of a corner, so you'll need to start braking
as you're still climbing and head for the curbing on the right side. After
this is the downhill part. You'll lose a lot of grip so be wary of understeer.
And the exit for the following left-hander is tight; finding the right place to
get on the throttle is important here.

Time for the pace car again. Follow it for a lap around the Italian street
course. The entire track is very narrow, so if you don't take the perfect
line, your lap times won't be impressive. Follow the pace car closely and
learn the line and where to brake. There's a diffcult hairpin corner here.
The corner is deep, with a late apex. Don't get impatient and dive in too
early. Gradually getting to the inside is the way to go.

IB-16 - Graduation Test
In order to get the International B-Class Racing License, you'll need to tackle
a challenging portion of Italy's street course (that you've just seen). You'll
be timed from the back straight to the point where you exit the hairpin. After
starting on the straight at high speed, use the gate at the bottom of the hill
as a braking point. The road will flatten here; you can also use this as a
guide point. After the gate, there's a right-left S-curve. Keep your speed in
check here. Then you'll approach a right-hander. Stay on the outside, then go
to the inside at the end of the curve.

IA-1 - Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 1
You'll be tested on how well you can negotiate your way through successive
corners for this test. We'll be using the latter half of the midfield. Right
after launch, get ready to brake for a right-hander in the tunnel. For the
following corner, a long left-hand sweeper, keep on the inside and use the
throttle to control the car's balance. After clearing the straight, you'll
come upon S-curves, but be careful of the left-hander that follows. It's a
tight one, and you'll need to begin braking while you're still in the esses. A
good marker to start braking is during your transition from the first left-
hander of the S-curves to the following right-hander. And remember to try and
brake in a straight line or you'll upset the balance of the car. Getting your
straight-line braking down is the key to getting a fast time here.

We'll be using a section of Suzuka for this test, specifically the part from
the esses to Degner Curve. This test will again gauge your ability through
successive corners. Upon launch, you'll come upon the esses. Use the entire
track to get through these corners, and carry as much speed as possible.
You'll be climbing uphill, but there are some flat sections of the track here,
so be prudent of understeer. Once you're clear, you'll be faced with a series
of left-handers until you reach Degner Curve. For the first right-hander, use
the posted braking-distance signs to determine your braking point. A tap is
all you need here, then take the corner as if it were a 90-degree street
corner. Once you exit, you'll be on top of a right-hander, so get on the
brakes again. If you don't slow the car down enough, you'll go off at the
exit. The speed you carry through Degner Curve is important for setting a good
lap time at Suzuka.

We'll be attacking the B-corner chicane of the 90's version of Fuji Speedway
for this test. There's a slight right-hander after the start, take this in a
straight line using the entire track. Head straight for the sign ahead. Use
this sign to determine your braking point for the next corner. Hold off on
your braking as long as possible, going as deep as you can into the turn, and
get on the right-hand curbing. Once you're clear, get back on the throttle,
and then on the brakes again for the following left-hander. If you head for
the inside of this corner too early, you won't make the exit, so try to point
the nose of the car toward the exit as soon as possible. Also, get onto the
curbing. The way you approach the first right-hander here will determine your
pace through the rest of the section.

We'll be using the final part of Apricot Hill for this test, which leads from a
tight chicane to the final corner of the track. After the start, take the
high-speed left-hander and right-hander flat out. At the bottom of the hill,
there's another left-hand corner. Set yourself up on the right edge of the
track. This corner leads into the esses. Drive over the curbing and stay on
the inside as you enter the esses. The last corner of the esses is a tight
left-hander. Try to clear this corner in a straight line, keeping in mind that
the way you brake for this corner will decide on your success or failure. The
key here is not to think of these corners as separate entities, but one long
continuous path.

IA-5 - 1 Lap Guide Run (El Capitan)
The pace car will be making a presence once again. This time it will be the
Seat Ibiza Cupra running a full lap of El Capitan. The elevation changes at
El Capitan are quite intense, especially the latter half of the track after the
tunnel where the undulations play havoc with the fore/aft balance of the car.
Try not to invoke understeer when running here. There are many corners on this
track where you'll have difficulty finding the proper racing line, so observe
the pace car carefully.

IA-6 - Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 3
We'll use the first part of the Autumn Ring for this test. A combination of
unconventional corners await. After the start, take the first left-hander flat
out, then you'll arrive at the succession of corners. The first right-left
should be treated as one corner. Drive as if you're getting on the curbing for
an instant, then cut through to the exit in a straight line. On the following
straight, brake lightly for the next succession of corners. Take this left-
right combination in the same way you took the first one. Do this and you can
carry good speed through the right-hander that leads you onto the straight.
Don't think about going through one corner at a time, rather think how you can
go quickly through the entire stage. That's the key to succeeding here.

The latter half of the Trial Mountain Course is the venue here. We'll be using
a corner with a high difficulty rating. Be aware that the elevation changes
will likely affect the fore/aft balance of the car. After the start, use the
100-meter sign to determine your braking point for the first corner. Stay on
the inside here, making full use of the yellow zone. The slight right-hander
that comes next should be taken at full throttle, but be prepared for the next
right-hander. The first part of this corner is blind so make sure you start
braking before the corner becomes visible. You'll be trail braking so be
mindful of oversteer. After clearing this corner, you'll come upon the final
turn, at the bottom of a steep hill. Controlling your speed through this
corner is vital. If you go in with too much throttle, you won't make the turn.

Now we'll test you on a quirky street-course section, from the hairpin to the
final corner of the Hong Kong Circuit. After the start, the first corner, a
hairpin, will become visible. The road is narrow here, especially when you
consider the speeds you can carry, so be careful that you're not going too
fast. Now you'll come upon a series of 90-degree corners. Carry as much speed
as possible through these corners, using all of the track. Note that when the
road goes from narrow to wide, the corners become easier to see and judge
thanks to the red-and-white curbing, so you can really get on the throttle.
Make full use of the braking distance signs on all the corners.

Here's yet another coffee break. There are cones placed on the lines within
the Gymkhana course. After your start, head to this area and finish the course
without touching the cones. When you get to the finish line, bring your car to
a complete stop. There are a variety of corners here, including a slalom, as
well as 90-degree turns, so all the techniques you've mastered so far will be
put to the test. Skillful use of the throttle is definitely required. Be
mindful of the car's handling balance when tackling this section.

This test takes place in the middle section of the Opera Paris street course.
Let's see how well you can negotiate its wide variety of turns. Accelerate out
of the box, and you'll come to a plaza with a chicane. Brake in a straight
line, and drive on top of the left- and right-side curbing. Use some throttle
steer here. After the following straight, you'll get to the Opera House.
Trail brake into this corner. Make sure you slow the car down enough to get on
top of the curbing on this first corner in the open square. For the following
hairpin, be patient with the throttle and stay to the inside of the corner.
The road surface has many irregularities, so if you go to the outside edges in
some places, you will get understeer.

Let's use the pace car once again for this test. Follow the pace car for a lap
of Fuji Speedway 2005F. The overall layout of the track is similar to the 90's
version of the track, but there are changes in the details, so don't take this
new version lightly. For example, on the latter half of the track, there's a
new tight corner, hidden from view, so you must exercise caution. Observe the
racing line of the pace car and memorize the track's layout.

We'll now test your ability through high-speed corners on dirt. The site is
the final portion of the Swiss Alps Course. You'll jump two hills after the
start, then come upon tight S-curves. Start braking on the outside of the
first corner and then prepare to slide through the turn. Once you swing the
rear end out and establish your drift, use the momentum to slide and drift
smoothly through the left-hand corner. If you slow the car down too much
before the first corner, you won't have the momentum to change the direction
of the slide for the second corner. Try it over and over to find the optimum
entry speed. Repeat the same technique for the next right-hander, but keep in
mind that this corner is quite deep, so the key is to maintain your drift to
the end of the corner. Use the steering and the throttle to keep the car
pointed in the correct direction.

IA-12 - Driving on Snow: 2
The latter section of Chamonix is the venue for the high-speed test on ice and
snow. The level of friction of snow and ice is lower than dirt so car control
is of the essence. The key here are the hairpins. Set the car up for the
drift, swinging the car out in the opposite direction, then swinging it back
toward the turn. The momentum caused by the change of direction should allow
you to slide through the corner more effectively. Start the slide in one
direction using the steering wheel as you either hit the brakes or lift off the
throttle. This feint will help you achieve a smooth powerful drift. Usually,
drifting through a corner means going in at high speed, but on snow, if you
don't slow the car down properly, you'll get lots of understeer.

For our high-speed cornering test, we'll go to the super high-speed section of
the Nurburgring's North course. Make sure you're in constant control of your
high-speed car's speed on this course. After the start, the first left-right-
left can be taken flat out. Start braking for the esses when the road begins
to climb. There isn't much to the first right-hander, but the following left
is rather tight, so make sure you get the car slowed down enough to clear this
corner. Trail braking is necessary, therefore, keeping the car on the driving
surface when slowing the car down is a must. If you don't stick to the inside
of the corner, you won't be able to establish a good time. The two left-hand
corners are rather deep so be careful.

Gold Time: 0'25.580
IA-14 - Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 6
Now for S-curves with a high degree of difficulty. We'll use the latter part
of Twin Ring Motegi's road course. After the start, take the first left-hander
flat out. Then immediately get on the brakes as you approach the esses. For
the first left-hander, try to get onto the curbing as deep into the corner as
possible or you won't be able to make the turn for the next right-hander. If
you get too anxious with the throttle for the right-hander, you'll get
understeer and go off. Try to get the car in a straight line as soon as
possible. Your test vehicle is a high-powered front-engine/rear drive car,
which means if you get on the gas too abruptly, you'll invoke power oversteer.

IA-15 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Nurburgring North Course)
Now for a session with the pace car again. Let's take a lap around the
challenging Nurburgring's North course. It's an incredibly long course, with
one lap measuring about 12 miles. There are more than 170 corners here, so
don't try to set a blistering time right away. You'll need to memorize the
course first. Not only will you need to remember the sections you've seen
before, but you'll need to learn some new bits as well. Make sure you input
every inch of this track into your brain before going all out. Memorize the
location of the curbing and the width of the track in various places for these
bits of information will come in handy. Once you've done this, then start
finding the proper line through the course. Observe the pace car carefully,
and follow its line precisely.

IA-16 - Graduation Test
To obtain your International A-Class Racing License, you'll need to
successfully run the Sarthe Circuit at full wick in a Group C racing car.
You'll start on the Mulsanne Straight. From here, you'll be running flat out
for about 4 miles. Despite being a straight, there are slight kinks here, as
well as road irregularities; be ready at all times on the steering wheel. The
brakes are very powerful on this car so use the 200-meter post as the indicator
to begin braking. After the right-hander, you'll be on another straight for
about a mile. Then you'll be confronted with some tricky corners, one of them
Indianapolis and the other, a 90-degree turn called Arnage. Treat the latter
as if you were running a street course, and enjoy the rush of 237 mph on the

S-1 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Twin Ring Motegi Road Course)
You'll be tested on how quickly you can complete one lap of Motegi's road
course. You've already seen various parts of this track in previous tests, so
try to remember how you ran those sections when going all out here. Your test
vehicle is a race car, therefore the brakes in particular are very powerful.
There are many corners where you'll need to take a dedicated line and pace, so
try not to dive into these corners too abruptly or you'll lose precious
seconds. The main attraction of this track is the part from the first overpass
to just after the esses. Your top speed on the straights will depend on the
lines you take through the corners, so always keep in mind entry and exit

S-2 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Citta di Aria)
You'll be timed through a full lap of Italy's street course. Go as fast as you
can through these narrow city orads. The spots to gain the most time are the
hairpin, which you've already see before in previous tests, and the downhill
tight corner located between the rock walls. The hairpin is a late-apexer so
don't turn in too quickly here. The numerous tight corners of this course are
challenging, but if you think out-in-out on this narrow thoroughfare, you'll
find that you'll develop a rhythm. Try and remember how the pace car ran
through the course. Your test vehicle is the Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto.

S-3 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Special Stage Route 5)
Making its first appearance in the licensing portion of the game is Special
Stage Route 5, of which you'll be doing one complete lap. This course has
numerous technical sections, such as S-curves and late-apexers, so make sure
you have a plan of attack before going all out. You'll be piloting the super
high-performance Saleen S7, so all your skills will be put to the test. The
most important part of this track are the series of corners after the tunnel.
Don't concentrate on just one corner here, rather devise a strategy for getting
through the entire section. There's a hairpin located at the top of the
straight. You'll need to brake while you're still drive uphill. The following
straight and right-hander should be taken in a similar way. Don't get too
aggressive and overcook it on this track because this track makes you pay for

S-4 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Costa di Amalfi)
Here's a course developed on a resort island. It's called Amalfi Circuit and
you'll be required to run one full lap. You'll experience a hillclimb that'll
take you to the top of the island, followed by an intense downhill section.
The course layout can be simply characterized as: a bunch of straights
connected by hairpins. Keep in mind that your exit speed out of the corners
will determine your top speed on the straights. Also remember that on the
first-half of the course, the uphill section, you'll get more understeer than
normal because less weight is on the front tires. Brake hard to transfer
weight to the fronts then point the car in the correct direction. Through the
latter half of the course, the downhill portion, make sure you brake in a
straight line, if you brake while turning, you'll upset the balance of the car.

S-5 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Seattle)
This is another course you're seeing for the first time in the licensing
portion of the game. It's called the Seattle Circuit, and you'll be timed
doing a full lap. We'll be using the Ford GT as the test car. It's a tricky
city road course with plenty of challenging corners after another, so make sure
you memorize the layout before seriously going for a good lap time. The first
hairpin after the starting line is your first obstacle. You'll need to brake
about 200 meters before getting to the corner; make sure you slow the car down
enough to make the turn. The intense uphill straight leads to a blind 90-
degree turn, so you'll have to start braking before the corner becomes visible.
Then there are two places where the car gets airborne. The course widens here,
so make full use of the road and open up the throttle. Use the curbing that's
on most of the corners; let it help you point the car in the correct direction.
This course gives you a taste of the exhilaration of high speed driving.

S-6 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Ice Arena)
Driving in the snow, that's what it's all about here at the Snow Arena Course.
You'll be timed doing one full lap. Although it's short in length, this course
is quite the challenge. The reason: the driving surface here is very slick,
so steering, accelerating and braking are less responsive than on dry tarmac.
Accelerating may be the trickiest, so be delicate on the throttle; remember,
the most important thing is making the car progress forward. And, much in the
same manner as previous tests on slick surfaces, sliding the car is the best
way to get around quickly. Crank the steering as you enter a corner, lift off
the gas or get on the brakes, and you'll get the rear to break loose. This
will get the car to drift. Once you've done that, use the steering and the gas
pedal to control the drift. If you don't have enough weight on the front
tires, you'll understeer off the track. If you're too aggressive on the
throttle, you'll spin, so be careful.

S-7 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Trial Mountain)
Now you'll be timed for a lap around the Trial Mountain Course, with its jagged
rocks and stone cliff walls. It's a high-speed course that requires first-rate
driving skills, so use all that you've learned from the previous tests to clear
this stage. The highlight of this course is a section you've seen previously,
the part after you clear the tunnel. The driving surface of the first right-
hander is slick so make sure you're ready for understeer when turning in.
Through the next tunnel, start on the right and gradually veer to the left.
Cut across the yellow border line at the exit to get as much speed as possible
for the straight. There's a tight blind corner to follow, but if you find the
ideal line here, you'll be able to keep your speed high.

S-8 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Tokyo Route 246)
For this test, you'll be timed for a full lap of Tokyo Route 246, a street
course that cuts through the heart of Tokyo. This long track can be driven
mostly flat out, so finding the right driving line is paramount. One of the
key points here is getting the braking point correct for the first corner.
There's a 100-meter sign before the corner, start braking right before you get
to the sign. Then you'll come upon an oval section. Driving on top of the
inside curbing here will result in better lap times. The speed through the
final corner under the overpass is also important. Be careful not to carry too
much speed through certain parts of the track, and make sure you drive over as
much of th curbing as possible. If you drive over the curbing correctly,
you'll get better lap times...not only here but on virtually any other race

Coffee Break 5 - Cone Maze Challenge
This is your final coffee break. We've created a special course within the
Gymkhana course. Inside, there are 50 cones. Your objective is to hit every
one of these cones located within the special course. You won't be
disqualified by hitting the walls here, but it will result in loss of time, so
be careful. You can even use reverse here, just as long as you hit every cone.
Give it some thought and devise the best route to strike each one of these

S-9 - 1 Lap Time Trial (El Capitan)
Now for a timed lap of the El Captain Course (typo here), pieces of which
you've seen a number of times already. Keep in mind that this course has
intense elevation changes, so maintaining the balance of the car is vital.
The key part of this track is the section after the first right-hand corner.
Because the driving surface changes abruptly, be careful of sudden understeer.
Also, take note of the blind corner after the tunnel. Make sure you're set up
for this corner before it becomes visible. In fact, always envision the corner
ahead of the one you're taking. There are parts on this track where you'll see
stones and rubble to the side; there's very little grip here, so staying away
from these irregularities is recommended.

S-10 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Grand Canyon)
Let's now do a timed lap of the Grand Canyon Course, a long, dirt track.
You'll need plenty of concentration to complete this 3.5-km circuit. The key
point here is the section near the cliffs. There are many corners where you'll
need to slide the car, so car control is vital in establishing a good lap time.
The important things to remember when sliding your car are braking and lifting
off the throttle. The tight part at the end of the cliff section can make or
break your run. Getting too flashy with your driving may result in loss of
time, so be as efficient as possible.

S-11 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Opera Paris)
The pristine streets of Paris is the site for this track, the Opera Paris
Course. You'll be doing a timed lap. Although this course is relatively
simple, there are a number of chicanes placed at open sections of the track.
Getting the car slowed down and effectively negotiating the chicanes are key to
getting a good lap time. Because the performance of the car is so high, make
sure you find the correct braking points for every corner. There are surface
irregularities on this track, which tends to happen on city streets that
collect standing water, so when you get set up on the outside edges of the
road, you may experience understeer. The Place de la Concord serves as the
start and finish line. Envision and think of this track in its entirety as you
devise your plan of attack.

S-12 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Suzuka Circuit)
Now for a timed lap of the most famous course in Japan, Suzuka. You'll be
using the Motul Pitwork 350Z that races in the Japanese Grand Touring
Championship. Reverse Bank, Degner, Spoon, and t30R, are some of the famous
corners on this course. You'll need to use all of your driving skills to get a
good lap time here. The thing about Suzuka is that you can't establish a good
lap time by just concentrating on one corner. To be successful, you must
always be planning for one or two corners ahead of the one you're on. This
means establishing the correct line and speed well in advance. Envision the
course in its entirety--not just bits and pieces at a time--and then devise
your plan of attack.

S-13 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Infineon Raceway - Sports Car Course)
California's popular Infineon Raceway is the site for our next test. We'll be
doing a timed lap of the sports-car course known better as Sears Point. It's a
track that has been designed into the region's rolling hills, resulting in a
unique layout. After the start, you'll have a steep uphill climb. It's
difficult to see the road ahead, with blind corners aplenty, as well as slick
spots where traction is bad, so proceed with caution. About halfway through
the course, you'll be traveling downhill. After the hairpin, there are a
number of slow corners; so establishing a good rhythm is key to clearing this
section. Your test vehicle is the Audi R8, a race car; needless to say, speed
-control is important.

S-14 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Chamonix)
We'll be running a full lap of Chamonix for this test. Let's see how quickly
you can navigate this long ice track that stretches for more than 2 miles. The
snow is partially cleared at the start of the course; nevertheless, there's
very little grip and traction here. If you drive on the outside of the track
where there are patches of snow, you're more than likely to spin, caused by the
difference in grip between the right and left tires. In the tunnel, the snow
on the ground and a number delicate on the throttle and concentrate on the
forward progress of your car, and you should be okay. There are plenty of
places where the car's balance will be compromised as well as the tires'
traction, so refrain from being overly aggressive on the throttle, otherwise
you'll spin. The driving surface is slicker here than on dirt, so be cautious.

S-15 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Circuit de la Sarthe)
The internationally famous high-speed track of Le Mans, Sarthe Circuit 1, is
the venue for this test, one full timed lap. Our mount is the Bentley Speed 8
race car. This course can be divided into three main high-speed sections. The
first and longest, the Mulsanne Straight or Hunadiers, has two chicanes, but
the most challenging is the straight that leads onto Indianapolis Corner.
Here, the track is narrow, and there's a slight bend; therefore, unless you
take the proper line, you're going off. And be careful not to drive on the
curbing too much here. The infield section of the permanent course has
elevation changes with corners that are difficult to see. There are also
corners on a flat plane right after a steep uphill climb. Remember that
without the proper weight on the front tires, you'll invoke understeer.

S-16 - 1 Lap Time Trial (Nurburgring North Course)
To obtain your Super License, you'll need to master the ultimate challenge in
sports-car driving, the North Course at the Nurburgring. Make use of all the
skills you've learned thus far to tackle this test. Your test car has more
performance than the pace car you followed previously, with higher average
speeds, so always be thinking ahead. After crossing the bridge near the start
of the track, you'll come upon a high-speed section where your driving line
must be precise. Then there's a highly technical section that comes after the
off-camber Carrouset; make sure you hug the curbing through these corners. By
just changing your line slightly, you many gain more speed through some parts
of this track, thus improving your lap time. You'll find that the more you lap
the Ring, the more you'll discover its profound nature.

Driving Missions
The Driving Missions are designed to help you improve your racing skills. They
are divided into the categories: The Pass, 3 Lap Battle, Slipstream Battle, and
1 Lap Magic. Here I'll post my and other readers' strategies for completing
these(email@example.com if you have submissions).
The Pass
1. Deep Forest
This mission is easy. Stay right behind the CPU driver on the straight. As
soon as you reach the turn start braking(but not too much, you should take
this turn in 4) a bit later than the CPU and move to the inside. If the CPU
driver starts gaining on you on the back straight, move in front to cut it
2. Grand Valley
3. Cote d'Azur
4. Seattle
5. High-Speed Ring
6. Tsukuba
7. Midfield Raceway
8. Trial Mountain
9. Motegi Oval
10. Sarthe I
Submitted by stan394:
"There are 3 sections of straight with 2 chicanes in between. I stayed
behind the first AI car from the go, caught its draft and shot past it on
the first straight. Got really close to the second car during the first
chicane. Caught its draft and shot past it on the second straight. Didn't
get as close to the lead car on the second chicane. Never caught up with
the lead car on the third straight. Brake really late into the last sharp
right, shot past the lead car. Caught a break when it bumps into my rear
end to propel me to the finish line."
3 Lap Battle
11. New York
Quoted from haloexpert2003:
"Try to slide through the first corner at about 50mph and get onto the back
straight. Brake before the corner and drift through at about 35 mph if you
can manage through to the left-right-right series. THEY KEY IS TO KEEP THAT
SPEED and try to raise it. Cut the next left corner short, it'll gain you some
time. The right corner should be cut close, too. When you get to the final
left corner (before the straight) but it close to the barrier at around 45-50
mph. Draft off of the car in front of you and pass it before the U-turn. Use
the whole corner to build up an exit speed of nearly 40mph (My average was 37)
and continue. Rinse and repeat for the next two laps. You should reach the
final time-tracker with 4 seconds to catch up to the first car. Breeze thru
the U-turn without any mistakes and draft off the car in front of you for the
A few tips from turk173:
- For your first checkpoint, you should only be behind the head car by 27
seconds at the most (26.5 is preferrable). If you are further behind then
this, just restart until you get it.
- You should pass your first car before the McDonalds on the last straight-away
(left-hand side before the u-turn). If you don't, once again restart.
- Exit speed seems to make all of the difference. Make sure you brake early for
the corners before straight-aways so that you can have a high speed after the
Submitted by stan394:
You need to catch 5 AI cars, with the lead car about 28 seconds ahead,
within 3 laps in New York (Reverse). You are given a rather old and slow
Toyota 2000GT '67. The key to handling the car is not to slow down too
much while cornering.
Drift through the Columbus Circle at about 45mph and exit with a speed of
at least 60mph. If you can't reach the first checkpoint within 27 seconds
from the lead car, restart. In the series of 90-degree turns, think about
curves, arcs and semi-circles and make use of the full width of the track.
You should catch the 5th car right after the last left before approaching
Times Square for the first time.
I caught up with the lead car in the last hairpin before the finish line.
From the replay, you will see that the lead car coughs it up during that
turn every time. It skids sideways a couple of times before regaining its
traction. Just don't bump its back while you make the hairpin.
Caught up with the ... car at ...
5th: first lap, before second checkpoint
4th: second lap, before first checkpoint
3rd: second lap, after second checkpoint
2nd: second lap, at hairpin before finish line
1st: third lap, at hairpin before finish line
Checkpoint Times:
1st lap: +26.568 +23.118 +18.464
2nd lap: +15.484 +11.723 +7.393
3rd lap: +5.466 +2.757 -1.122
Overall time: 6:46.333
AI car time : 6:47.455
12. Laguna Seca
Submitted by stan394:
Catch 5 AI cars within 3 laps in Laguna Seca. This time the lead car's
advantage is about 19 seconds. Your car is much faster this time and
handles relatively well. But if you are thrown off to the sand and grass,
no chance.
Caught up with the ... car at ...
5th: first lap, after Hmmmm bridge
4th: first lap, after last tight left before finish line
3rd: second lap, about checkpoint 3 (should have passed it before corkscrew)
2nd: third lap, during hairpin after starting grid
1st: third lap, right before finish line
It would be best if you could pass the first checkpoint within 18 seconds
of the lead car. You may need to brake-gas-brake-gas to get through the
first hairpin after the start. Slow it down to 1st gear for the corkscrew.
If you hit the grass, restart.
Passing the lead car worth mentioning. I got stuck behind the 3rd AI car
before the corkscrew in the second lap, and didn't pass it until the
sweeping left that followed. So I lost some time there. By the time I
caught up with the lead car in the third lap, I was still making the second
to last right turn when the lead car is appraoching the last tight left.
Same thing with New York, the lead car sucks at making the last turn so I
am able to hit the gas about the same time as it regains traction and start
to accelerate. From there I simply out-accelerate it towards the finish
line and beat it by 0.058 seconds. Lucky.

Submitted by Rezillo:
"Driving Mission 13 takes place at Opera Paris, first learn the track very
well with any medium speed car. When you are comfortable with the track
then try the driving mission. I always pay close attention to my split
times to make sure I am running at the pace needed in order to win. The
first 2 laps are the most critical. Especially the first set of corners on
lap 1. If you mess these first corners up I would start over. Using a
mannual I stay in 3rd coming into turn 1, I barely tap the the brake and
stay on the gas, and repeat into the next quick left, but not for the next
right. This is important so you can get a great run out of the corner for
the coming straight. Making the next 90 brake just about at the 50m sign,
dive left and don't be affraid to get on the throttle before the apex, the
track is wider on the other side. You should now be fairly close to the 5th
place car, coming up to the next corner, as he brakes you brake, only a
little harder so you can get back on the gas BEFORE you make the next
right. This is not a traditional racing line. But you want to pass him on
the RIGHT side as he is trying to make the left to right turn. You might
bump him but rubbing is racing, and as long as you don't hit them hard, or
in the rear, no penalty. You should be fully clear of him coming out onto
the next straight. Make the next set of corners and after the 1st gear
hairpin coming onto the next striaght you will recieve your split time if
you are more than 9.100 seconds behind the lead car start over. Thats the
farthest behind I have been able to catch him. A great time would be 8.800
or better and is possible. Make the high speed corner about 107mph and
brake hard at the crosswalk stripes you should be able to pass the 4th
place car here on the inside or going into the next sharp 1st gear turn.
Get as close as you can to the 3rd place car and you should be able to pass
him coming out of the last corner of the first lap or first corner of the
second lap. If not its not over yet. Repeat the steps to passing the 5th
place car. When you get your split time coming onto the long straigt less
than 2.200 from the lead car is ok closer to 1.500 is what you want.
Passing the 2nd place car is done at the same place you passed 4th place.
Make sure all of that is done and you have a good chance of getting that
Focus in first place. Now run a clean consistent 3rd lap and you are doing
excellent. The better your 3rd lap the easier it is to pass him. I have
passed the last car in 2 different spots. One is at the same spot as the
4th and 2nd place cars were passed, and the other was coming out of the
last corner in a drag race to the finish line. Many curse words follow when
you lose the drag race. Good Luck."

One thing about the 5-second penalty - it doens't seem to matter who is at
fault. If you take the AI car's line, and he is stupid enough to ignore
where you are and still ram into you to reclaim his line, you are penalized
for 5 seconds. It's so stupid. Twice in the final turn in the last lap
where I already had the lead car in check. Took its inside entering the
sharp right under the bridge. TWICE, it rams my back like I don't exist and
I was given the 5-second while I can almost smell the finish. I just hope
my car is more powerful so I can push him into the pit stop...
Back to the track, brake early in the straight. Let the car slide in a semi
-circle in the hairpin. Floor it at the mid-point. Stay to the far left
while climbing uphill so you can overtake the 5th car in the second jump.
The AI cars have better top speed than you so you are kind of helpless
in the back straight. The next right-right combo is interesting and should
be taken as a whole. Brake hard at the end of the straight and let the car
slide in a semi circle and only pick up the gas when you feel your slide is
The sharp right under the bridge is a good place for overtaking but as I
have said before, don't ram the AI car, and don't let the AI car ram you.
Be careful at the left-right chicane before the front straight. Stay with
traction at all time. You should have passed every single car except the
lead car by the end of the first lap.
After overtaking the lead car, there is some rear mirror checking and
blocking to be done because don't forget, your opponent can out-accelerate
you in the straight leading to the finish line.

15. Cote d'Azur
Submitted by stan394:
This mission seems to be easier than the previous ones. All your AI
opponents have inferior power. You can easily out-accelerate them in any
reasonable straight. So passing them is not a conern. All you need to do is
to make 3 clean laps and hit a certain time, because the lead car always
finishes at the same time.
The track is Cote d'Azur. It's a beautiful track based on the real formula
1 Monte Carlo track. Your car skids pretty easily and it has a tendency to
get sucked into the barrier somehow. So stay a bit further away from the
barrier. I can't really manage power sliding well so I usually slow the
car down in a straight line and then accelerate out of the corner to
minimize the skidding.
I find the downshift hint usually flashes too late, especially after the
tunnel approaching the tight chicane.
I was still down by 2 lengths after the final right hander but out-
accelerate the lead car in the final stretch to beat him by 0.497 seconds.

I cut through the grass in the last chicane leading to the final straight.

It's a pretty fun mission. Infineon Raceway (Sports), Audi A8 Race car,

It's quite hard to find a good line through the beginning uphill climb

for overtaking. Passing on the ultra-high speed esses in the second half

18. Sarthe II
Submitted by stan394:
Watch the demo in license S-15 first!!
This is by far the hardest mission. I spent a good 3 hours before beating
it. This mission is almost equivalent to getting silver (if not gold) in 3
straight tries in S-15, plus the complexity of overtaking at 200mph....
Your Nissan R92CP Race Car with 939HP is indeed overpowering the rest of
the fields, but the 32+ seconds deficit is almost too much to overcome. The
test venue is Circuit de la Sarthe II (the kinkless version). The course
looks incredibly narrow when you are traveling at 180+ mph.
Refer to http://www.racingcircuits.net/France/LeMans87.html about the name
of the corners.
Approaching the first chicane, brake much later than the downshift
indicator. Find a line so that you can brake once into gear 2 and
accelerate out of the chicane. For the esses, brake at the moment the red
indicator flashes and take the left-right at no lower than gear 3.
If you can't reach the first checkpoint on the Mulsanne Straight within
30.3 seconds from the lead car, you will probably not be able to pass the
5th car before the end of the straight. If you can't pass it before the
straight, it is very likely that you will lose too much time trying to
battle it in the Mulsanne 90-degree right hander. If you can't get within
27 seconds when you hit the checkpoint just after the corner, it's probably
time to restart.
The next section before Indianapolis is very narrow. Putting a tire on the
grass will throw you off spinning. I took the right bend before
Indianapolis at gear 4 (instead of 5) and Indianapolis at gear 2. Brake
early for Arnage and take it no lower than gear 2.
The next section is when the S-15 demo will really help. It consists of a
series of light bends (Porsche Curve, Maison Blanche) which can be taken at
relatively high speed, most of them at gear 4. If you are not familiar with
the timing of the curve enough, it's very easy to get thrown off in the
sand, or slow down too much.
The two Ford chicanes should be taken at gear 3 and gear 2 respectively. My
split times at the finish line are: +23.299, +11.984 and -0.176. I barely
took the lead car's inside at the last chicane (in fact, the right in the
left-right chicane, no less) at the last lap. So these splits are probably
the minimum requirement for beating this mission.

Tips submitted by Vilens40:
i don't know if you've heard about this already. but there are two
places that can cut off a good 6 seconds from each lap. when i finished
the sauber hadn't even crossed the finsh line and the last checkpoint i
passed i was nine seconds ahead and lead for the entire 3rd lap.
1.the S curve right before the DUNLOP overpass, shortly after the
starting line, just take the car straight over the dirt and aim for the
dunlop overpass. and race normally from there. a good start to a lap using
this method should get you a low 30 second split, before the hitting
the straightway.
2.continue to race normally until right before the finish line where
you will see a bunch of right angle turns. if you cut across the dirt
correctly it should put you directly back on the course through the
finish line. this alone should cut off 3 seconds.
WARNING:the results of using these shortcuts incorrectly could and may
result in a complete spin out or penalty so don't expect to win this
race on your first few tries even with the shortcuts. so good luck and
race hard.
19. Suzuka East
Racing lines are key in this mission. Brake early entering the turns. If
you wait too long to brake, the car has a tendency to lose grip and slide.
You need to make your moves during the S-curves, since you can't overpower
any of the cars on the straight. At some points during the esses, it may
prove easier, instead of braking hard, to just feather the throttle and put
two wheels in the grass to make passes. Cutting the last corner can also
help out a lot.
20. Tsukuba
This mission isn't that hard once you realize that you can brake A LOT
later than the other cars. You should be able to pass all of the cars
except the RX-7 and the NSX on the first lap. Just keep braking late and
taking the corners good and you should get by the NSX on the first or
second turn on the last lap.
Slipstream Battle
21. Nissan Cube
Submitted by Irving Serrano:
This race is pretty simple, just draft the first car in front of you, when
you are directly in back of him, right before you might hit him on the
corner, break free to the outside, keep it floored, you than have enough
speed to catch up to the next Cube. Follow the same line as him and keep it
floored, when your close break free. Repeat this and its fairly easy to win
the race.

Submitted by Irving Serrano:
Same basis as the other ones, stay in back of the van in front of you and

possible and follow the yellow line on the outside of the track for it is
the best one.
23. Nissan Skyline GT-R
In this mission, you start out a couple seconds behind a pack of four
Skylines, and about 13 seconds behind a sole Skyline. You have to utilize
drafting to catch up to the leader before the 3 laps runs out. The best
way to do this is draft going into the curve until you reach about 172-175
mph. Then 'leap-frog' in front of the cars. Since the AI doesn't adjust
to TRY to draft you, you'll need to look in your rear-view mirror to stay
directly in front of the AI cars. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T SLOW DOWN. The
pack will start to catch up eventually if you stay in line with them. Let
them pass you so you can draft them right back. This 'forced leap-
frogging' should let you catch the leader toward the end of the last lap.
DON'T let the leader draft you if you get in front.
Alternate strategy by Cybersk8er5000:
"Ok. From the start, draft the pack like you usually would. By the time you
get to the first turn, you should be up to 170-171 MPH, with the pack just a
little ahead. Keep going, and when you get to them, pass them at ~172-174
MPH. Now follow the outer yellow line, and by the end of the turn, you
shouldn't be any lower than 164. If you look behind you at this point, the
whole pack should be not far behind you. During the straightaway, just stay
on the outer yellow line at a steady 164-165 MPH. Near the end, if you keep
an eye out behind you, you'll see one of the Skylines break free of the rest
and draft you. Usually they go on the inside (left) so just smoothly steer
over to where you're right in front of them (your speed shouldn't change more
than 1 MPH), and they'll slam right into you. Usually this'll put you back up
to around 170-171 MPH.
Keep doing this on each straightaway, and on the final straightaway before
the final turn, one Skyline should draft you, with a second Skyline drafting
the first. Now just let the first one hit you, and then the second one, and
you should get launched forward to around 175 MPH. Halfway through the turn,
you'll start picking up the lead car's draft, and you'll pass them in no time
Split times (at the end/beginning of each lap) should be approx.: 6.7xx,
4.0xx, and -1.5xx at the finish line. Speeds on the straightaways should be
164 minimum MPH, and between 170 and 163 through the turns."

Submitted by Irving Serrano:
In this race, yet another slip stream with faster cars, follow the same
line THE OTHER CARS TAKE. It is imperative to stay behind them. Break out
too early and your screwed, break out too late and you get a 5 second
penalty. Relatively as easy as the rest.
1 Lap Magic
25. Z Showdown!
Submitted by stan394:
The 1-lap Magic missions begin. All cars start from the grid but at
different times. Your car always starts last. To compansate for the
handicap, you are usually given a much higher powered car. Catch the lead
car before 1 lap runs out. So far, mission 25 thru 29 have been relatively
easy. I guess that's because all you need is 1 good lap, instead of 3.
For mission 25, use a Nissan JGTC to catch a bunch of old Nissan's in Fuji
'80s, with a 35-second handicap. This one is very easy. I don't even know
the course yet. Taking corners too deep, not knowing when to turn, all kind
of mess... although there are only like 3 corners where you really need to

Submitted by stan394:
This one is giving me a bit of trouble. Needed about 15 tries. Similar
to 25, use a Honda JGTC to catch a bunch of old Honda's within 1 lap in
Suzuka, the whole course, with a 90-second handicap. The lead Honda S500
will run a 3:30 lap so you are left with 2 minutes.
The JGTC skids more than I expected so it took me some time to get used to
it. But you know, to retry, you need to wait for 1.5 minute every time.
The first half of the right-handed hairpin needs no braking. The esses need
almost no braking as well. Just let off the gas from time to time to
control the car. My split time after the Degner Curve is +52.798s. The best
I got is about +52.1.
The 130R left bend is giving me tons of headache. After a few tries, I
figure that I can get through it while maintaing full throttle. Next time
around, I was going full speed into the bend and BAM!! Heads right into the
butt of the 3rd AI car, which, given the speed difference, is essentially
stationary on the track. OK. Next time if I can get through the earlier
section faster, maybe I can avoid him. But no, BAM!! right into his butt
again. After the 3rd crash, I concluded that I am running an almost
identical first 2 sections so there is no way I can avoid the car except to
slow down.
Finally settled with: slow down by letting off gas slightly to enter the
bend and then steer really hard to get on the 3rd AI car's left side. But
that's not the end of the story, I still need to figure out the chicane (I
cheat by cutting through the grass in mission 16). I decided I am not going
to cheat this time. Still need a few tries to clear it cleanly.
And during those unclean run at the chicane, I come flying down the
straight with the 2 old cars in sight, but miss the finish line by 0.046s
and another 0.05x. what the...

27. Mazda Showdown!
For this race, you need to take really good lines entering and exiting the
corners. You should be able to pass the RE Amemiya RX-7 before the turn
before the corkscrew(I hope that made sense). Speed coming out of the
turns is key for this challenge. Also, the 787B that you're using is very
light so it is possible to brake later than the flashing gear # suggests.
You should be about 33 seconds behind at the first checkpoint. The CPU
cars will get in your way a lot on this test, so try to time your passes on
straights(to avoid 5 second penalties). You should come up on the 4th
place car just after the corkscrew(you should see it before entering the
corskscrew). Don't go through the 'screw too fast or you risk ramming this
car and getting a 5 second penalty. You should be able to pass the 3rd
place car before the final left turn. On the final turn, make sure you
take a good line to maximize your speed coming out of the turn. I don't
know if drafting such slow cars will help or not. The first place car is
extremely slow compared to the 787B, so even if it is really close to the
finish line, you still may be able to catch it.

Submitted by Rezillo:
Driving Mission 29 takes place at Infineon Raceway. Make sure you know this
track very well, and have practiced it with a car of considerable pace. The
first split of the track seems to be the most important (i'm starting to
see a trend here). So, once you're off after the 44 second wait, accelerate
'round the bend and up the hill to "exactly" the middle of the apex curb on
the left side. Jam on the brakes, down into 2nd gear, and hard on the gas
for the right hander. Exit speed of this corner should be somewhere near
80mph while shifting into 3rd gear. The next corner, at the bottom of the
hill just as you reach the curb, brake agian, then quickly back on the
throttle and stay on the gas as you tab the brake once for the up hill
right hander. Here you will recieve your split time, and it should be no
more than 31.300 behind the lead car. If so, start over. Next few corners
are fairly easy, and coming out of the long "horseshoe" curve, you should
be coming ONTO the straight over 110mph. Now you should be catching the
5th place car pretty quick, make sure you pass him on the right hand side.
After which jam on brakes just as you get on the "brake marks" on the road.
Coming out of the hairpin, and before the first of the esses, you should be
passing the 4th place car. Going threw the esses, stay in 4th gear, only
tapping the brakes to slow for them. Your split time here should be no more
than 14.200. Now pass the 3rd place car on the right side of the long left
hander. Then, 4th gear on the gas, tap the brakes for the right hander.
Take this corner at at least 125mph. Coming up to the last hairpin, you
will see the 2nd place car. Catching up to him, pass him on the right side,
and then at "exactly" the 2nd cone slam on the brakes. Take the hairpin in
second gear. Now race to the finish line. Thats all the hardest, and most
important explained. Good Luck

The Subaru Impreza is very easy to drive. Excellent traction, good brakes

Submitted by Whiplash:
There isn't much room for mistakes on this one (if any?). Make sure not to
skid around. The Lotus Esprit suffers from understeer. Braking and turning
early is the way to go on this one. Wait until you've past the apex to
accelerate and this will be easy. Being too quick on the accelerator will
result in loss of traction and loss of time. Braking and turning at the
same time might be scary as the engine is mounted behind (MR car). The rear
end might kick out a little but just be cautious and it will come back. Try
to get a lot of slipstream on the final right corner to get maximum speed
towards the finish line.

learned where the important parts of Nürburgring are. Where you can gain
time and keep a good average speed is essential for this one. When you've
done Gold time in S-16 (or very close to it) you should know where these
parts of the track are. Take all the knowledge, experience and skill that
you've gained during S-16, think it over, crunch it and the FORGET IT!!
There's no use for it, except for remembering the track and the bumps.
Different braking points and way different traction is what you will face
If there's anyone who says that the Mercedes SLR McLaren is a sports car is
a liar. What a piece of sh*t to drive. Brakes are pretty good and that's
about it. The car is so instable that even half would be more than enough
to drive you mad. Touch the grass and you will spin, touch the kerbs while
braking and you will go off, brake a little too late and a massive
understeer will occur, hit a bump and the car will jump half a meter and be
uncontrollable when you land. If you read the leading text for the mission
it will say this: Your SLR McLaren fitted with sports tires will feel like
a fish out of water!!! How true is that!!!

6h.POWER/WEIGHT RATIO RANKINGS (GTPOW)
*This part of the FAQ was created in conjunction with Mike Wood from AB,
The list is sorted by drivetrain, in descending order(the lowest power/weight
ratios first). This list is no where near complete so PLEASE don't e-mail me
saying that I left off certain cars. Also, some of the numbers may be a tad
off(especially the stock numbers). This is due to a small discrepancy
involving oil changes.
*To get the power:weight ratio for each car, divide the car's weight by its
power(ie. weight/power). The units for this list is kilograms/horsepower.
The format for the list is:

In Arcade Mode you can race on any of the tracks that you have unlocked against
a 2nd player or against 5 AI cars. You can use a select number of cars from
each manufacturer plus the BASE model of any car that you have in your garage.
There are minor tuning options available(tune ASM and TCS levels), plus the
ability to switch tires. You can also change the difficulty before each race.
If you don't like the base model's power, you can adjust the horsepower either
way by 20%.
*In two player battle, you cannot use TCS or ASM.
Photo Travel is one of the new modes in Gran Turismo 4. You can take your car
to a location and position it along with the camera/camera angle to take a
dramatic shot of your vehicle.
*Your current vehicle will be the one that you can take pictures of. To take
pictures of a different one, you need to switch cars in the garage.*

General Info (Map)
On the Map screen in Photo Travel, your car is represented by a red icon, while
the camera is a blue icon.
The red and blue areas on the map are where the car and camera can be moved,
Select the car/camera with X and use the left analog to move them.
If an exclamation mark appears, then the car/camera cannot me moved to that
Use the the right analog to rotate your car to the desired angle.
General Info (Camera)
The camera is always positioned at 45-degrees in front of the car.
The camera must always be moved in conjunction with the vehicle.
You can change the cropping of the photo between horizontal/vertical with the
icon in the upper right corner of the camera display.
There are bars showing the zoom level and aperture - when the photo subject is
still and everything else is out of focus/blurry; think af a picture of
wildlife where the background is blurry, the pics of a street at night when all
the cars turn into blurs of headlights, or a picture of an athlete where he/she
is the only discernable object. That is the effect of low aperture. A high
aperture is like taking a normal photo. (Basically, aperture is how much light
the camera lens lets in, and a higher setting allows you to utilize a faster
shutter speed.)
At the bottom of the screen is a row of photo shooting screen options(more on
this later). Here you can change filters, focus, etc.
Adjusting the Camera
On the Camera display are buttons for Camera Direction, Camera Tilt, Camera
Position, and Camera height. Use these to move and adjust the camer to get the
perfect angle.
Photo Shooting Screen Options
The first button is for adjusting the steering angle of your car up to 30
degrees to either side(thanks to VampireHorde's FAQ for this info).
The second button is for changing filters.
The third is Photo Mode option.
Photo Mode option lets you change the image resolution, focus, screen aspect
ratio, and shutter sounds.
Press the 'shoot' button to take the photo. The image will then be switched to
a full screen view.
You can now press circle to save the photo, or use R1/L1 to zoom in and out.
Or you can press the Square button to go back.
This section is designed to help some players who don't know much about tuning
cars in Gran Turismo 4. I will provide some general tuning tips as well as a
few presets that can be used in various situations. These are in no way
'professional' or 'the best' setups possible, but they are some things that I
found to work in this game based on trial and error.
*On the settings screen there is a scroll bar at the bottom that describes what
each part/adjustment does*
9a.GENERAL TUNING INFO (GTGEN)
Downforce - First of all, disregard anyone that says that wings are 'ugly' or
'ricey', they are one of the most important upgrades to a car.
Equipping them enables you to use downforce. Changing the
downforce of your car will enable you to alter most of the
properties of it such as: acceleration, top speed, handling
characteristics, braking, etc.
Gear Ratios - This seems to be the area where players are having the most
trouble. At first, the gear ratio setting screen can be
intimidating with all the different gears' numbers and such, but
once you get the hang of it, this will be one of the first things
you want to adjust. Using the gear ratios can change your car
into a 300 mph Test Track monster or a touring car clone capable
of tight lines through the Nurburgring.
Suspension - Tuning your suspension can make your car able to handle turns at
higher speeds. It can also let you change your car's oversteer
or understeer properties.
Weight Reduction - This is always my first upgrade. Reducing the weight of
your vehicle will enhance every single aspect of it.
Tires - Remember, as the tires are the only part of the car that touches the
ground, they have the potential to affect it .
