veryone is touting this as Sega's answer to Sony's Grand Turismo. Is it? The short answer, No. This game is not a replacement for Grand Turismo. However it destroyes any and all current racing sims for the Dreamcast! On its own without any expectations, this game holds its own. It is one of the CLEANEST looking racing games out there! The detail on the cars alone puts to shame many of Dreamcast's own titles. Well on to the guide! Comments or questions to be directed to [email protected] Guide & CG by: Dan Uyeno WHERE TO START Where to Start Drivers-ED Drive Types License Carlist Tracks/Races VMU Mini Game Cheats and hidden stuff Bugs and Other Oddities Where to start? Well let us begin here. Above is your navi bar/list this will help in your navigation of the GT web. Now the first thing you may want to do is get racing! You will want to blow that 10,000 on a cheesy car. Well DO NOT. You will be limited to a very few tracks. Read up on my Drivers ED and Drive Types sections! Then head right over to the licenses part of the game and get your license! This area is broken into different sections from Extra to SA class. You must go in order, from Extra class to SA class. It is hard in some areas but keep at it. If you get first in time, you can race that car in the Works Cup. If you complete all of the works cups then you get a Subaru STI Impreza WRX 4WD tuned by STI. Now you can either finish all of the licensing or get one then compete in all of the races related to that license class. It is up to you. The final goal in the game it for you to compete in the W.S.K. Cups and to build a Carrozzeria car. Some races will limit entry to only Carrozzeria cars! Another "get going fast" tip is to enter the Arcade area and clear out the races there. You need no license to enter. Clear all of these and get a treat. Tip the Harder races seem easier! I cleared these first then tackled the easier levels. Drivers ED! [ Where to Start | License | Drivers-ED | Drive Types | Carlist | Tracks/Races ] [ VMU Mini Game | Cheats and hidden stuff | Bugs and Other Oddities ] Here is where I tell you how to drive.... Well at least I think... First, there are two setups for the Arcade part of this game. The first is a "grip" style the second is "drift" style. Keep in mind you can drift without the drift option the game gives you. Use the parking brake (emergency brake) to will lock up the rear tires. This allows the rear of the car to swing around, thus sharpening up the steering. NOTE the regular brake in this game does the opposite it kills the steering. On some cars, you will lose all steering input. I avoid the regular brake unless I need to slow the car on a straightaway or, if I need to straighten out the car in a turn. Something to remember is an object in motion will always continue in the path of least resistance. That path being in a straight line. Sharp movements will kill your speed. Keep it smooth and clean. Our first lesson, a basic and simple curve. As you enter the turn, you need to be near the far side of the road as seen in Fig.1. Then you shortcut the turn by going to the innermost area near the turn’s sharpest point Fig.2. As you reach the apex of the turn, you swing outward to the outer side of the track Fig.3. This technique allows for the fastest turn and helps grip by reducing the lateral forces on the car and it is tires. This works unless the turn is large enough for you to pass on the inside without slippage or drop in speed. This works for the drifting style too. (Mash the parking brake and adjust it to suit while negotiating the turn.) Just keep in mind the nose of the car is the marker, and to counter steer on the apex of the turn or you will swing rearward to the inner side of the track. The second lesson is a sharp 90% turn. Here you use a similar style but you need to over compensate the turn to keep from hitting the outer wall from the force of the turn. See figs 3& 4. This corner can be taken like the above in a drifting style. Just follow the rules for lesson one, and watch out for the inner wall. Keep your car pointed to the apex or exit of the track or you will hit the inner wall.

Lesson 3 is a different route than lesson 2 this plan of attack needs more precision and finesse. You need to judge your speed and know just how much your car can take while under load. You can easily lose it in Fig.2. Drifting this lesson is the best route. You can see by Fig.3 that the curve is like a hairpin but you need to counter steer to keep off the wall and keep your speed up. This technique is best used in the most severe 90% like in the Snowy Mountain track. Lesson 4 the lopsided hairpin. This type of hairpin will destroy most drivers. Especially if taken in reverse of my sample. As you enter the turn, you must be on the outside of the track. Then short cut it to the inner wall.(see Fig.2) Then as you exit (Fig.2) you need to cut tightly and swing out to Fig.3. As you pass Fig.3 you need to head to the center of the track or the gradual curve will cause you to rub. Remember smooth movement = speed. Sharp movements will kill your momentum. I would avoid drifting this type of hairpin since the curve is inconsistent and hard to judge. It is not impossible though.

Lesson 4 the tightening hairpin. This is most common on the Sky Peak Hill course. It follows the same style as the first hairpin but since the curve is consistent and pinches on entry and exit, you must watch the momentum of you car on exiting this type of turn. Observe how you must continue your curve from Fig 3-4. If you straighten after Fig.3 the wall will come out and bite you.

S-curves, these can be nasty or easy. I have two basic ones. There are others with varying curves but all are just combinations of the above curves. This one here is quite simple. This is the quintessential use all of the road available to you! Notice the line of travel is almost straight. This cuts down on time and momentum killing lateral force. No drifting needed here!

This is a harder curve it is essentially two 90s connected together. You enter this curve like you do for a 90% turn. At Fig.3, you need to continue around the curve to get to Fig 4. If this is not done you will hit the inner wall of the turn and spin out or T-bone the wall. The rest is just like exiting a tight 90% turn. DRIVE TYPES

[ Where to Start | License | Drivers-ED | Drive Types | Carlist | Tracks/Races ] [ VMU Mini Game | Cheats and hidden stuff | Bugs and Other Oddities ] Drivetrains and their characteristics....

I will give you a basic idea on how these types of cars handle. By no means, ignore a car because of its drive train. Any problems that are inherent in a chassis can be to an extent be tuned out with modification of the suspension or engine. Tires can make a big difference in how a car behaves. Remember the car, as a whole is not just the engine! I recommend you try all of these drivetrain types out at least once. Then work on the one you like the best.

FF= Front engine, Front Drive. FF your most common layout. This layout tends to understeer at high speeds and extreme steering angles. Understeer is where the car continues straight when you have the steering to the full left or right. This is due to the drive wheels being the same as the steering wheels. You are pulling not pushing in this layout. So getting the rear to follow where you want to go is difficult. This is where the drifting technique comes into play. You use the parking brake, which locks the rear wheels and allows them to swing around the car. This allows you to get some steering from the rear of the car. There is another technique of using the brakes but this does not work in this game. Any braking during cornering with ANY of the vehicle types kills the steering. The vehicle will immediately straighten up. This type of drivetrain will corner with braking before the turn. Another trick is if you are at half throttle during a turn and need more steering, gunning the engine and dropping a gear will cause the car to cut in better. I have not tried this to see if it works well since I have found the parking brake easier to use around most of the tighter turns. FR= Front engine Rear drive. FR you will find this in the higher displacement cars. Most American makes will have this set up. This setup is the opposite of the FF cars. In corners, you will tend to oversteer the corner. The rear of the car is overly prone to swinging out and causing a spinout with you pointing straight at the side of the track... Tapping the brake will straighten the turn if you get too deep in the turn. Letting off the gas is the better idea, as too much braking will make your situation worse! Down shifting, will slow you safely with out breaking the rear lose as drastically as yanking on the steering. This type of car tends to get up to speed faster than any of the other types. This is due to the weight transfer of the chassis. As the car accelerates, the weight is transferred to the rear of the car where the drive wheels are and thus you get more traction. F4WD Front engine 4 wheel drive. F4WD is seen in European and Japanese cars most often. Its main trait is the unequaled handling characteristics given all the wheels have driving force. This drive type is poor in the acceleration area, since the engine has to drive the tranny and both the front and rear wheels robbing torque and horsepower. These cars are by far the most fun in the corners. There is nothing like a Skyline V-spec doing a four-wheel drift around a hairpin! This type of drive train is the most balanced of the cars. Since both the front and rear are driven. The car acts like it is on a rail it goes where pointed. Pass as many cars in the corners and do not let them pass on the straights! In this game braking seems to affect this chassis the same way as all of the other cars. Keep with the parking brake and counter steer at the apex of the turn to keep from swapping ends. MR= Mid engine rear drive. MR applied mainly to roadsters and small cars where passengers and cargo are of no or little importance. These cars weight wise are the most balanced since the engine hangs not over the front but just behind the driver. With this, you get the closest 50/50 split in weight. This weight distribution is really important to handling neutrality. A neutral car neither oversteers or under steers. The only problem is momentum since the engine is near the drive wheels if you push it the rear will swing like a FR car. However, if you know the limits of these cars they are the fastest around the tracks. Power is the only defining limit. The NSX is one of the only high horsepower cars to use this set up. Therefore, a Skyline GTR or Mustang will smoke most of these cars in pure power. These cars are a trick to learn. Enjoy! Licensing [ Where to Start | License | Drivers-ED | Drive Types | Carlist | Tracks/Races ] [ VMU Mini Game | Cheats and hidden stuff | Bugs and Other Oddities ] Cars are in order that they appear in the game's list. This page is for quick reference. Pass any one of the tracks in the different classes and it will grant you a license for that class. Pass any one with the "best" time you will win that car and can enter the Works Cup Races. Beat all classes with best time and you will get a Subaru STI Impreza WRX 4WD. The licenses are a bit hard. However, just pick a track that best reflects your driving style and keep at it. It takes practice and is doable. Getting the "best" score is another thing.

If you can manage a first in time on any of the licenses, you then get a treat! The car you used is your prize. Take this car whatever it may be and race it in the class it qualifies in. Now remember there are stock classes and many levels of modification. Go for the stock classes at first. I.E. do not mod your car. Yes, you have 10,000 to start with but if you win a few of the lower class races this will boost your money and some races will not allow modified cars enter. With each race, you will earn money. You also have pole position bonuses and a championship bonus. Build this up until you can either mod up your car or get a better one. Or you can cheat see the cheat page. Oh when you see the term Original car in the game it is referring to the Carrozzeria cars. You must build one to compete in those races. There is more on that later in the guide.

Ok like you need help with this! After you go through the up loading of the game to your VMU, it is like a Digital pet. You must train, rest, and work your little race car driver. If you do not watch out he will get sick and go to the hospital! First off you need to chose what version of the game you want America, Europe, Japan. Each has slight differences. The jobs and training the driver does change depending on the version of choice. There are 6 races each with 30-day intervals. You can up-load the game back into GT and use the money you have earned and cars that are in your storehouse. The two cars in the storehouse need to be earned by winning a race. (This is what I have been told) Here is a break down of the menus in the GT Pocket

(World Speed King) Races You need to complete all of the Official races and Event races to unlock the first ending sequence and the W.S.K. Races. The WSK Races are Front Drive Car Cup, Rear Drive Car Cup and 4 Wheel Drive Car Cup. Cheats Money cheat This cheat requires two separate memory cards/VMUs. Buy a car then save your game on both VMUs. Then send the car from one VMU to the other VMU. Then load the game from the VMU you moved the car to and sell the extra car. Do this till you have enough to get a NSX or a Viper (the most expensive cars in the game). Buy the car then save to the second card trade to the high money card. Load it then save it to the second card then send another NSX or Viper to the first card. Then do it all over again till you have a load of those cars then sell them all off!! Save cheat Get on the net with your Dreamcast web browser V2 and download a saved game from a web... Somewhat stupid huh? However, I know some may not think of this! You could buy a game shark too but that is cheating! Bugs and other Oddities [ Where to Start | License | Drivers-ED | Drive Types | Carlist | Tracks/Races ] [ VMU Mini Game | Cheats and hidden stuff | Bugs and Other Oddities ] Bugs Sometimes your replays will not, well they will not replay right. The car will hit a wall and sit there doing odd things.... Like going the wrong way etc. What happened is the settings were slightly off and the antics your car is performing are your actions, but since the car is not where it should be it does some crazy stuff! Do not worry if you save the replay it will play back normally. This is a rare occurrence. It only happened 4 times during my game play. Given I rarely did any replays, mostly during 2 player or when I had a good battle with some other cars. On certain tracks with Carrozzeria cars, the car will pull drastically to one side. This sequence is not repeatable. It happens randomly! I have yet to determine if it is suppose to be the wind or not. I chalk it up to being a random bug. I consider this one a bug. When using the digital controls there is a bad delay in response with the car. This is also evident in some cars with the Analogue controls. The latter is most noticeable in the larger displacement cars. (Carrozzeria cars with small chassis and big engines do this too). Do's and Don'ts Do not use the common smack the car in front then pass. This does not work! All it does is kill speed and slam you into a wall. Do not hit anything and then counter steer. This game is flawed with the same poor analogue feel as the before mentioned Top Gear Rally. Hit a wall and I can almost guarantee you will hit the other side. Then its ball wall time! A light finger is a must! No ham fisting! I found the digital achieves faster lap times. The drawbacks are the Digital control has a VERY slow response time and during some turns, the "pulsing" technique will affect the handling of the car. Do not go into the sand! You have no quick way out! Be it full throttle or just easing out, it is all just as slow. Do not try to follow the lines of the other cars. This will only get you into trouble! Do brake early, real early don't rely on your brakes to help swing you around a corner you must brake in a straightaway, turn, then gas it. If you brake during the turn, your car goes in a straight line. You will lose all steering input. This does not matter which driveline you chose. Do try to get past a car that is troubling you. When on the straight get him to rear-end you squarely. This will cause him to lose tones of speed. As soon as he hits you, gas it! You will never see that car again! Do keep an eye out in the rear view mirror! Those cars you should not hit or push around will hit you! However with different consequences! If they tag you in a turn or get you just right, you will end up hitting a wall.
