1.INTRODUCTION (GTINT)
======================
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.

3.DRIVING MECHANICS (GTMEC)
===========================
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
manual.
==============================================================================
=====================
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
times.
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
drift.
==============================================================================
======================
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.

6.GT MODE CAREER (GTMOD)
========================
This is the main mode of Gran Turismo 4. You start a career at Day 1 and race
to earn money and fame so you can buy/win better vehicles to . . . . race some
more.
This is the meat of the game in the Gran Turismo series. You start out with
10,000 credits for which to purchase your first car. You must pass license
exam tests to be able to participate in most of the events. There is also a
tuning shop and used car lots in addition to car dealerships.
To transfer 100K credits or passed B and A license exams from GT3, go to
Home------>Status and press start.
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
adjustments.
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.
MINI ONE '02
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
semicircle.
Mazda MX-5 Miata J-Limited (NA, J) '91
Bronze Time: 0'16.600
Silver Time: 0'15.500
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.
BMW M3 CSL '03
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
version.

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
here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
okay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IA-3 - Guide to Chicanes: 1
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.

IA-7 - Tackling Complex Corner Sequences: 4
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.

IA-8 - City Street Challenge: 3
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.

Coffee Break 4 - Cones - Gymkhana
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.

IA-9 - City Street Challenge: 4
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.

IA-10 - 1 Lap Guide Run (Fuji Speedway 2005)
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.

IA-11 - Competition dirt racing: 2
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.

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
straight.

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
speed.

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
it.

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
