The game will then tell you about its auto save feature. Select "OK". It then tells you about the flashing save icon. Select "OK". The game then tells you about not removing the memory card when the flashing save icon is flashing. Select "OK". Follow the next steps very carefully. The game tells that you can utilize a game save from Gran Turismo 3. It then asks if you would like to see details. Select "OK". You are told that you can transfer credits (up to 100,000).

At the bottom of the status screen you will see (Square) return and (Start) transfer game data. Press Start, first making sure that your Gran Turismo 3 data in now in slot one. You will be asked if you want to transfer game data. Select "OK" Be careful, as you can only do it once. If you make a mistake, you will have to start from the beginning.

Faster credit reward screen:
Hold L2 to load the credits faster. For example, when you win a 45,000 credir reward, holding L2 will make it load much faster. Doing this trick on a 10,000 credit prize will make the numbers disappear completely off the screen in about one second.

At the places where you can buy your cars (for example, BMW), you can find races that use a certain model of that dealer. This will unlock some of the bonus cars you cannot normally buy or win in a race. The cars that you get are very fast, and you can sell them for a decent price.

You can win different cars from series races that you have already completed. For some series, you are given the option if you would like to clear your current records. If you do this, you can race those courses over again to win another prize car.

Hint: Racing without the required licenses:
If you have obtained all your licenses except for the S License, you can still participate in S License races. Enter the race with the correct requirements for the race in B-Spec mode. You will still earn the prize car and the credits.

Enter the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32 into the Cost Di Amalfi race. Do both races forwards and backwards. This should only take about ten minutes with the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32. When you complete this event you will be rewarded with the 2002 Toyota Rsc Rally Raid Car, which has a selling price of 265,624 credits. Sell the 2002 Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car and enter the Cost Di Amalfi race again with the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32. You will be asked if you want to "Clear Records" from your previous races. Select "Clear" as your option. Enter the races again. Win both races and you will be rewarded with another 2002 Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car. Keep doing this repeatedly to get as much money as possible in the least amount of time. Within one hour you could have up to 1,650,000 credits. Keep returning here as your credits run out. Also, you will get an extra 10,000 credits for taking first place on both Costa Di Amalfi races. Also, the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32 can be entered into quite a few races very early in the game, so you do not have to waste your credits buying other cars.

Win a Chevy Chevelle SS 454 '70 from the American Muscle Car Championship (using a suped up Ford Mustang '05 recommended). Add a stage 2 or 3 engine setup then a supercharger to get 600 to 700 hp. Take it to the Classic Muscle Car championship and race using B-Spec. You can get a fast 10,000 credits because the race is only two laps (Laguna Seca recommended). Repeat this as many times as desired.

This trick requires some time. Once you can do it, this trick will give you over 890,000 credits in about ten minutes. You must have the IA license and the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car. To get this car, you must acquire or buy any Mercedes-Benz car that will be fast enough to win the Legend of the Silver Arrow competition (go to Germany, then Mercedes-Benz, then One-make races to find the Legend of the Silver Arrow event). Winning the Legend of the Silver Arrow competition will give you the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car. Once you have the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car all the way fixed up to its maximum and the IA license, you are ready to start the trick. Enter the Deutsche Touring Car Meisterschaft Series race in the European Events. There are five races in this competition: Opera Paris, Mid-Field Raceway, High-Speed Ring Reverse, Nurburgring Nordschieife, and Fuji Speedway. You will not be doing any of the racing yourself, as you will instead use the B-spec Director's Mode on all five races. When you are ready to start the first race in the series, activate B-Spec Director's Mode. The race will now begin, and you will see the numbers one through five at the top of the screen. Press D-pad Right(2) so that it is highlighting the number "5", which signifies "Push" (the car will go as fast as it can). Once "5" is highlighted, press Triangle to put the car in overtake mode. Now that "5" and the little symbol next that number at the top of the screen are both highlighted, you are all set. Press R1 so that you are in Monitor Mode. While in Monitor Mode, hold L1 and press D-pad Right(2) so that the race will go by three times as fast. Do the same exact thing for all five races. It should take about ten minutes for all five races because you are in B-Spec mode. You should finish in first place always if done correctly. After all five races you will have 75,000 credits for being first place, plus an additional 75,000 credits for being the overall champion of the series event. On top of those 150,000 credits, you will also be rewarded the Mercedes CLK-GTR Race Car, which you can sell for about 743,000 credits.

Get a good rally car. It does not need any special tires. An Evo 8, MR is recommended. Then, go to the Special Conditions Events. Go to the second race in the event, known as the Capri Rally. It is fairly easy, but you need a A-Spec: National License. Once you win both races, you will get a Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car that can be sold for 265,624 crredits. You can then go back into the same race, clear all your records, and win the car again.
Adam Moyer.

This trick requires two memory cards. Use the first memory card and buy good car for 10,000 credits or under. Trade the car to the other memory card and buy upgrades for it. Delete the block on the first memory card and restart so that you get 10,000 credits again. Trade it back to memory card one and repeat the process.
Justin Time.

This trick requires two memory cards. Save your game onto memory card one. Turn off the game. Then, turn it back on and load the game that was saved on memory card one. Next, save your game onto memory card two. Gain 5,000 credits. To do this, have enough money to by a car with at least 100 hp. Go to Easy and win the Sunday Cup's Super Speedway five times. Winning the race in first place is very easy. Rev the engine, and when it says "Start", do not get in the pack. Instead, stay to the left and you will finish in first in thirty seconds. After making 5,000 credits, sell the car that you raced in the Super Speedway. Buy a Stage 4 Turbo Kit (or the highest one available) for your new car. Save the game onto memory card one. Load the game from memory card two. You will have over 500,000 credits. This trick takes about thirty minutes.
Foxraw11ooo.

Start the game with 110,000 credits (from Gran Turismo 3), then buy a Viper or any other fast car. Win the first special race. You should obtain the Cadillac Cien. Use this car to win the second special race. You should be awarded with a rally car worth 236,000 credits. Sell this car and keep repeating this process for easy credits.

Do the A and B Licenses. Select the car of your choice and go to Special Conditions. Go to the second one on easy (Capri Rally).Win both of the races and you will be awarded a Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car, which is worth 265,624 credits. Keep one of the cars yourself, clear your records when prompted, and win the Toyota again.
Luke Whetton.

When you first start the game, go to the License Center and get the International B License. Then, get the best car you have and go to the Special Condition races. Win as many as needed to unlock concept, rare and very expensive cars. You can sell the Toyota Rally Raid car for about 265,000 credits. However you can keep it if desired and race in the dirt and snow events with it. Sell all the cars that you do not need.
Carlton Wilson.

Buy a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and do the standard modifications (flywheel, stage 1 turbo, brakes, etc.). Then, go to the Japanese Manufacturers and race the Mitsubishi Evolution series. All of the tracks are very quick, fairly easy, and pay out 2,000 credits for first place and 1,000 credits for second place. Practice as much as desired for a few extra thousand credits. After you get all Golds, you will be rewarded with the 70's model Lancer that sells for over 30,000 credits.
truepimpshit.com.

Go to Special Condition Events and race in the Capri Rally (easy). If you win, you will get the Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car. You can sell it for 265,624 credits. However, keep that car at first to make it easier to win the same race again.
CMishefske.

Get the SLR Mclaren and tune it up. Go to the Mercedes event and win Legends Of The Silver Arrow to get a touring car as an award. Win several of these then sell them at 116,000 credits each. Save one four yourself and enter the Touring Car Championship in the European Events. Win it to get a CLK GTR car worth 743,000 credits.
lclazell.

Enter The Vette! Vette! Vette! And do all the races. You will get a race car Corvette that is worth about 106,000 credits. Enter again and clear the races. Win it again and on top of te 50.000 credit prize, you will be awarded the same car again. Repeat this as desired for as much money as desired.
Dcarnys.

When you first start out the game, go to the Used Car Showroom 2 and buy a 1997 Civic Type R (ek). Give it more horsepower with the extra money you have, with a racing chip and an oil change. Go to One Make races in Honda. Go to the Type R races when you get your license and keep racing until you get enough money to buy a turbo kit. Then, go back and keep doing this until you have a lot of horsepower. Win all five races and at the end, you will have obtained 25,000 credits and a prize car worth 95,000 credits. You can keep doing this until you get enough to get a 1999 Skyline. Trick it out and go to the Japan races. Race the 90's Series and win all the races. You get a Nissan 350Z. Trick it out and it will have 700 or more horsepower. Then, go to Japan races again. This time go to the Tournament. Do B Mode so you do not have to get the big license and put it on 5+overdrive and press R1. When you are in this mode hold L1 + Right to win all the races. You will get another 350Z. When you trick this one out, it will have over 900 horsepower.
Doug Flinner.

Once you have transferred your license and credits from Gran Turismo 3, buy a Dodge Viper and equip it with a Racing Chip and Engine Balancing. Then, go to the Special Conditions events and enter the Capri Ralley. You should be able to easily win in the Viper. Win the rally four times, then buy and sup up a Mercedes Benz SLR Mclaren. Enter the Legend Of The Silver Arrow race to get the Mercedes Benz CLK Touring Car. After tuning the car up, go to the European Events and enter the fourth race in B-spec. After doing this, you will have 150,000 credits in prize money and a car that you can sell for 743,000 credits. If you do the race in race monitor mode, you can press R1 and Right(2) to make the race go by three times as fast.

After transferring your money from Gran Turismo 3, buy a Dodge Viper SRT 10. Tune it up as much as possible, then change the oil. This will give it about 60 hp. Then, buy a downforce wing and the 1.5 LSD. Set the downforce at 22 front and 28 rear. It is faster than the Gillet Vertigo, and if you are skilled, you can beat the Audi R8. Its top speed (with NOS) is about 440.

Upload your Gran Turismo 3 credits (A and B license and $100,000) and buy the HPS V-Dub in Tuner Village. Get your IB license and race Paris #2 (normal) in Special Condition races, once normal and once reverse for a total of six laps. Win both races and earn $20,000 ($10,00 per race) total and a Renault Maxi 5 Turbo rally car worth over 265,000 credits when sold. This results in a grand total of over 285,000 credits for only racing six laps. This is the quickest way to earn extra credits. Fix up your V-Dub to max it out and race a few more times. You can easily win the races after maxing the V-Dub out. Buy an EVO V '98 and upgrade it. Use it and the V-Dub to win almost any race.
Moose.

This trick can take some time, depending on how much money you want. However it is an easy and a good way to start the game with a good amount of money to buy a decent car. Start a new game on Grant Turismo 3 (if you already have a current game there with a good amount of money, then just leave it as is). Save the game without doing anything. Start Gran Turismo 4. Transfer the money from your Gran Turismo 3 saved game onto Gran Turismo 4. Start up Gran Turismo 3 again. Start a new game and repeat the process as many times as desired.
David Hills.

Hint: Easy A-Spec points:
Note: This trick requires the iB License. Go to "Driving Missions" and select the ninth one. You will be in a seemingly fast car taking a very fast turn. Instead of trying to overtake the opponent, simply stay dead behind him. When he goes to brake, ram him as hard as you can. Then, brake and take the corner smoothly and finish the race. This requires about 20 seconds, and you will get 250 points each time.
Batmanners.

Hint: Easy B-spec wins:
When you first start the race in B-spec mode, put it in "5" by pressing Right(2), and put it in overtake by pressing Triangle. If your car is better than the others, it will get in first place quickly. When it does, put it in "4" by pressing Left. Then, press R1 and speed the game up by holding L1 and pressing Right(2). The game will go three times faster. Do not press R1 or it will return to. Watch closely -- if you get in second place again you must put it in "5" again.
ben25gar1.

Hint: Race faster in B-Spec:
When you are in B-Spec mode, go to the race screen by pressing R1. Then hold L1. While you are holding L1, press Right(2) and the time will pass three times faster. You will have to stay in the race menu or it will go back to normal speed. You can also go two times faster by only pressing Right once but three times is faster. Note: When you pit it will go off the racing menu and you will have to do this again.
millerman6465.

In B-Spec mode of any race, the pace (1 to 5) has no effect on the main speed. The speed is only affected when the car turns. If it is 1, 2, or 3, the car will tend to go around the corner without wrecking or going off of the track. If it is set to 4 or 5, the car usually wipes out. If the car is fast enough, it will still probably do well. Pace 2 is recommended.

Hint: Extra horsepower:
Give your brand new car an oil change immediately when you get it (before driving it). It will usually gain between 5 to 30 hp.
kevin jackson and KiKito Romero Bebo.

Hint: Special rims:
The "Today's Special Rims" rotate every thirty game days. There are thirty different sets of rims. There are 439 total "Today's Special Rims". If you see a set you like, you will only see them every twenty nine game days -- buy them while you can.
Joe Whirley and Clayton Morin.

Hint: Recommended cheap car:
It is possible to get a very good car for only 14,000 credits. You will first need to transfer 100,000 credits from Grand Turismo 3. Go to the Used Cars, Late 90's section and hopefully there will be a Subaru Impreza there for just over 14,000 credits. Buy it, then take it directly to Subaru and tune it up as desired. If you have enough money remaining, go to the GT Auto center and its oil (to add about another 15 to 20 hp). Then, buy a new wing for it. You will now have a fast car and should have quite a bit of money remaining.
Carlton Wilson.

Hint: Recommended fast car:
Start by getting the A and B licenses without buying any cars. Use the Pontiac car and upgrade it until you are able to win the Capri Rally. Sell the reward car (260,000 credits) and buy a BMW M5. This will be your extremely fast car. Upgrade it with these upgrades: racing exhaust, both brake improvements, na tuning 1 and 2, port polish, racing chip, nos, triple clutch, racing flywheel,1.5 way limited slip, carbon driveshaft, fully customizable suspension, racing-medium tires, and all three weight reductions. It can easily win the Capri Rally (getting 150 in the straight), to buy you decent cars to get better A points. This car has about 700 HP.
Jeff Ismyname.

Purchase a Toyota Supra RZ From the secondhand car market from the late 90's,then go to the TRD modification shop, or a tuning house. Buy every horsepower mod for the car. Then, purchase the racing suspension, nitrous, and racing gearbox. Do not apply light weight. Then, go to the Top Speed Test and change the gearbox ratio to the last one (24). Change the final ratio by holding it down for six seconds, making the numbers smaller. Lower the car all the way for better wind resistance. If you can, get rid of as much downforce as possible. If you are not confident at driving at knockout speeds, increase the stability bar by two levels. Turn the traction control down to level one (it will wheelspin up to gear 3). Change the NOS timing to 40. Then, drive until you hit fifth gear. Blow all the NOS down the mouth of your engine, and get ready for a rush like no other. The will become difficult to handle. Make sure you can handle high speeds and hold the car steady around the corners. It is possible to reach 432 km/h with it.
PURPLEPATCHADV.

Transfer your data and money from Gran Turismo 3. When you start the game go to the American dealership. Go to the Dodge company and select "New Cars". Then, buy the Dodge Viper RT GT for about 84,700 credits. Then, go to the Dodge tune shop and buy (if desired) the level 2 NA Tuneup, level 2 Exhaust and Nitros. You can buy more parts if desired, but this will get your Viper to about 728 hp with great speed and acceleration.
jazzyfizzle 101.

When you start, buy a Mazda Miata or better car in the used car showrooms. Do not bother getting a license yet. Take your time and save up for a Tommy Kaira ZZ-S. Upgrade the car as you wish.Go to the Japanese events on the far right side, then scroll down to Compact Cup. Win that in B-spec mode, then win all races and get 25,000 credits. Next, buy a Camaro and upgrade as you wish. Before you drive it, get an oil change to raise the hp by 38. Then, go to the USA showroom. Go to the Chevy dealer and go to One-Make races. Go to Camaro Meeting. If your car is upgraded enough it will win. If not, switch to your ZZ-S and do the Compact Cup again. Win, switch to your Camaro, and buy more upgrades. When you win that, switch to your ZZ-S and win the Spider and Roadster competition. Sell the cars you won. Buy upgrades and do the MR and FR challenges. You can now buy upgrades for your Camaro and ZZ-S. If they are upgraded enough you can win the Clubman Cup in the Professional events.

Buy an Audi RS4 for 41,380 credits. Buy these extras: Suspension: Semiracing, Turbo sport intercooler, Fully customizable transmission, Triple clutch, 1,5 way LSD, dirt tires (add snow tires if desired), weight reduction kits: 1-2-3. Engine chip (purchase last to get extra 10 to 15 hp). The total cost will be 145,380 credits (without snow tires 122,880 credits), You now have a 4WD car with 400 HP and rally characteristics (2 minutes 15 seconds in Tahiti Maze).
The X Factor.

Go into the Mazda showroom. Buy an RX-8 and power it up. Take it to the Mazda events. Race it in the NRA-RX-8 cup. You win a race car worth about 100,000 credits. Sell your RX-8 and power up the race car. Keep racing in the same event and sell the other race cars that you win.
Floss ISEA.

Once you have completed enough races to enter the Endurance races, enter the El Capitan Race at the bottom. The race should be 66 laps. You are going up only against sports cars, such as Corvettes and Vipers. Almost any race car can win this race. For winning, you will get the Toyota Minolta Race Car. Tune this car with a Stage 4 Turbo and super hard racing tires and tune it somewhat. If you do not want it, sell it for 750,000 credits. Enter this car into the Nurburgring 24 Hour Endurance race. Once you win this race you will get the Polyphony Digital Formula 1 car, which can beat almost any car outside of endurance races. The Formula has unchangeable racing Medium tires, so it does not do well unless the races are about six laps or less.
Andrew Caudill.

This is an excellent way to start the game, get much money, progress, and thus unlock the endurance events. You can also get good cars in a very short time. First, get all the licenses so you can unlock some cars to compete. Go to the driving missions and complete them to get some cars. The car you really need is the Pagani Zonda LM Race Car (the black one). This car has extreme speed, marvelous brakes and turning, and can easily hold off most of the cars in the game. Next, go to the Special Condition Events and do all the events that are not dirt or snow. There are seven events in each difficulty (Citta di Aria, Costa di Amalfi, George V Paris and Tsukuba Wet), for a total of twenty one events. You do not need to sell the prize cars; just upgrade the most important ones. You should have enough money to buy a car and compete in the Sunday Cup in the Beginner Events. then, go to your garage and choose the best rally car you have (Lancia Delta S4 recommended). Buy the dirt and snow tires and go to the Special Condition Events. If you want to change tires, go to GT Auto and buy snow tires. You should get some good cars until the Cathedral Rocks Trail I Hard. By winning those two races, you will get the Suzuki Escudo Trial Race Car, which is a good car to use to win the other rally races. You should now have a high rated garage. Try to win the championships and the endurance races, which now should be easier. Use your tuned up cars every time and you should complete the game easily.
deepforest2009.

Hint: Recommended modifications:
The first mod that should done to any vehicle is a spoiler kit in the GT Auto department. They cost 1,200 credits and give the greatest value for the money. Choose the ones to the far right, as they have the greatest downforce characteristics. Most cars can get a kit installed. Save money and do not purchase a Stage 3 NA kit and a supercharger, as they cannot be installed at the same time. Also, when going for the turbo upgrades, look for a fifth kit called "Original". This is usually cheaper than Stage 4. If you have the money to get this straight away, it is better to do this first, as it does the job of Stages 1 to 3 combined, and then some. A recommended strategy for a broad spectrum of cars is (in order): spoiler, full custom gearbox, computer chip, full custom suspension, NOS, race exhaust, then start on the engines.
trob1179.

Hint: A-Spec points:
If you enter a race, and all the cars are very low end and you have a high end car, you will get very minimal A-Spec Points awarded and vice versa. For example, enter a 800 hp car into a race with the other five cars having between 200 hp to 300 hp. You will probably be awarded only 1 A-Spec Point if you win the race. Conversely, if you enter a 800 hp car in a race with five other cars that have between 750 hp to 900 hp, you will be awarded anywhere between 50 to 100 A-Spec Points.
Joe Whirley.

To get the most A-Spec points out of a race and still have an advantage over the rest of the field you are up against, do the following to your car. Equip the following: nitrous bottle, any type of transmission, any clutch, any flywheel, any limited slip configuration, the carbon driveshaft, racing brakes, the brake controller, any suspension configuration, the VCD controller, the increase rigidity option, and the rigidity refresher plan. You can also configure the "Auto" setting on the "Transmission" option under "Setting" without losing A-Spec points. Note: Do not do any weight reductions. This will cost you A-Spec points for every race and is irreversible. For example, if you start a race that is worth 108 A-Spec points, doing a Stage 1 Weight Reduction will cost you about 17 to 20 A-Spec points, bringing the total down to 88 to 91, and so on for Stages 2 and 3. If you have already done a weight reduction to the car that you are in, you can lower the quality of the tires currently equipped to bring the total back up to the race's original amount and/or more. However, lowering the tire quality greatly reduces the chances for success. For example, if you have S2 Tires equipped with a Stage 1 Weight Reduction and only get 84 A-Spec points for the race, try to drop the tire quality down to maybe a S1 or N3 tire to get more A-Spec points for that race.
Joe Whirley.

After earning some credits using the "Capri Rally" trick, buy a Dodge Ram pickup and equip it with every available modification, including the center differential controller set to about 30% torque to the front wheels. Select tires according to the race that you plan to enter, and lower the ride height as far as it will go. This will give you a 725 horsepower all-wheel-drive beast that handles fairly well and will earn you 125 to 200 A-Spec points in every race, even though the other cars in the race may be of much lower specification. This setup easily blew the doors off a Pagani Zonda C12 in the NA series under Professional Events as well as a few other cars that should, by simple laws of physics, be much faster.
Chad Patterson.

You can change how many A-Spec points you can receive by entering a single race, then exiting it by using the "Exit" command in the lower right hand corner of the screen, then re-entering it again. You should notice a change in the cars you are going against, and the amount of the A-Spec points awarded. The amount of A-Spec points will change each time you exit and re-enter the race, You could get more or less. It is possible to receive as low as 1 and as high as 200 A-Spec points for the same race, but against different cars. Unfortunately what you end up with is completely random. Keep entering and re-entering until you get a good amount of A-Spec points. The CPU cycles through different amount ranges, depending on the equality between the cars in the race. Remember not to change the car's hp; leave it stock. Also, do not do any weight reductions, port and polish, or engine balancing; once they have been installed they cannot be uninstalled. The tires can be stock or ones of lesser quality. This is key to getting the most A-Spec points out of any race.
Joe Whirley.

To get a lot of A-Spec points quickly, do the missions. Each of them will give you 250 points if you win.
Robert Ulatowski.

Hint: Speed up B-Spec races:
While in a B-Spec mode race, press R1 to switch to "Race Monitor". Hold L1 + D-pad Right and you can make the race go up to three times faster. The only downside is that you must stay on the Race Monitor screen in order to keep the race sped up. It will switch back to 1x speed when you go to "Broadcast View" mode.
KiKito Romero Bebo.

Hint: Apricot Hill: Fire:
Drive in reverse and get to the second turn before you start going downhill. Look directly over on the mountain side to see what appears to be grayish smoke coming up and blowing towards the right.
Jason Voorhees.

Hint: Missions Hall: Skyline GT-R Test course:
There are five opposing Skyline GTRs on the track. Straight at the start of the race, make sure you stay directly behind the GTR in front of you. It will block the wind and make you go faster, making it easier to catch up. When you enter the first turn, they will slow down. Go to the outside of the turn and pass them from the outside. You will then see the red GTR in the front. Keep going as fast as you can and hit it at full speed. You will get a five second penalty, but it will not bother you much. Hitting the red GTR will send it ahead of the pack. When the penalty is gone, get behind it and catch up to it, but do not pass it. Instead, get behind it and "push" it. Stay directly behind it all along the three laps. In the straights you should be able to reach 275km/h. Upon entering the very last turn of the race, go to the inside before the red GTR brakes, and stay to the inside of the turn. Do not go where it is flat; stay in the bent. Near the end of the last turn, you should be close enough. Get behind the yellow GTR and you should be able to catch up to it before crossing the finish line. This test is very difficult and may require a few attempts.
Jason Voorhees.

Hint: Nurburgring 24 Hour Endurance Race: Easy win:
Obtain the 2004 Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (the white and black car in the opening sequence) from the Professional Events-GT World Champion race (ten races totaling 136 laps on ten different tracks). Buy everything available for the car, most importantly the Super Hard Racing Tires (R1s). Set the Auto Transmission feature to a value of 18. Equip the R1 tires and get ready for at least twelve hours (of sped up time) of hell. You must do this race in B-Spec mode with the 2004 Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II in order to guarantee a long hard fought win within thirteen hours real time instead of twenty four hours real time. In B-Spec mode, you have the option to speed up the race by entering the Race Monitor Screen by pressing R1. Then, hold L1 and use the D-pad Left or D-pad Right to go from real time up to three times normal speed. At the beginning of the race, set the auto pilot to a value of 5 (Push) and turn the overtake feature on by pressing Triangle. Once you get ahead of the pack and have a decent lead, turn off overtake and set the autopilot to 2 (Cruise). You should only have to pit every three to four laps. Get everything every time that you pit (tires and fuel). Set the autopilot back to 2 (Cruise) once you leave the pit. Continue this strategy until the end of the race. This will net you a Formula One car.
Joe Whirley.

For an easy win in this event, you should first have a very good rally car. If you have the credits, max out whatever rally car that you have available. Once maxed, win both races in Cathedral Rocks: Trial 1. You will win the Suzuki Escudo Dirt Trial Car. Save the game and max out the Escudo. Buy super-hard tires. Go to Endurance Events. You will need 25% game completion. Go to the Nurburbring 24 Hour Event. When you arrive at the race menu, do any setting adjustments desired. Then, select B-Spec Directors Mode. When the race starts, set the pace to "2". Press R1 and you will see the monitor screen. Hold L1 and press D-pad Right(2) and release. Do not leave this screen. The game will finish three times faster. However, the car will pit every six laps (42 game minutes). When the car pits, the game will return to normal speed and will leave the monitor screen. When you leave the pit, do the same thing to make the race faster. You should finish in between 13 to 14 hours. You will now have the Gran Turismo Formula 1 Car. The vehicle has 904 hp, medium racing tires, turbo stage 4, brake controller, full transmission, and full limited-slip. It is valued at approximately 1,300,000 credits. If you win the car, do not sell it. The race gives you 1,200,000 credits. This car cannot be tuned. It can also be used in Japanese Events. This car has the best handling and amazing brakes. It does well in longer races because the gas mileage is unbelievable.

Hint: Rally D'Umbria: Hidden message:
Enter the Rally D'Umbria in Special Events. When you start the race, look on the road just under the Gran Turismo finishing tape. On the asphalt the message "Dio lo benedice - fate il suo guidare il più sicuro e divertirsi" will appear, which has no sense as written, but should mean "God bless you...drive safely and have fun".

On the Normal Trail Mountain track, drive to the end of the big straightaway with the tunnel. Before you get to the big banked sharp turn, look out over the valley to see a very tall lone tree.
Jason Voorhees.

Hint: Easy car manufacturers trophy wins:
For an easy win in trophies held by the cars manufacturers for a specified model and you have a lot of money, look for a tuned-up version of that car (especially for the Japanese trophies) at Tuner's Village. For example, the HKS Hyper Genki Silvia '03 (sold at the HKS shop) will allow you to easily win the Silvia Trophy. The RE Amemiya Asparadrink RX-7 ( sold at the RE shop ) will allow you to easily win the RX-7 Trophy.

Hint: Shorter 5 and 10 race championships win:
These are the races where you are forced to race five or ten races in a consecutive order. For each first place finish you obtain, you will get 10 championship points. For second place, 6 points are awarded. In a five race championship, you can get a total of 50 points. In a ten race championship you can get 100 points. The reason for the points is to determine an overall winner for the championship. If you have more points than everyone else, you win. For example, assume at the eighth race you have 80 points (first place x eight races = 80 points), and second place has 48 points (second place x eight races = 48 points). There are only two races remaining, and a total of 20 points to still be awarded. If second place has 48 points + the 20 points remaining to get, this only gives second place a total of 68 points for the entire championship if he were to win the last two races. You have 80 points, which is more than the second place's 68 points. If you were to quit out of races nine and ten and give the points to second place, you will still win the championship. Once the championship is complete, you can always go back and "clean up" to get gold on the two races that you did not do at anytime, thus shortening the championships length. This also works on five race championships. Just make sure you have enough points to win if you quit the last two races. You will still be rewarded the championship money and car. You can also do this in the middle of the championship. For example, if you did the first four races and the fifth is Nurburgring, you can quit out of it and move onto race six. As long as you have more points than second place, you can quit out of as many races as desired, thus shortening the length of the overall championship.
Joe Whirley.

Hint: Shorten race duration:
Enter a race. Instead of racing in A-Spec Mode, select B-Spec. Once the race begins, there will be an option at the bottom of the screen that reads "Race Monitor". Press R1 to access this. A screen will appear with information. At the bottom of this screen there will be an option for "Change View Speed". Hold L1 and press Right one for 2x the race speed, or twice for 3x the speed. This is very useful in endurance races. Note: Once this is done the car will pit automatically, and you will have to redo this every time that it pits.
cggassman.

You can shorten endurance races by going to the pits in the middle of the race and switching the mode to B-Spec.

Hint: Random cars:
Watch out for random cars that can acquire parts from Tuner Village other than the cars you can buy there. A VW Golf that you bought from the VW dealership in Germany can get parts from Germany/VW and Tuner Village. A Nissan Skyline that you bought from the Nissan dealership can get parts from Japan/Nissan and Tuner Village, etc. There are too many cars to list. The same applies to Used and Historic cars.
Joe Whirley.

Hint: Special black cars:
You can find very high powered cars in the Used Car showrooms. For example, you may see a black (not the usual red and white) Toyota GT-ONE (TS020) Race Car for 1.2 million credits. This is less than half price from Toyota at 4.5 million credits. Other special cars that are available for very low prices are the Mazda 787B Race Car (black), the Nissan R92CP Race Car (black) and the Nissan R390 GT 1 Race Car (black). These cars appear during the last week of the showroom changing cycle (starting at day 694).
Joe Whirley.

The special black Mazda 787B '91 found in Used Car Shop when you reach 694 game days has more HP than the usual Orange/Green Mazda 787B '91 you can buy at Mazda's shop.

Hint: Better handling:
When racing on tracks with a lot of turns and twists, use the nitrous while turning. Your car should handle a lot better.
Samir Sahbaz.

Hint: Ride the walls:
In certain courses when there are gradual turns with hard walls and no dirt between them and the track (for example, Costa di Amalfi), instead of braking and trying to take the inside of the turn at the suggested speed, put the pedal to the floor and head for the outside wall of the turn. As soon as your car begins turning in the "suggested" direction the wall is pushing it to, turn your wheel in that direction. If you manage to hit the wall at the correct angle without hitting it directly, you will "scrape" the side of the walls at high speed, and exit the turn quicker and with more speed than braking and turning on the inside. This can shave off quite a few seconds from your lap time with enough practice.
PK.

Hint: Drifting:
With a 4x4, you must enter a corner at a fast speed and exit either faster or slower. With FR, MR, or RR you must enter the corner at a moderate speed but exit faster than you entered. Also, for better performance set your Drift or 4x4 for front wheels to 50.
Peter.

Hint: Wheelie at 360 mph:
Go to Toyota's classic cars and purchase the Toyota GT-ONE Race Car (TS020) for 4,500,000 credits. Buy everything available for the car including the R5 racing tires. Once you have purchased and souped it up, go to the Power and Speed Icon in the top right corner of the map. Select "Driving Park". Then, select MAX Top Speed Challenge to the right, but go backwards on the track. After the loading screen, go to settings (little tool box). Equip and set the following: Tires R5, Nitrous (set the value to 50), Turbine Kit (Stage 4), Suspension (Racing); set the spring rate and the ride height to the lowest possible value (4.0) and (55) respectively; full Customizable Transmission (set the final gear to a value of 3.000) and the (Auto to 25), Driving Aids, (set all three to 0), Down Force (set front to 38 and rear to 88); and leave everything else stock. When you enter the track, accelerate as usual, but go backwards. Wait until you are on the back stretch to use the nitrous to get it over 360 mph and into a wheelie. As you round the last corner leading into the beginning of the back stretch, hit the nitrous and watch the nose of the car and the speedometer rise.
Joe Whirley.

Hint: Avoid driving mission penalty:
On Special Event/driving mission mode in simulation, if you hit a wall or car and receive a penalty for it, check if your RPM is above the rev-limiter for the gear that is below (i.e., if you are in third gear then the gear below is second gear). To check if you are above the rev-limiter, if the RPMs are almost redlining then you can over-rev if you downshift. If you downshift when you are redlining in one gear, then the rev-limiter will not allow the clutch to be engaged, allowing you to stay above the 30 mph penalty. You will lose speed, but not as rapidly as you would if you were to drop down to 30 mph for five seconds.
gtbrett90.

Hint: See sparks:
Get a fast car and go to the Max Speed Test. Get to about 200 mph, and on one of the banked corners get very low and swerve hard to the right. Hit the side so that you go up in the air. If you get the nose of your car up high you will land on the back bottom of the car (you cannot see this happen until you watch the replay). When you finish, watch the replay. You will see sparks fly as the car grinds against the paved road.
Justin Time.

Hint: Pit stops:
Make a pit stop about every five to ten laps. If you watch your top speed, you will see that it will decrease about 5 mph every three laps.
Justin Time.

Hint: Practice:
On any race that you enter with an option to "Practice"; this is a hidden qualifying round. It is actually a qualifying round for the race that you are entering. Do the practice until you see first place at the top of the screen. Once you see this, quit practice and start the race in either A or B-Spec modes. Your car will start in first place.
Joe Whirley.

Hint: Tune car while at house:
While at your house, hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Select + Start to be taken to the car setup/tune page. This saves a lot of time, as you can set your car up for arcade races without first starting a race, then tuning, then going back to the main menu.

When at the screen where you select to go into the Garage, Status, Diary, etc. and are in the car that you want to tune, simply press Start. You will be sent to the tune car screen.

Hint: View ending sequence:

Hint: Mercedes SLR McLaren 2003: Retractable spoiler:
Put any replay camera on the normal replay mode and look at the trunk area of the car. A wing comes out of the trunk to help add downforce.

Glitch: King Dome in Seattle Circuit:
Just before Safeco Field (The Mariner's Stadium), the King Dome stands on the right. The King Dome was the Mariner's old stadium and was destroyed in a giant implosion on March 26, 2000, and thus should not currently appear in the game.

Glitch: Cameramen:
In the Grand Canyon get to where you see the cameramen trying to dodge you and not get killed. In photo mode, press Select just before or after you pass the cameraman's original standing position, where he runs from the middle of the course. Take a picture, then back out. The man should be standing right where he just ran from, appearing through the car. [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3]

Chris Tall.

Glitch: Chrysler/Plymouth Prowler:
The model of the Prowler is the Plymouth production version, and not the Chrysler version where it is listed. This is seen on the rear bumper, where you can barely see out that the first letter is "P" on both sides, and by the Plymouth badge on the front of the vehicle. There are no Chrysler markings.
Chris Tall.

Glitch: License test IA16 description:
The test description has two errors. First, it says that it is the final test in the National A License. It is actually the International A License. Second, it says you are racing on the Salt Circuit. In fact, you are actually racing on the Sarthe Circuit (Le Mans Circuit).
Ronnie McCrea.

Glitch: Wrong lap number:
In The Honda Special Make Races, in the Type R Meeting the Autumn Ring Reverse race states that it is only four laps. This is actually a five lap race to win.
