Trivia

  • There was a long standing rumor / myth that the reason for the covered car on the front of the manual was to avoid having to pay additional royalties or to avoid conflicts between manufacturers. The first 3 Gran Turismo games all feature ‘obscured’ views of their cover cars.
  • The 2nd manual is actually a reference book for all car types, tracks, and driving skills featured in the game. Both books are full color.
  • Gran Turismo requires you to essentially take 3 different Driver’s Education courses to earn the required licenses needed to race in simulation mode.
  • The creator of the game started off with Motor Toon Gran Prix.
  • If you hang back at the starting line, you can watch all of the A.I. controlled cars line up in single file like a Nascar race.
