-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *************************************************************************** Gran Turismo Concept 2002 Tokyo-Geneva : a quick guide by Ronnie Badger *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Platform - PlayStation2 Game version - PAL (SCES-50858) Guide Author - RONNIE BADGER (a pseudonym of Paul Wilson) Email - [email protected] Version 1.3 - last update: 22nd July 2002 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *************************************************************************** F O R E W O R D *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is my first FAQ. I suppose I have to start somewhere, and this is as good a place as any. Some sections of the game are NOT covered in this guide. I guess that anyone who owns this game already owns GRAN TURISMO 3 (or has, at the very least, played it). In other words, certain assumptions are being made. If you have NEVER played GRAN TURISMO 3, I recommend that you buy it immediately and immerse yourself in it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *************************************************************************** C O N T E N T S *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 1 - Contact details 2 - Important Information 3 - LEGAL NOTICE 4 - GRAN TURISMO CONCEPT: the game a - What is GT Concept? b - Course Licence mode c - Course Licence prizes d - Single Race mode e - Single Race prizes f - Cars (default and dream) 5 - Secrets 6 - Credits 7 - Version History -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *************************************************************************** 1 - C O N T A C T d e t a i l s *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- If you have any genuine ENQUIRIES about, SUGGESTIONS for or CONTRIBUTIONS to this QUICK GUIDE, please email: [email protected] - include the words GRAN TURISMO CONCEPT in the subject line to avoid instant deletion and blocking.

If there are any significant differences between this and the US and Japanese versions, please let me know and I will add them to the guide. NOTE: This guide will cover COURSE LICENCE and SINGLE RACE modes ONLY. All other modes of play are not vital to the completion of the game. Please be aware that this game uses the same control system(s) as GRAN TURISMO 3. I have avoided discussing STRATEGY in this guide. I leave that up to you. In addition, this guide will feature NO details on driving techniques or vehicle settings. You know where to look....

It is a game in its own right. While the scope for gameplay is much narrower than its illustrious forebear, it is no less impressive to look at, play or listen to. It is, essentially, GRAN TURISMO LITE. The one hundred ready-tuned vehicles span concept cars, rally cars, production models and fantasy racers. While these cars are beautifully modelled (as expected), there are no graphical improvements that make them stand out compared to any vehicle represented in GT3. There are five principal circuits with all but one being lifted directly from GT3. GRAN TURISMO CONCEPT is by no means an essential purchase. There is no GRAN TURISMO mode, vehicles cannot be bought or sold; nor can they be transferred to a GT3 game. This is a quick-fix racing game; something to get the adrenaline going without any of the relative tedium. Once started, this game will be finished very quickly. My advice is: play it, finish it, put it on the shelf and only bring it out when you've got some friends round. Enjoy it while it lasts; then sit back and wait for GRAN TURISMO 4. *************************************************************************** [b] - C O U R S E L I C E N C E m o d e *************************************************************************** Before entering a race, each course must be opened by gaining a LICENCE. Each LICENCE consists of a single lap of each course in a predetermined vehicle. The vehicle being used may not have its settings changed prior to beginning the LICENCE lap. Once you have selected the circuit you would like to race on, you will then have the option to use a PACE CAR. This vehicle will drive in front, and it may be used to follow the racing line and find the optimum braking points. Its use is OPTIONAL. No penalty is imposed for using the PACE CAR. It can be psychologically useful to use the PACE CAR - it acts as an opponent which can help improve your own performace. Be careful not to crash into it! Now it's time to race! Beat the times listed to win a prize and open the SINGLE RACE mode circuits. Listed below are the courses used (NB: II refers, in GT tradition, to a mirror version of a course), the test cars available for use on each course as well as the GOLD, SILVER and BRONZE qualifying lap times. To open a course for use in SINGLE RACE mode, the lap must be completed to at least the BRONZE standard. Finishing a lap in a time greater than the BRONZE standard means you will have to try again in order to qualify.

By gaining the BRONZE or GOLD standard, you win a car. SILVER is a little different. If you have previously gained BRONZE and improve to acheive SILVER, there will be no reward except the personal satisfaction of beating a previous lap time. However, if the SILVER standard is reached at your first attempt, you will be rewarded with the car that you would have won had you achieved only the BRONZE standard. If you are lucky enough to get GOLD at your first attempt, you will earn TWO cars - one for getting GOLD plus the one that would have been awarded for BRONZE. In summary, for every course available in COURSE LICENCE mode, there are TWO cars to be won. Apart from opening up all the available circuits in SINGLE RACE mode, completion of COURSE LICENCE mode opens up the POD RACE (see SECRETS section) COURSE BONUS CAR (BRONZE) BONUS CAR (GOLD) ****** ****************** **************** Mid-Field Raceway Pennzoil Zexel GTR ?

The aim of the game here is to WIN, WIN, WIN! Winning a race results in a reward being given - a car for future use. You will race against a full field of FIVE cars on the MID-FIELD RACEWAY, TOKYO R246 and AUTUMN RING circuits; and a single opponent on the SWISS ALPS and TAHITI MAZE circuits. There are two levels of difficulty available: NORMAL and PROFESSIONAL. These modes dictate the driving skills of the opposition. NORMAL is designed for beginners and PROFESSIONAL is for more experienced drivers. There is a third mode available: see SECRETS section for details. The length of the race depends on the difficulty chosen. Racing under NORMAL conditions offers a TWO-lap race. Racing under PROFESSIONAL offers a THREE-lap race. Having chosen a level of difficulty, you will be invited to choose a car. The car you choose dictates what opposition you will face; and you may only choose cars that have already been unlocked or those that appear by default. As with all cars in all versions of GRAN TURISMO, you may select AUTOMATIC or MANUAL transmission. Different sets of cars appear under several categories. See CARS section for more details. One of FIVE circuits may be selected for a SINGLE RACE. A circuit may be attempted in its reverse form as well as its default form. It is possible, just before the race begins, to choose DRIVING AIDS to best suit your driving skills and/or style. NOTE: this option is not available for DIRT TRACK races. The DRIVINGS AID option allows the ASM (Active Stability Management) and TCS (Traction Control System) to be switched ON or OFF: ASM + TCS = for beginners (easy handling) TCS only = for intermediate drivers (moderate handling) NO assist = for expert drivers (maximum speed) In SINGLE RACE mode, there is no option to qualify for a place on the starting grid: you will always start the race in last place. Before the race begins, you will have the opportunity to alter some of your car's settings. When you choose to START the race, the countdown begins and battle commences. *************************************************************************** [e] - S I N G L E R A C E P R I Z E S *************************************************************************** If you win a race, you win a car - it's as simple as that!

If there are any more, let me know. ROLLING DEMO ************ Instead of selecting GAME START from the front menu, press TRIANGLE to start a selection of rolling demos featuring cars from the game. Each demo ends with an advert for the game before more rolling demos begin. Return to the front menu by pressing START. Alternatively, leave the game inactive for a short while to initiate the demo sequence. NEW LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY *********************** In SINGLE RACE mode at the LEVEL SELECTION screen, press L1 and R1 together to reveal a hidden level of difficulty, ACE LEVEL. Races run for FIVE laps, and the opposition has the highest ability. NOTE: If you win all races in SINGLE RACE (Professional) mode, you will be alerted to this extra feature. This mode must be activated each time the game is loaded (ie it doesn't SAVE to a memory card) (CREDIT: listed at GameFAQs by Davut; and ME from playing the game) POD RACE ******** No, it has nothing to do with STAR WARS. This race mode (selected from the GAME STATUS screen) becomes available after completing COURSE LICENCE mode. This race comprises three laps of an elongated oval, driving the most ludicrous vehicle ever invented, the Toyota POD and just before the end of each lap you are obliged to apply the handbrake ans stop for a few seconds. Failure to do so means RACE OVER! Winning this race earns no reward. The POD displays its emotions by way of different colour lights at the front and back of the vehicle: RED means it's angry, BLUE means it's sad, and ORANGE means it's happy. Your driving skills determine the colour. A little "tail" wags at the rear of the vehicle. It steers like a cow. MOVEABLE OBJECTS **************** During the POD RACE (see above), you can drive over some fluorescent bollards, watching them scatter across the track. BIG CASH BONUS ************** To earn 10,000,000 credits for use in GRAN TURISMO 3, win all races in SINGLE RACE (Normal) mode (CREDIT: Official UK PlayStation2 Magazine - August issue) In addition to getting 10,000,000 credits, you will be awarded a BRONZE trophy for EVERY licence not yet taken in GRAN TURISMO 3. So, if you (like me) have previously had a little difficulty getting the SPECIAL LICENCE (or any licence, for that matter), then worry no more! ALL races in GT mode will now be available.
