about in the second paragraph. Can someone clear this up for me?

Get expert advice on tuning cars for specific classes in Gran Turismo 2, including recommendations for the Compact and Historic classes, and tips for overcoming difficult AI opponents.

This section provides advice and clarifications regarding car tuning and class challenges in Gran Turismo 2, addressing specific user questions and offering solutions for difficult races.

Compact Class: For the Compact class, it is recommended to purchase the Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR '99. This car can be tuned to weigh under 1000kg after a race modification. With good driving skills, it should be easy to win, provided you invest heavily in tuning it to its maximum potential (Racing Muffler/Brake/all turbo upgrades, and tuned suspension). The initial cost for tuning can be substantial.

Historic Class: The second race in the Historic class presents a significant challenge, particularly in the Japanese import version, where the AI consistently uses the Lancia Stratos and Ford GT-40. The GT-40, with its 310ps, exceeds the typical limits for this class, making it difficult for modern cars like the ST165 Celica, Lotus Sport Elise, or Civic to compete. A suggested solution is to purchase an '82 Corvette and tune it to approximately 300ps (294ps for the US version). Winning this race requires careful driving, constant awareness of competitors, and flawless execution.

MuscleCar Class: The MuscleCar class is noted as being very easy and enjoyable to complete, especially when using the Escudo P.P.

General Tuning Clarifications:

• Downgrading Cars: If a car is tuned too far, it can be downgraded by visiting the 'Machine Test' or a 'Free Race' mode. This is not a glitch but a standard game mechanic.
• Part Transfer: The limitation of buying only one part per car, a feature also present in Gran Turismo 1, requires parts to be removed from an old car before they can be installed on a new one, even if it's a replacement of the same model. This is considered a programming oversight as each car should ideally have its tuning independent of others.
• AI Horsepower Exceeding Limits: It has been observed that computer-controlled cars sometimes enter races with horsepower exceeding the class limits. This could be a glitch or a result of the AI randomly selecting cars from a generated list, potentially grouping cars of similar classes but vastly different power levels.
• Data Transfer from GT1: It is not possible to transfer cars from Gran Turismo 1 to Gran Turismo 2, only game data.
• Best Cars for HP Classes: A potential addition to the FAQ could be a section detailing the best cars for each horsepower class. For instance, the Tommy Kaira ZZ3 (slightly tuned) is recommended for under 345hp due to its excellent handling.
