    Participate in dirt rally events against opponents.
  3. 3

Tips
  • Be aware that the number of available cars (191) is significantly less than in Gran Turismo 2, due to the focus on detailed graphics and car statistics.
  • Formula One cars, while powerful, require careful management of tire wear due to their performance characteristics.
  • The game omits the ability to perform Racing Modifications on production cars, remove suspension damage, and remove power limits on race events, unlike its predecessor.
