Ford has four special models).

Finding cars

If you cannot find a certain car in the used car lot, check back in about 10
days or more. The car you are looking for may be available. For example, the
Mazda AZ-1 appears only on certain days in the lot.

Easy Rally Racing

Races to easily defeat your opponents.

Bonus cars and money

Buy a Mitsubishi 3000GT and enter it into the 4WD Race. After winning that
race you will receive a car that is great but only worth 125,000 credits. It
has great handling and speed.

the Tuned-Turbo Challenge and enter the Test Course. If you win, you will
get 50,000 credits and a drag car that is worth 250,000 credits. You have to
defeat the drag car to obtain it. The drag car does not corner very well, so
take them slow.

Win the 4WD Challenge at Laguna Seca to receive a 618 hp custom car. Take
that car to the Tuned-Turbo Challenge and enter the Test-Track race. You
will win 50,000 credits and a car worth 30,000 credits for each 3-lap race
that is won. The secret to winning on the Test-Track is in the corners. Stay
smooth and off the walls/grass to pass the faster cars. Do not let them
block your car, and drive defensively once in the lead. You will also need
licenses to race.

'99 and tune it to the max. Then, get an International A license. Go to
Special Events, go to Line Up 4, choose Tuned Turbo Car No.1 Race at the
Test Course. Finish in first place to get 50,000 credits and a Skyline that

SX (racing modified). Repeat again until you win a 13,750 Mines Lancer V
(racing modified).

After wining all National races, race any of the Euro-Pacific races. Each
win will give you 10,000 credits plus a 250,000 credit car.

Buy a used Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type M(R32,J) '91. Completely outfit it with
all performance and handling upgrades (excluding "For Professionals Only"
items). Enter "Grand Touring Cup" and win first in Midfield Raceway (about 4
minutes). You will receive 30,000 credits plus a 250,000 credit Unisia Jecs
Skyline. Sell the car. Repeat this process four times to earn about
1,120,000 credits in under sixteen minutes.

Go to the "Muscle Car" event and enter the second race. Win this race to get
a car worth 75,000 credits and 8,000 prize credits.

Race the 30 lap endurance race. Win first place to get 150,000 credits and a
Supra race car worth 250,000 credits. A recommended car is the '91 Supra
Twin Turbo R outfitted with sports tires, sports brakes, sports suspension,
chip upgrade, stage 1 turbo, racing intercooler, racing exhaust, and stage 2
weight reduction. Note: The race will take approximately 50 minutes to
complete.

Go to the Gran Turismo All-Star League and win the Laguna Seca race. You
will receive 50,000 credits and the TVR Speed 12 which you can sell for
500,000 credits. Getting the GT One On-Road from Toyota and putting a stage
4 turbo on it is recommended.

the car you win to end up with 1.1 million credits.

[final kaoss]

-Unlock Super License:
First earn the A, B, International A, B, & C Licenses.
The Super License will now be available.

-Unlock Event Synthesizer Race:
After earning the Super License(see above), you will
be able to unlock the Event Synthesizer Race.

-Easy Start:
This game is very different than GT, you don't win
Cups anymore, you have to race tracks one by one.
Also, most of the races are limited to a certain HP.
The first races you should take are the Sunday Cup
and the Clubman Cup. Buy a used R32 Skyline and tune
it enough to have a lot of HP. Race all of the races
and keep gaining money.

-Easy Money and Cars:
First,you must have at least 300,000 now and an I-A
liscense. Buy a Mitsubishi 3000GT MR-Twin Turbo and
tune it to the max. Go to Special Events and enter
the No#1 Tuned Turbo Car World Cup. All the races
here pay 50,000, but are kinda hard. Pick the one
with the Test Course. The cars here are unforgiving
so make sure you tune your car to go to at least 210
MPH. Race 3 consecutive times and you will win the
second ultimate car the HKS R33 Drag. Which sells for
250,000.

-The Ultimate Driving Machines:
After you have established atleast 4 million,buy the
Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version which sells for
2,000,000.This car is monstrously powerful and quite
easy to handle at high speeds.If you drive well
enough, you can race any race and defeat all your
opponents.This car will whip the competition in the
GT World Cup so have fun.

-Getting money:
Win the 4WD Challenge at Laguna Seca to receive a
618 hp custom car. Take that car to the Tuned-Turbo
Challenge and enter the Test-Track race. You will win
$50,000 and a car worth $30,000 for each 3-lap race
that is won. The secret to winning on the Test-Track
is in the corners. Stay smooth and off the
walls/grass to pass the faster cars. Do not let them
block your car, and drive defensively once in the
lead. You will also need licenses to race.

Get a brand new Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec (R34.J) '99
and tune it to the max. Then, get an International A
licensee. Go to Special Events, go to Line Up 4,
choose Tuned Turbo Car No.1 Race at the Test Course.
Finish in first place to get $50,000 and a Skyline
that is worth $30,000. Repeat this until you win a
250,000 Mine's HKS 180 SX (racing modified). Repeat
again until you win a 13,750 Mines Lancer V (racing
modified). Note: You do not have to use a Nissan
Skyline, just a powerful and fast car.

-How to get a viper GTS-R:
Start game and win enough to get a car with 591
horsepower and then go to endurance races and go to
Apricot Hill 200km. You must have internation B
licence and win 1st place and you will receive
$500,000 and the viper GTR.

-Obtaining licenses easier:
At the main menu on simulation mode go to the last
selection (Transfer or Communication). You can load
your licenses from the original Gran Turismo from here.

-Easy first place in arcade mode:
Purchase a "special" model car on the simulation mode
disc, which costs approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000
credits. Save the game. On the arcade disc, choose to
load the simulation mode game. When choosing the class
of car in a race, choose "home garage" and use your
new car.

-License Tests Demonstrations:
If you are having trouble getting past the License
tests, watch the demonstrations. These demos are much
better than the ones in GT so watch the speed and the
turning and braking times. This should make your
license woes disappear.

-Double Your Cash and Garage Space:
It is understood that your garage in Gran Turismo 2
only holds 100 cars at a time. Lets say you have 100
cars and $10 million credits Save your game play
twice on two differants memory cards. Use one card as
your primary garage and one as your secondary garage.
Now take the first card and sell off all the lower
cars then safe agian. Now take the secondary card ,
load up and sell all the higher cars then safe again
on the secondary card. Keep your best race cars on
the primary and all others on the secondary. You have
now double your garage space to 200 and have doubled
your credits with 10 million in each , plus what you
got for the sold cars for a total credits of 20
million plus whatever earned on sold cars, split
between the two garages. If you need to transfer a
car from one garage to the other, use the data tranfer
mode off the main menu by buying the cars off each
other You will never lose the money for you own both
garages. When one garage fills up, do it again.

-Extra HP in HP limited races:
On the simulation disc you can use a car with up to 5
more HP on the races (with limited HP). Go buy a item
such as race mufflers or computer, but do not equip
them on the car. Before the race go into settings and
equip the item. The computer will allow around 5 HP
more than posted.

-Get the elusive Lancia Stratos:
To get the rare and very futuristic looking Stratos,
despite that it was made in the 80's, you must beat
the 200KM Apricot Hill Endurace Race. You may also
get a [R]Viper GTS-R.

-Car wash glitch:
There is a mistake at the part where you wash your car.
When you go wash your car, it says it costs 5,000
credits to wash once. But it's really costing you
only 50 credits.

-Quick cash:
If you haven't already, get a good used car to start
with, win a few of the easy $3000 and $4000 races and
soup up your car so that it runs at just under 295
Horses. I chose the '94 Mitsubishi FTO GR(J), won
some of the easy special events and souped it up a
bit. Once you have a semi-decent car, and after you
have aquired your B licence, heed back over to the
Special Events and enter the FF Challenge. From there,
choose the Tahifi Road Race (A purse of $5000 if you
win). Now, you'll have to race this several times, but
if you keep wininng, once you get around $40K saved,
you will notice you get a "Bonus Car" awarded which
is Mugen Accord SIR-T(J). This car can sell for about
$7000. If you race the same race again and win, you
get ANOTHER one. Keep on racing and collecting these
cars.. that makes a total purse of about $12000 per
race which ain't to bad for a 2 lap "B" license race.
It may help you build up some cash to totaaly supe up
your old car, or buy that elusive new car you have
always dreamed of.

-Quick cash:
Race and win the last of the "Midship Challenge" races
(Special Events - first page, bottom left corner -
the last race with a 591 hp limit) with any high
powered car of the "MR" type. You'll get a [R]GT40
Race Car. If you enter the same race once more with
this new car of yours, you'll notice that you can't
be beaten (Well, almost. Strictly speaking, you can
loose with any car).

The beauty of this scheme is that, as I've explained,
once you've won the race once, you're sure to be able
to win again. And you'll get a new [R]GT40 Race Car
every time. Did I mention that the race is only 2
laps? And that a [R]GT40 Race Car sells for 250,000?
You see my point, I'm sure.

-Quick cash:
First get your international B license. Then buy an
Audi S4 and max it out. Make sure you only have the
stage 3 turbo equipped. The stage 3 turbo gives your
car 534hp. Then go to the GT Euro League. All of these
races are a 591hp limitation so you will be alright.
There are three races and each one gives you 10000 for
first. Since the Audi is 4wd you should have no
trouble winning. As you win each one you recieve a
race vehicle ie: Zexel Skyline. Each vehicle is worth
250,000 credits when sold. Each race is three laps
but if you win all three and sell the cars, you can
make 780,000 credits in one sitting!

-Get a lot of money:
Go to race with a rally car, go to rally events and
choose tahiti road. Then you take the 2nd race mode and
you dont have to take a really fast car but you always
win. You get the price of 10.000 every time you race (be
sure you have dirt tires).

-Mad Cash for real:
First go buy the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version if you
haven't already bought. Then go to the GT all stars Red
Rock Valley race. When you win the race you get 50,000
credits.the car you get is a TVR speed 1 which is worth
500,000 keep on repeating and win some big bucks.

-Quick cash:
Get a decent car with under 390HP, I chose a Chevrolet
Camaro SS 97' with 311HP then race it in the Wagon
Showdown in the super speedway race. Its easy to win
and as well as the $6000 prize, you get a Mugen Accord
Wagon worth $6250, making a total of $12250 for a race
which should take under 2 minutes.

-Money hint:
Get enough cash to buy the Viper GTS-R and upgrade it
to the best of that car. Best tires, muflers, wheels
and suff like that, sell it and you will make 1 million
dollar credits and use that credit to fix all of you
other cars to its best and sell the three best cars you
have then you will earn 100 million credits.

-Get money really easy:
if you get a lincence (B or A) and go to grand turismo leage,
and then choose the french competition and out of the 2
selections choose the TOP one. it is really easy so if you
come first you win $4000.
