About Sports Car GT

Sports Car GT consists of two main single-player modes (as named in their PlayStation and PC versions respectively): season or career, and arcade or quick race - the PlayStation version also includes a time trial mode. In the season/career mode, the player has to race in four GT classes, starting in the GT qualifying class (GTQ) and progressively get to GT3, GT2 and GT1 classes. The player begins with $50,000 (PlayStation) or 100,000 credits (PC) to purchase their first car in the GTQ class, earning more cash/credits throughout when finishing in the top three in races. The difficulty and length of races in career mode can be adjusted in the PC version.

Progressively this means the player would be able to upgrade their car's components such as brakes, suspension and exhaust, or sell it altogether in favor of purchasing a different car. For optimum performance of the car, components can be tweaked such as the brakes, suspension, ride height, and downforce. In the PlayStation version, after completing the GT1 class (the final race of which is 20 laps at Sebring International Raceway), the player gets invited to a bonus class named Paris GT1, made up of three street tracks set in Paris, France. On the other hand the PC version unlocks the World GT class, consisting of races in all prior tracks.

Three fictional tracks also appear on the PC version: Chatham, Sardian Park and North Point. Single-player races may take place in daylight or nighttime with various weather conditions and there are either fifteen (PC) or five (PS) computer-controlled opponents. Multiplayer modes include 'pink slip', where two players duel each other and the winner wins the loser's car which gets transferred between their PlayStation memory cards. On PC, LAN network play is possible between up to sixteen human players.
