This mode lets you use i.LINK cables to connect more than one PlayStation 2
to allow up to six players to race against each other.

Be sure to turn off the power to the PlayStation 2 when connecting an i.LINK
cable to the PlayStation 2.

• To conduct an i.LINK Battle between two players using two PlayStation 2
consoles and two television sets, use an i.LINK cable (4 pin to 4 pin) to
connect the S400 (i.LINK) ports on each PlayStation 2.

• To conduct an i.LINK Battle between three or more players using three
or more PlayStation 2’s and television sets, use a commercial i.LINK hub
(6 pin with 6 ports) and i.LINK cables (4 pin to 6 pin) to connect the S400
(i.LINK) ports of each of the PlayStation 2’s to the i.LINK hub.

Starting an i.LINK battle

After entering i.LINK Battle, a Machine
ID will be designated for each of the
PlayStation 2 consoles connected via
i.LINK. Each console must select from
the following to participate in the race:

• Compete—Allows you to race

Simulation Mode

Simulation Mode is the essence of Gran Turismo. At the start, you begin the
game with an initial amount of credits (money). With credits you can purchase
cars, upgrade parts, buy wheels, and even get an oil change. Once you have
purchased a car, you’re ready to race. While you’ll have access to some
races at the start, most races require licensed drivers. To obtain a license, a
series of tests must be completed at the License Center. Also, most races
have vehicle limitations, so make sure you have the right type of car. As you
participate in races, you’ll earn more credits. As you earn more credits, you’ll
be able to customize your car or buy new ones.

The Fundamentals

The Goal

The primary goal of a race driver is to cover the course, whether it’s an oval
or road course, in the minimum amount of time. Racing courses consist of
straight-aways and corners. If we work on minimizing the time spent on the
straight-aways, then analyze how to minimize the time spent driving through
corners and slowing down, we can come up with a plan for reaching our
goal of being the fastest driver on the racetrack.

The Limit

It is important to remember that a tire is the only physical contact a car has
with the road. And, at any given time, that tire is only capable of 100% traction.
When you accelerate, turn or brake, you begin dividing that traction between
these three tasks. Under full acceleration, the tire is using 100% of its traction
to move the car forward. If you want to use 20% of the tires’ traction for
acceleration, you will be left with 80% of the traction for cornering. The same
scenario happens under braking. If you are using 80% of the tire’s traction
for braking, you will be left with only 20% traction for turning. Driving a
racecar through a turn is a systematic compromise between these forces.

How do we determine the maximum speed of a turn? This question is entirely
dependent on the maximum radius of the arc or the turn. As a car travels
faster around a turn, the tires must work harder to maintain the line. If you
increase your speed, but hold your steering input the same, the radius of the
turn will increase. Therefore, as speed increases, the radius increases until
the car is no longer able to stay on the road. At this point, you have exceeded
the maximum speed for the turn.

Foreword

The sound of a racecar engine singing sweetly at the top of its rev range and
its tires howling as they strain to maintain contact with the road coupled with
the blur of the passing scenery is a sensory odyssey that would satisfy any
adrenaline junkie’s cravings. Yet contrary to popular belief, driving a racecar
isn’t just about standing on the gas pedal. It is an art, refined over time. It is
a victory of the heart and mind over the irrefutable laws of physics. Piloting
a racecar is like running on a treadmill with your heart rate at 150 beats per
minute while you’re threading a needle and solving a complex math problem
at the same time. But you already know that.

The game you are about to play is as close as you can get without actually
buckling the harness belts and pulling on a helmet. With such an intense
racing experience awaiting, the creators of this game thought it would be a
good idea that you get a little professional advice before endeavoring to
experience its thrills. We at Skip Barber Racing School were only too thrilled
and flattered to oblige. In over 25 years we’ve trained many of the biggest
names in racing. In fact one-third of all the drivers taking the green flag at
the Indianapolis 500 since 1983 have been Skip Barber trained.

Following in the pages of this manual, you will find a tutorial on the art and
science of driving a racecar. It has been taken straight from the curriculum
offered at Skip Barber Racing School, the Official Racing School of CART,
and off of the pages of Skip Barber Racing School’s book, Going Faster!
It’s the very curriculum that has made talented racecar drivers champions.

Read on, and soon you’ll be “going faster!” than you ever thought possible.

As a car travels faster around a circular path, the tires use increasing amounts
of their potential traction to force the car to continue to change direction

34 35

you can carry through a corner is determined by
the tires’ traction and the line you drive through the
corner. (Remember that the tires are only capable
of 100% traction. Devoting all your traction to turn­ing will leave you with no traction for braking or

accelerating.) At first, it would
seem that the most efficient
way through a turn would be
to maintain the maximum
speed that will allow the tires
to maintain cornering traction.
You could then start accelerating at the end of the turn.
Whereas this will produce fast lap times, it is possible to
go even faster. Here’s how: by entering the turn a few
miles per hour slower, you will be able to devote a sma ll

amount of your traction to acceleration before you have
exited the turn. This slightly earlier return to the accelerator will give you a
longer period of acceleration, and in turn result in a faster overall speed at
the end of the straight.

Braking

The third skill is learning how to slow the
car for a corner and how to drive it from
where the turn begins to the throttle appli­cation point. We call this phase of driving
racecars “braking and entering.”

Remembering that a tire is only capable of
100% traction, it makes sense to do the
majority of your braking in a straight line.
This will get the maximum efficiency from
the brakes. As you rapidly approach a turn,
you should be holding the brake pedal at
it’s threshold — or braking at 100%. This
means that if you brake at 101%, the tire
will lock up and skid. Skidding is not good because you surrender control of
the tires’ traction and increase the overall distance to stop.

Skip Barber Strategy

There are Three Basic Problems to Solve in Racing:

1) Driving on the best path (The Line)

2) Carrying speed away from the corners onto the straight-aways
(Corner Exit Speed)

3) Efficiently slowing the car at the entry of a corner (Braking)

The Line

Simply defined, the line is the
optimum path around a race­track. In cor ners, this path is
usually the largest radius arc
that can fit into the confines of
the turn. The line can vary with
track conditions and the type
of racecar being driven.

As shown in the chart to the
right, driving up to a corner,
you have several choices about
how to drive through it. You can
drive around the inside of the corner (see above), but you’re restricted to
the smallest radius possible (R1). You can make the radius t h rou gh the cor ner
bigger yet by driving around the outside of the corner (R2)— the radius of
R2 is bigger than R1, so the maximum speed will be higher.

The best line, however, is to start the arc before the corner along the outside
of the road, touch the inside edge of the road roughly halfway through the
corner, and touch the outside edge of the road again at the exit. If you do this,
you can use R3, clearly the biggest and best choice by a significant margin.

Corner Exit Speed

Corner exit speed is the speed at which a car is traveling at the track-out
point of a corner and, consequently, the speed carried onto the following
straight. A higher corner exit speed is critical to the time you can gain when
accelerating down a straightaway. A higher exit speed equals a higher
straightaway speed, which equals a shorter lap time! The maximum speed

Skip Barber Strategy

You will now be on a
different radius and you
will need to adjust your
driving to stay on the
road. If you brake too
late, you will need to
remain on the brakes
longer to still remain in
control. This can often
lead to the competitor
passing you back on the
exit of the turn, or your
car leaving the course.
When your competition comes back and passes you right after you passed
them, it is called “The Double Pass.”

Closing

Armed with the knowledge of vehicle dynamics and racing strategy, all you
need now is something we refer to as “seat time.” As stated earlier in this
manual, racing is an art refined over time. You might think of a “fast lap” as
being a one shot deal. In qualifying circumstances, the magical fast lap is the
result of numerous laps spent perfecting the braking in each corner, deducing
the perfect line through it, and achieving the perfect exit trajectory for the
following straight. Each corner complex is refined before it is all strung into
one “perfect lap.” A slight mistake in any one may cause you to sacrifice the
tenths of a second that make the difference between pole and midfield.

Remember we said that driving a racecar is like running on a treadmill while
threading a needle and solving a complex math problem at the same time?
In a race circumstance, the difference between winning and losing is being
able to thread that needle and solve that math problem not once, but over
and over until the end of the race.

When it all comes together, and you are the first one to greet the checkered
flag, then you can exult in being the fastest and most skilled driver on the
track. The next challenge is to win every time.

Drivers— start your engines.

Skip Barber

Braking (continued)

As the car approaches the entrance of the turn, if you want to continue to
brake into the turn, you must relieve some of the braking grip so as to gain
the ability to turn the car — remember the traction compromise? This is
generally the most efficient way to enter the turn. It also smoothes out the
transitions from braking to cornering to once again applying the throttle.

S-Turns or “Compromise Corners”

So far, we’ve been looking at
each corner as if it were the only
turn on the course. You can’t
afford to make this assumption.
In fact, not all corners are creat­ed equal. A particular corner’s
placement on the course, where
it leads to, and what precedes
it, may also affect the line you
choose to drive through the corner.

Taking into account all these different
variables, you need to decide which
one of these corners will gain you the greatest advantage on lap time. We know
that exit speed is of paramount importance, so if you commit to the first turn,
your car might not be positioned to take advantage of the second turn. It is
very important to base your strategy on how you can exit the turn leading onto
the straight with maximum speed. Often, this means you will have to sacrifice,
or “compromise,” the proper line of the first turn to be able to take full advan­tage of the second turn and exit onto the straight at the highest possible speed.

Passing

Passing may seem like nothing more than just putting your foot down and
steering around the car ahead of you, but it’s not that simple. The uninformed
observer misses the point that on the racetrack, everyone has their foot to
the floor.

The most common method of passing is to out-brake your competition into
a corner. By going “deeper” into the turn, you can gain a lead over your
competitor, but remember that this will change “The Line” that your car travels.

Single pass Double pass

Identifying which of 2 connected
corners are more important
toward an overall lap time is key
in deciding which to compromise
