FIRST OFF,GET A DRIVER’S LICENSE
In Championship Mode, without obtaining a Driver’s License the player will only be able to enter the “LICENSE,” “INFORMATION,” “CAR FILE,” or “MEMORY CARD” items in the My Garage Menu. After obtaining a license, select “CAR DEALER” to buy a car, or “CARROZZERIA” to create an original car.
THE WREATH MARK
After winning a race, the mark of a wreath will be displayed next to that race (if every race in a single mode is won, then a wreath will appear next to the mode). Naturally it is possible to enter a race even after winning. For the Driver Test, alongside each car manufacturer, a mark of 1-3 (depending on the race result) will be displayed. If a mark is displayed, the player has already obtained the license for that car manufacturer.

HINTS
CHECKING THE CLASSOF CARS
Beside each car available for sale is an icon (E, B, A, SA) which corresponds to the class of car (p.4). There are restrictions on the engine displacement in many races (i.e. the class of car). Make sure to check the class of the car as well as its specifications. The color of the icon shows whether the car is a pro­duction model, works car or original car.
GET A BONUSFROM THESPONSOR
Win an Event Race and in addition to the usual prize-money, receive a money bonus from the race sponsor (only for races with sponsors). The race sponsor will also become available to sponsor the player.
GRIP ANDDRIFT RACING STYLES
As the names suggest, the grip setting gives more grip when cornering while drift allows the tires to spin. Select “GRIP” and reduce speed when entering a corner. Select “DRIFT” and allow the car to enter and clear the corner without braking heavily. Make a selection based your personal style.
HINTS
POLE POSITION BONUS
Achieve the fastest lap in qualifying to earn pole position and a money bonus (in Championship Mode only). Starting from pole position gives the players a big advantage of winning the race. Try and set up the car before the qualifying race (for example, setting the car for maximum speed) to get the best chance of getting pole position.
VISIT THE WEBSITE
For more hints and information, visit the Sega GT website by selecting “INTERNET”from the Mode Select Menu. The site also contains a comprehensive guide to setting up your car and car parts.
