1.INTRODUCTION (GTINT)
======================
This game marks Polyphony Digital's fourth outing in the famed Gran Turismo
series. The GT games are generally viewed as somee of the best racing games on
the market. It has been stated that this installment will have vastly improved
AI(we all know how that works out) over its predecessors. This guide will be
used mainly to give general information about this game, but I will go into
depth on certain aspects. The game has been confirmed to have over 700 cars
from auto makers spanning Europe, North America, and Asia.
*If you have a Gran Turismo 3 save on your Memory Card, then you can transfer
up to 100,000 credits to Gran Turismo 4 at the start of the game giving you
110,000 to start with*
There are two different modes with which to race in Gran Turismo 4.
------
A-spec - This is the normal racing mode. The user has complete control over
------ the car. You will have to be aware of your position as well as the
position of other drivers as you tear around the tracks.
------
B-spec - This mode is a new addition to Gran Turismo 4. Your car is controlled
------ by an AI which you can influence. There are five different settings
for the personality of the AI ranging conservative to road rage-like
aggresive. There is also an option to have the driver take a pit stop
on the next available opportunity.
You can switch between the two modes in the pit.
