"A game that's as old as most of KZfaq's viewers." I love it.

3 fun facts: 1) The Mazda Protégé will tune up to 394hp 2) it has the cheapest turbo level 3 and 3) it's a front-wheeler family sedan that can win the Grand Touring championship xDDD

I keep getting recommended GT2 content. KZfaq finally understands me

I grey up with this game from 1999, and I still play it to this very day. I love this game and it is legendary.

My quick-success method was to buy the cheapest Nissan Silvia K-Series 1800cc ($4096), add S1 turbo kit and S1 weight reduction, win the 80's Sports Car Cup 394hp Tahiti Road race and get the Nissan R30 Silhouette Formula. So you can reduce it down to just two races, if you include getting the Speed 12.

If i had known this 15 years ago...

you can choose the super soft tires in your last race, its a huge difference!

My favorite lower level race to grind in GT 2 was the station wagon race at the Super Speedway. It's easy and quick because the station wagons are mostly heavy and starved for top-end speed, it pays out decently and gives you a Subaru wagon for a prize car to sell IIRC. I'd honestly like to see what a Gran Turismo speed run looks like.

Used to grind this one all the time, never realised you could get to it in 3 races though!

I used to grind on red rock valley and sell the speed 12 over and over. That’s how I got my escudo lol crazy to believe that was almost 20 years ago for me.

This games progression is really... interesting. I struggled with the gts-t M for a while until I realized that the HP limits don’t always indicate the difficulty of the races. Then I won the GT300 Silvia from the grand touring car championship... and suddenly could win almost every race and swam in GT cash-money. I love it.

Here you go kids...... Life before HD.

i recommend also the 91 supra twin turbo. it Is a decent car for 9000 cr. and you can win the thaiti road even without any tuned part.

”The real driving simulator”

I spent years on this game and enjoied every minute of it. Gave me my love for motorsports and started a life long passion 20 years ago.

The Speed 12 is one of my favorite cars. Love it. Must, must, MUST, tweak the settings. After that....it's an absolute beast

Thanks for this video! Man, I remember in grade school we used to actually talk about doing this because we didn't have much time for grinding, didn't know others knew about these tricks!

Tbh I think it aged perfectly. For a PS1 title its incredible. It's aged like fine wine haha massive charm

Every now and then u come across a great channel like this ,, thank you . Take my sub

I know this game looks crap. I know it handles like crap. I know it hasn't aged well. I still LOVE it.

Alternative title: How to get the Escudo Pikes Peak version in only 7 races

wow brings back lots of memories we used to play this for days on end

I always started the game with a used Supra, then get the R Unisia Jecs Skyline (can't remember where) and with that car you could enter great championships and races. Great memories with this, awesome video!!!!

When I was little I used to grind the Muscle Car Cup race at Seattle to stockpile and sell Shelby Cobras. I always kept one or two to race too.

Gran Turismo 1 OG here... My grandma got me the first and later second GT games for getting straight A's in school back in the day 🤓😎🏎️ It's cool to see all the crazy ways everyone else has picked the game (and the others) apart in their own ways by this point...

Interesting Strat, my good man. Personally I've found success using a Mazda Infiniti used after I-A licenses. Raced in the Muscle Car Cup on Seattle Short, won it, sold the prize car and bought a Lancer RS or Subaru Imprezza Coupe and beat Tahiti with no issue or upgrades needed. Though this strat definitely looks more forgiving than what I did.

ahh.. R30 Foumula... it was my favorite endurance race car

My guy I know this video is 5 years old but THANK YOU for this!!! I am playing this on an emulator and none of the GameShark codes are working. I did the 80's Muscle Car track with a near maxed out Audi S4 and that winnable car got me a TON of money. Not nearly as much as the TVR but WAY more than the other races. I knew some of these races hand out very valuable cars and you don't need to beat them in sequence either. I used to know this game really well when I was a teenager and knew which races did what. You're the best!!! 💪🏻💪🏻😃

Been watching some Gran Turismo 2 videos recently, and it seems KZfaq randomly recommended this one to me! Pretty neat video indeed, neat to know of different ways of playing such a fantastic childhood game! For me, I would spend time getting Gold on every license, which would in the end give you that free Spoon S2000, which you could then use to win a lot of the races at first and not even need to spend the initial 10,000 CR :P

i personally use the MR cup GT40 to re-run and win itself, but this can be done so much sooner o.o

It was soo satysfying to discover things in this game

Cheers buddy. Once I've finished gt4 I'm plugging this one back in.

wish they would remaster this for ps4. i would buy the hell out of it!

I love these graphics they still have some realistic aspects more so then even modern graphics.

I laugh as i have 20 Speed 12s in my garage from grinding. Glad everyone else caught on

Oh man those sounds!!! Such nostalgia

Thank you so much for the memories.

who else made their money in the test course while just talking with friends and not paying attention to the game and selling HKS drags.

You have yourself a new subscriber!

I only clicked because of the title, beating the game, I am confused. Haven't even started the video. But also happy to see some GT2 since I love to reminisce. Sold my Sega to buy a PS One back in the day just because I saw an ad in a magazine of a Gran Turismo 1 Screen shot.

Omg this game was my favourite back in the day when it came out i still have my copy of this game from when i was 8 or 9

I don't understand how a car from 1991 is allowed in a race for 1980s cars.

Man, I wish I knew about this 20 years ago! lol Would've saved soo much time back then.

I haven't played in so long but I had a super license and I would win the TVR Speed 12 sell it and get any car I wanted. Just like you have done here. My favorite in this game was driving the RUF 930 at Trial Mountain.

I wore out my PS on this and Grand Theft Auto. Great memories!!

42. Us AF vet. Thanks 4 the upload. Start in 97. 1st year of College.

Thanks, this actually helped

You can do it in _two_ races if you get a Celica (ST185) GT-Four RC '91. Even without tuning, if can win the Tahiti 80s race in the right hands.

Gran Turismo Original Intro in HD remastered with the better japanese soundtrack here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba9ygdp6vL_Pdqs.html

This video is 6 years old at this time but I literally hooked up my PS2 and played GT2 yesterday. Edit: The Red Rock race was always my go to when I needed money lmao hands down best race in the game

Gran Understeer 2 Weewewewew

This just reminds me of how much of my life I wasted going through all of those goddamn menus.

i actually like tvr speed 12. after a friend opened up the car even a fool like me kan win sunday cup :D

wow thanks for this, if only 2003 me knew this

I always started with the FC RX-7.

Gt2 was such a good game I loved Seattle circuit with muscle cars

What an Amazing game Gran Turismo, the first of its kind to be the best of all times.

This popped up on my videos to watch but oh my god the nostalgia.

You can get a better lead on the rest of the pack if you set your front and rear down force to max on that car.

Real men start with the Starlet. SUUUUUGEEEE!

I remember doing this back in the day with my best friend at the time.

Played this with my brother. Good times 🥰. Our first car was a Mazda, I don't remember which one but it must have been either the MX-5, RX-7 or RX-8. It was most likely a red MX-5. Since that day I still have a crush on Mazda MX-5's lol. We'd grind the last race in Clubman Cup to get a Mercedes-Benz E class and Audi TT. With the Audi TT we did Trial Mountain Endurance and won a Denso Supra Sard. From there on, we used the Denso on everything we could haha. Still my most favorite car. We beat everything with that. Then we used the winning a price car and selling it to get whatever car we desired. 😁

My favorite challenge was acquiring the gold Toyota GT2000 from the first used car line-up. It won't come up again for a year's worth of weeks (each week refreshes the used list). It costs 160,000? Credits, but you only start with 10k. Each action (license or race) clicks off a day, so you have limited time to earn that much. It can be done, but it's a definite challenge. Accumulating the funds quickly is the challenge, not just the fewest races.

KZfaq Recommendations never cease to amaze me.

Wow, grinded so much in this game at the time

The physics are surprisingly impressive, they don't match the bad graphics, it's quite jarring. I remember thinking these graphics were amazing first time round lol.

GT2 sempre é show demais!

Then again with the Speed 12 you can actually modify the car by stripping out the weight which comes in 3 stages and replacing the Purple colour with either White and Blue or Yellow and Blue racing decals if you think about.

I've known about the speed 12 exploit from even before Halo 2 released

I remember grinding red rock for days straight lol back in elementary school I still play it to this day I’m 27. 😁

Lister Storm is terribly incompetent in this game... just like its IRL counterpart. xD

I can still hear (in my head) that Speed 12 redlining through the first four gears as the tires hunted for grip. (unsuccessfully I might add)

Good old memories, my younger brother had to help me when I don't get it 😅

I start every Gran Turismo getting all the licenses. I just like getting the formalities out of the way. I like that Speed 12 trick though.

You forgot about doing an oil change before any upgrades for more cheap power

Thanks by your video!!!

Nice! Before this My method of making money fast was grinding the Seattle Circuit 4WD event which only gave me 26k per race, and I'd have to win the race almost 40 times just to make a mil.

I used to do this except starting out with the used Supra bi turbo. I'd put a couple upgrades on at the very beginning, and win the Taevon Trampio (it was a Tahiti race too, I just forget which one). Then go directly to Red Rock and win that Speed 12 twice.

I usually go for the Daisin Silvia route in 5 races: sunny cup (because I need some money for sport tyres) then red rock valley for the Silvia, with that I can win the unisia r33

can't believe i found this because i remeber i used to break this game as a kid through the same end mean, my course was a bit different tho i won at that race using the prize car from the touring cars cup.

The good old Speed 12. I live a couple of miles down the road from where one would have been built. Dont think I ever saw one though, dont think it ever made full production.

"it's a very terrible car." *monocle pops out!*

I knew about the possibility of using this race to get top level cars fast but I have never done it so quickly. Let’s say that I wanted to win but also to do it comfortably. So, first I would get a used Toyota from the ‘80s which is easy to drive and play a few races until the car was at max power and min weight. Then I would play Tahiti road 4 times till I got the Special model of Mitsubishi FTO. This car is poweful enough to win this race without struggles and very easy to drive, then I would sell my first car and play Tahiti road 8 times to get 1,000,000 Credit. After that I would get the Toyota GT One, which is not so easy to drive but not so complicate either and I would do whatever I wanted. I really loved this car and between its unique look, power and maneuvrability was probably my favourite car in the game and my main target for the beginning of it. Worth to say that as a child I didn’t know about Le Mans race and that’s another reason why this car’s shape to me was unique. In 1999 however I was 7, so I preferred Penzoil or other top cars as I was not able to drive the Toyota GT One and other similar cars in the game.

Two player on this was so good!

Nice!

Dude, how to beat it in 2 races. Supra MA70 straight onto the 80’s sports cup on Tahiti, from there go straight to Apricot hill enduro and try winning that Viper GTSR. Then you’ll have 2 hella fast race cars that’ll handle great with slight adjustments, a shitload of money, and a good first car that can wipe out most of the first races

This looks like a speedrun to Escudo. Back in my days I used to grind the american muscle race but doing it for the lulz in a Honda Beat or Punto GT.

I love this game so much I didn't give a shit about winning the game. I used to just race every races and wonder what the prize car is. Then grinding credits for the modifications because I will buy all cars, used or new. God I loved my 300ZX so much.

The Speed 12 is actually a very good car, on the right hands, of course :P

13:01. My Favourite part. Because it was my favourite car in Gran Turismo ( until they changed it to the Cerbera Speed 12 ). I would race it against my buddy who is driving the Escudo, AND, still beat him. I loved the way it looked, and that it was such a handful. It DEFINITELY required some tuning though.

Thats exactly what I do to make money in the game. Im playing this game right now haha. Best GT ever.

الحمد لله على السمع والأبصار والأفئده Alhamdulillah for sight, hearing and heart.

If i recall correctly i used to do it by getting a nissan pulsar or either a 91' celica GT Four, depending on used cars garage RNG, they dont even need upgrades both 4x4 beasts affordable for under 10k

i remember pikes peek with that 981 ps car, with the huge ass spoiler xD

lol, that's literally the tactic I used back when the game was new xD

This is the exact same route I took to get the Pennzoil Nismo R34 GT-R so that I can compete in the JGTC Championship Race

This is even better than buying the Skyline GTS and racing Red Rock Valley in Gran Touring Car Trophey and sell the Daisin Silvia GT for 125,000!!!!

I was 17 or 18 when this came out damn I feel old

I think my vision got pixelated as I grew up because I don't remember this game looking like this back in the day.

This game was dope
