Then, go to "Single Race", choose any difficulty level, and place first in each of the four original levels with an A class car e.g., Mitsubishi GTO, a B class car e.g., Mitsubishi Eclipse, and a C class car (ex: Honda Civic 3-Door).

Hints
In arcade mode, winning first place, on any of the original four tracks, in all three classes of vehicles (a, b, c} will open a new track ( a total of four). If you come in first on all eight tracks, in all classes of vehicles, on the EASY difficulty setting, four new car manufacters will be available for you to choose from (Toyota, Subaru, Dodge, including a concept car, and TVR). If you win first on all eight tracks, in all classes of vehicles, on the NORMAL difficulty setting, a cheesy movie and the game credits will be available.
Break the sound barrier in GT
Select a 4WD car. Start and get some speed. Hit a wall at 90 degree. Hold the throttle open. Now your car is stopped, wheels spinning and smoking. Slightly steer to whichever you want to go. Suddenly your car is accelerated. Try to keep your car sticking to the wall so that the acceleration continue.
Easy Start
This game is very different than GT, you don't win Cups anymore, you have to race tracks one by one. Also, most of the races are limited to a certain HP. The first races you should take are the Sunday Cup and the Clubman Cup. Buy a used R32 Skyline and tune it enough to have a lot of HP. Race all of the races and keep gaining money.
Easy Money and Cars
First,you must have at least 300,000 now and an I-A liscense. Buy a Mitsubishi 3000GT MR-Twin Turbo and tune it to the max. Go to Special Events and enter the No#1 Tuned Turbo Car World Cup. All the races here pay 50,000, but are kinda hard. Pick the one with the Test Course. The cars here are unforgiving so make sure you tune your car to go to at least 210 MPH. Race 3 consecutive times and you will win the second ultimate car the HKS R33 Drag. Which sells for 250,000.
License tests guide
