Gran Turismo 2 flywheel upgrades: Sports, Semi-Racing, and Racing types. Learn their effects on acceleration and revs.
Sports Flywheel
A lightweight flywheel made with chrome molybdenum steel. It lets the engine rev more quickly, improving acceleration slightly. However, with narrow-powerband engines, revs may drop below the powerband unless a close-ratio transmission is also used.
Semi-Racing Flywheel
Even lighter than the sports type, this flywheel is especially designed for racing. It makes for a quick-revving engine. It improves acceleration slightly, but with narrow-powerband engines, revs may drop below the powerband even more easily unless a close-ratio transmission is also used.
Racing Flywheel
A super-lightweight flywheel exclusively for racing. It makes for a quick-revving engine that also drops revs quickly. It improves acceleration and deceleration, but with narrow-powerband engines, revs may drop below the powerband unless a close-ratio transmission is also used and the driver can master the proper shifting technique.
- Consider a close-ratio transmission when upgrading to a Semi-Racing or Racing flywheel, especially if your car has a narrow-powerband engine.
- Mastering proper shifting technique is crucial when using a Racing flywheel with a narrow-powerband engine.
