Understand Gran Turismo 2 game days, turbo kit limitations, and used car HP variations. Learn how the game simulates real-world car buying.

Game Days Explained: Game days in Gran Turismo 2 are not a measure of actual playtime. Instead, each day is added every time you attempt to enter a race. This includes navigating through menus to the "START RACE" screen, even if you exit without racing. Entering the License area and exiting just before starting a test also adds a day. It's possible to complete all 10 tests for a specific license and exit the menu without adding extra days, potentially allowing you to earn all 6 licenses in just 6 days.

Turbo Kit Limitations: Turbo kits can only be purchased for cars that already have a turbocharger. Naturally aspirated (N/A) cars, such as the CRX, cannot have turbo kits installed in the game, even if they are available aftermarket in real life.

Motorsports Land: Motorsports Land is accessible in Arcade Mode after obtaining certain licenses. The specific license required to unlock it is not detailed but can be found by checking your arcade bonuses for the track name if you have all licenses. Motorsports Land is exclusively available in Time Trial mode.

Used Car Horsepower and Value: In Gran Turismo 2, used cars may have more horsepower than their listed rating. This is a simulation of real-world unpredictability when buying pre-owned vehicles. The listed horsepower is the advertised rating when the car was new. Prices for the same car model can vary due to factors like color, wear and tear, or modifications. The actual horsepower of a used car can differ from the listed rating, mirroring real-life scenarios where a car's condition or modifications affect its performance.

Car Depreciation: Similar to real life, Gran Turismo 2 incorporates car depreciation. When you purchase a car and drive it off the lot, its value decreases by several thousand dollars immediately.

Player 2 Mode: The situation in Player 2 mode where the loser must finish the race to end the game is an intended design feature by the developers, not a glitch.

The Kiddie Prize: The Kiddie Prize is not considered a glitch but rather a potential secret reward for lucky players, suggesting programmers may have added it as a playful element.

Floating Glitch: The
