A (hopefully) quick series of random facts and oddities about Gran Turismo.

Part 2: youtu.be/kIeSFugwH-4

I'll try to cover the 3 main regions: PAL, NTSC-USA, NTSC-J.

In this video, I'm showing a little something about the Arcade mode in our dear PAL and USA versions. It seems that with the fun arcade-specific (jumpy) tracks, we also gained a "slight (permanent) handicap" consisting of a speed multiplier, a grip multiplier, and increased acceleration/power.

I included a run with the Impreza Rally Edition in Gran Turismo mode (pal version) as some kind of benchmark. As you will see/have seen, PAL and USA arcade modes are just OP.

I legitimately finished arcade mode last week (2nd week of january 2015) on the PAL and Japan versions. I cheated to unlock the cars on the USA.
But apart from that, NO CHEATS WERE USED IN THIS VIDEO.

Random fact: Although I cut the music in the option menu, the Japanese soundtrack still ran in arcade mode. At least I didn't have to add music myself :)
