Beyond The Horizon is a custom scenario for Racing Construction (or Mageru Tsukeru Hahiiru: Ore * Dead Heat) released by @patrick_ebonos . Racing Construction allows you to create your own racing game within it's editor, customising the cars, making your own tracks, laying out how the player will progress, writing the dialogue, and so on. I've always wondered what people would have created with this game back when it was released and as unlikely as I am to find a database of peoples custom creations, there is at least "Beyond The Horizon" here as a proof of concept that a racing game really can be made using this.
Of course not being a native Japanese speaker, I can't really enjoy the custom creation here to its full potential. But I can at least showcase some of the races through the quick race option! So here's 4 custom tracks from the scenario.

![Lambo Loophole - Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (Japan) - JLOC NOMAD Diablo [Shiros Showroom]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yH7ZiifxOeA/mqdefault.jpg "Lambo Loophole - Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (Japan) - JLOC NOMAD Diablo [Shiros Showroom]
More Japan only racers! This time the well known NOMAD Diablo from GT3 A-Spec Japan. Originally included in the Japanese release under license from JLOC (Japanese Lamborghini Owners Club) not Lamborghini itself which was a bit of a legal loophole, it was stripped from the US and PAL releases after uncertainty, being initially debadged during localisation before being hidden entirely in US, and completly removed in PAL altogether.

Of course me being me, regional restrictions be damned! I fancied a go in it myself so over the past week whilst getting over a cough and cold Ive been zooming away on the Japanese release of GT3 to get my paws on it. And its oddly the most competent JGTC racer in the field! Despite always seeming to come at the back of the pack when under CPU control, ah well...
Car: Lamborghini NOMAD Diablo GT-1 00
Unlock Method: Win the Professional All Japan GT Championship (25% chance) / Win the Mistral 78 Laps Endurance Race (25% chance)
Shiros Showroom is a series where I show specific cars from games. It might be a secret/hidden/final car, or just one I quite like!
[ Music is left in to preserve the feel and nostalgia of the game, but this means itll likely get copyright hit, apologies for that! ]
