Single Race[]

Single Race is a one-player mode. Here the player chooses a car and a track for a two-lap race against 5 AI opponents of the same class. Once a difficulty level is chosen; Easy, Normal, or Difficult, the player is presented with a selection of manufacturers. Each manufacturer has a different list of cars that the player can choose, and all cars are divided into three classes; A, B, and C. At first, only six manufacturers are available, other manufacturers must be unlocked by winning races in all three classes at any difficulty level. A full list of these manufacturers can be found at the bottom of this page. Once the car is selected, the player must choose a track. At the start, only four tracks (High Speed Ring,Trial Mountain Circuit, Grand Valley East, and Clubman Stage Route 5) are available to the player. Like the manufacturers, new circuits must be unlocked via the same method.

Time Trial[]

Like Single Race, Time Trial allows the player to choose a car and a track, but instead of racing against other cars, the player will start a two-lap time trial, attempting to set and then beat their lap records.

2 Player Battle[]

Two player Battle is a game mode that allow two players to race together. Car and track selection are otherwise the same as Single Race.

Bonus Items[]

In Bonus Items (Goodies in the NTSC-J version), the player can view any unlocked content for this game mode. The player can also access the Ending Movie and the GT HiFi mode in this section, these are available once the player wins on all eight circuits on Normal and Difficult levels, respectively.
