Gran Turismo
Easy Money:
The easiest way to gain extra credits is to race and win each Cup or
Challenge more than once, and then sell the extra Bonus Cars you
receive.
NOTE: If you sell a prize car to it's original dealership you get
$200,000 extra for it!

Free Parts:
It seems there is a bug in GT which means you can make free duplicate
copies of any parts you buy for a particular type of car. Try this:
1.Buy two identical cars. Give them a different color scheme if you
like.
2.Buy loads of parts for the first one - fully spec it up if you like.
3.Check out its list of fitted parts from the garage (you should see a
list of what you just bought).
4.Switch to the other car and get in it (the one which you haven't
fitted any parts on yet) and check its fitted parts list (should be
empty).
5.Still in the second car, go race (Spot Race will do).
6.When you get options to qualify, go to Machine Setting, then Change
Parts. You'll now find you can select all the parts from the other
car, tyres, turbos, suspension, intercooler etc, in effect fully
spec'ing up the second car.
7.Exit the race, and go back to the garage. Check out the list of
fitted parts for both cars. The parts are now installed for both of
them!
NOTE: This won't work for the Weight Reduction or Racing Mod options
and a few other things (like port polishing), as these are not
available from the Change Parts menu - they're not really "parts" as
such anyway. Also, it doesn't seem to work with cars that have been
won.
Of course the best thing you can do with this is sell the extra cars.
As it cost you nothing to increase its specs, you'll make a profit
when you sell it!

Hi-Fi Mode, Bonus Cars and Bonus Tracks:
To get all the bonus items in Arcade mode, which include the four
other tracks (Autumn Ring, Deep Forest, SSR5, and Grand Valley
Speedway), all the other cars (Toyota, Subaru, Dodge, and TVR), the
ending movie, and Hi-res GT Mode, you have to beat every single track
with each type of car (A, B, and C) under all three modes of
difficulty (Easy, Normal, Difficult.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden Video of the GT Staff:
In Arcade Mode, first get the hidden tracks, then, on every track,
take 1st place with any car in A,B, and C class mode on Normal setting
or higher. Then go to Bonus Items, you'll see "Staff Video" on the
menu.

Really Easy Money:
To get alot of money very easily, buy the Viper GTS. Don't make any
adjustments to it. Then go to the commercial cars championship under
the Special Events menu. Use the Viper. You'll easily blow away all
the other competition. And just for winning one race you get $50,000
and for winning the championship you get $100,000. If you place first
in every race, get the pole-positions, and win the championship you'll
recieve $400,000 in total. That's alot of money!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replay Mode Tip:
Are you having trouble beating the license tests? Well, you won't
anymore. Go to the replay theater in the main screen, and check out
the demonstration movies. They will show you how to beat all the
license tests!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Win the Concept Car:
To get the Concept car, enter the American vs. British race and place
first in the championship. The second way to get the Concept Car is by
earning the gold prize on each of the 7 B-Lisence preliminary tests
and on the final test.
