This game historical importance can't be denied, I played it a few weeks but decided to shelved it to pick it up again when I finish Gran Turismo 2, but it gave me a first good impresion, I truly appreciate that runs more smoothly than its sequel. I would not recommend this as an entry title in the series, but for I have seen online you can complete this game faster than other main games on the series.

É muito doido pensar que lá em 1997 um certo japonês - que muito facilmente vai virar um dos meus favoritos quando o assunto é criar jogos - junto da sua equipe implementou mecânicas de customização absurdas, centenas de carros e gráficos estilosos pra época em um hardware com 2MB de RAM e 1MB de VRAM.
It's incredibly rough, the handling is far too slippery in a bid to emulate 'realism', and the car list is impressive for the time but far outdone by any other title from the same series. Nevertheless, it's an incredibly valuable game due to the fact that it basically birthed the modern racing sim genre.
By emulation and using the 60 fps hack, the game is surprisingly plays okay. The physics are still very bouncy, but it's at least unique to this game along with the suspension exploit. It's also a bit funny to see a very limited car selection of early to mid 90's cars. I got a used Mitsu GTO twin turbo early on and kept using till the end of the game.
