Officially there are 180 cars, however, two cars from the Japanese version, the Honda CR-X del Sol SiR and VGi '95, were both removed from the American and European versions. Credits earned by winning championships can be used to purchase additional vehicles, and for parts and tuning of all vehicles. Winning one particular championship also unlocks a video and a few additional demonstration tracks. However, Simulation Mode requires the player to earn progressively more difficult levels of driver's licenses in order to qualify for events, and earn credits, trophies, and prize cars by winning race championships. In Arcade Mode, the player can choose a car and track from the available selection and start a race against AI opponents, where winning races on different tracks and in different vehicle classes will unlock more cars to use and more tracks to race on. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Simulation (or GT) Mode.
