Gran Turismo

The Save and Load feature in Gran Turismo allows you to save/load your general progress throughout the game. This feature requires 5 blocks of memory, with the exception of Car Settings. If your memory card does not meet the requirement of 5 open spaces, you will not be able to save a game. Saving a game in Gran Turismo will take up a third of your memory card. The Saving and loading feature is included in both Arcade and Simulation Mode. All in all, this game takes up 5 blocks of memory space, whether you are only saving arcade data, simulation data, and replay data, with the exception of Car settings. Car Setting data requires an additional, but separate, two blocks of memory. (You can save up to 120 different car settings)

Once you have sett your parts at where you like choose Save Settings.. to save the car settings. Once you have chose this option you will be given a choice to either save the data in slot 1 or 2.

Saving car settings allows you to customise your car according to the type of course and track you are up against.

Before you begin a qualify run for a race or a race, you can then load previous saved settings for your car. You can only load settings for a specific car. In other words, you can not load settings for a Honda Civic if they are for a Toyota Corolla.

Save Replay and Save Ghost

In replay mode, you can see and view replays you have saved from either Arcade or Simulation Mode. Once you have completed a race you can save its replay.

Load Ghost allows you to race against your own previous lap time in Trial mode. A ghost car is a rival car that is transferred from previous Time Trial replay data to the current Time Trial race. Only Replay data from a previous race run in time trial mode and on the same course as the one currently selected can be used to generate ghost cars. If a ghost has been saved on a certain track, before you race you will be given the option to load it.
