Gran Turismo 5/Arcade Mode

Arcade mode is the Quick Race or Play Now equivalent of this game. Here you jump right into action. At the main menu, you see several options. Quick Race, One Make Race, Time Trial, and 2P Battle. When racing against AI, there are three difficulty settings; Begginer, Intermediate, and Expert.

Quick Race
This mode pits you against several AI in a flat-out race. No tricks here.

One Make Race
Similar to Quick Race, except that the AI uses the same car you use, for more even competion.

Drift Trial
Here you drift for points. There are two modes, Sector, and Whole Track.

Time Trial
In this mode, you race against the clock. There is no set time to beat, only your own. This mode is great for familiarizing with the track.

2P Battle
Race against a friend in a old-sckool split-screen battle!

Car Select
Now you must select a car. The car select screen has a scrolling bar full of cars. There are three options there. You can select from the arcade defaults, pick a favorite from Simulation, or find a car exported from the PSP version. In the upper right, you see the country, and type(regular or premium). In the right you see the cars stats.

Track Select
Now you can pick a track. The layout is carried over from the car select screen. You can select from Original(Polyphony made), World, City, Dirt and Snow, and Course Maker. The stats are in the right, too.

Now lets race!!!
