===Single player and Multiplayer===
Players can create custom races, alter the difficulty level, change the number of opponents (up to seven), the cars the opponents are driving, traffic density, and driving direction in a similar style as Need for Speed: High Stakes.
* Quick Race - Players can drive in standard races at a location of their choice.
* Quick Knockout - The driver in last position is eliminated after each lap until there is only one driver remaining.
* Knockout - The driver in last position is eliminated after each event until there is only one driver remaining.
Players can participate in Multiplayer modes across the Internet, LAN, or peer to peer (modem or IP) games.
 
===Factory Driver===
Factory Driver puts players in the role of official Porsche test drivers. Players are given various simple tasks such as performing 360 degree spins before being able to sign with Porsche. Players will need to deliver cars and take part in races after being signed on to Porsche. They also need to beat challenges from other test drivers, such as slaloms through parts of tracks, or test cars from the team's mechanic. The Factory Driver in the PC version greatly differs from the PSX version.
 
===Evolution===
In the Evolution mode players purchase and race cars in a series of tournaments and club meeting events. Each is divided into three eras: Classic Era, Golden Era, and Modern Era. Players start from the introduction of the Porsche 356 1100 to the debut of the Porsche 911 Turbo (996). Most tournaments differ in difficulty level, the fee for entry, and the number of tracks and course types.
