To do: Unused audio More regional differences; find out more about this "Readme" menu in the Japanese versions. The original Japanese release also contains a second disc.

Before Gran Turismo drove onto the PlayStation, there was the Motor Toon Grand Prix series, which was also about cars and driving, but instead of meticulously realistic vehicles, you drive around in toon cars.

This game was originally called Motor Toon Grand Prix 2 and is the sequel to a 1994 Japan exclusive PS1 racing game.

Regional Differences#
