Gran Turismo Sport/Arcade Mode

Arcade Mode is the secondary racing mode of Gran Turismo Sport. An alternative to the main Campaign Mode, the Arcade Mode of GT Sport is primarily designed as a quick way to play the game.
==Modes of Play==
Gran Turismo Sport features 5 single-player and one multiplayer arcade modes:
*Single Race
*Time Trial
*Drift Trial
*Custom Race
*2 Player Battle
*VR Tour
== Car selection ==
Only eight cars (five on dirt tracks) are available to rent in GT Sport's Arcade Mode, namely the following:
* Mazda Roadster S (ND) '15
* Toyota 86 GT '15
* Volkswagen Golf VII GTI '14
* Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition '14
* BMW M4 Coupé '14 (not available on dirt tracks)
* Lexus RC F Gr.4 (not available on dirt tracks)
* Mercedes-AMG GT3 (AMG-Team HTP-Motorsport) '16 (not available on dirt tracks)
* Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Final Edition Gr.B Rally Car
These eight cars can be used right away, but are only limited to manufacturer-spec factory colors and that tuning is not possible with these cars. You will still earn credits and XP if you drive them, however. Other than that, there is no possible way to unlock the rest of the cars in the game for use in this game mode as rental cars.
There is also an option to use cars obtained and collected from your Garage, meaning any car purchased in Brand Central, special cars through Mileage Exchange or those obtained through other means can be used here with the full benefits of tuning and the use of custom liveries before accessing Arcade Mode. However, players cannot change between manufacturer-specific colors with cars you own (unless said colors are recreated in the Livery Editor).
==Single Race==
Single Race allows the player to race against other AI opponents on any track using their Garage car or any of the 8 selected available vehicles that can be use by default. Once the player picks a track, there are three different difficulties to choose from: Beginner, Intermediate, and Professional. At first, only three tracks are available. However, the the rest of tracks can be unlock via leveling up by playing the game. At the end of each race, depending on the difficulty, a notification will appear on the top right of the screen saying that the course's difficulty has been cleared. Lastly, the prize credits can be vary depending on the difficulty setting the player had chosen.
There are no prizes for completing all the tracks, however.
==Time Trial==
Time Trial allows the player to drive alone on the track. The main purpose of this game mode is for testing out tuning setups and vehicle performance, as well as practicing the track outside of racing events.
At the end of the time trial run, depending on how many laps the player had done, prize credits and XP will be earned. Mileage points and Daily Workout progress are also earned if the player is online.
==Drift Trial==
In Drift Trial, the objective is to gain points through drifting around corners, which are essentially losing grip of the car while keeping it under control with style. They are awarded based on the following criteria:
*Angle
*:The angle at which the car is drifting (the "drift angle") is evaluated, relative to what the racing line would be using ordinary grip. If the drift angle increases beyond a certain point, the car will be deemed to have entered a spin, and the player's drift points for the sector will be lost.
*Distance from the Record Line
*:The player will be evaluated on his/her ability to trace the ideal racing line (using ordinary grip). The further away from the Record Line the player stray, the fewer points the player will accumulate.
*Speed
*:The speed of the car during the drift will be evaluated. The higher the speed, the more points the player will accumulate.
*Duration
*:The duration of the drift is evaluated. Performing a drift that scores highly according to criteria 1-3 and sustaining it for a long time is the best way to quickly rack up a lot of points.
Oval tracks are not available in this game mode.
Because of the nature of this game mode, any car can be used in this mode, a rear-wheel drive car is heavily recommended. All-wheel drives can also be used (preferably with a rear bias). Front-wheel drive cars are strongly not recommended.
==Custom Race==
Custom Race allows the player to fully customize how they want the race to be setup. The player can use their own Garage vehicle or available selected cars. The outcome of a race with pending payouts can vary. The player can earn a large amount of credits if it's set to either multiple laps or an endurance race.
==2 Player Battle==
2 Player Battle allows 2 players to play split screen on the same television and console.
Once a track is selected, both players simply choose a car (either from the player's garage or from selected available cars) and start the race.
==VR Tour==
The VR Tour mode is an immersive 3D driving experience, complete with a 360-degree view. To enjoy the VR Tour feature, the player must have a PlayStation VR and a PlayStation Camera connected to the PlayStation 4 console. If the player enters the mode without the required equipment connected or detected, the game will prompt the player to connect the required devices until they are detected.
There are two modes in VR Tour mode: VR Showroom and VR Drive. The VR Showroom mode displays a car of the player's choice (the body color can also be selected) in a 3D space with a 360-degree view, while the VR Drive mode allows the player to race against one AI driver or in a single-car time trial immersively, as if the player is actually inside the car.
Note that cars that do not feature fully-modeled interiors cannot be used in the VR Tour mode:
* Aston Martin DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo
* BMW Vision Gran Turismo
* Infiniti CONCEPT Vision Gran Turismo
* IsoRivolta Zagato Vision Gran Turismo
* Lexus LF-LC GT "Vision Gran Turismo"
