Gran Turismo 4/Arcade Mode

This is the Arcade Mode of Gran Turismo 4. Players are free to determine the race type (Single, Time Trial, 2P Battle, or LAN) in this mode.
After selecting a race type, the player chooses a track to race, from either World Circuits, Original Circuits, City Courses, and Dirt & Snow.
The player then chooses a car to race with before the Arcade Mode race starts.
The music playing in the Arcade Mode menus is "Light Velocity Ver. II", a remix of the original.
==Game Modes==
===Single Race===
In this mode, the player races against AI-controlled opponents and must finish 1st place to gain the designated A-spec points within a set number of laps.
===Time Trial===
In this mode, the player races alone in a designated track and must beat the target time of that track. The only exception to the rule is that there is no limit to the number of laps the player races.
===2P Battle===
The player races against another human player playing in the same location to determine which one of the two is faster.
===LAN===
The player races against another human player, but unlike 2P Battle, the opponent does not play the same location as you despite being a "local". A network connection or a LAN adapter is required to play this mode.

==Car selection==
When the player begins, only 240 rental cars, roughly a third of all the cars featured in the game, are available to the player. More cars are unlocked as the player acquires them in the Gran Turismo mode (at least once).
In theory, the maximum number of rental cars unlocked vary per region, such as:
* NTSC-U - 719 cars
* PAL - 727 cars
* NTSC-J - 710 cars
* Korean version - 
However, some limitations are applied to certain cars. If cars such as the Nike ONE 2022 and the Toyota Motor Triathlon Race Car '04 are used in a race, the player will face only one opponent car instead of the usual five. This limitation is also applied to most convertible cars (for example, the Mercedes-Benz SL 600 (R230) '04 and TVR Griffith 500 '94), but only if the Open roof option (dubbed as "Convertible" in the NTSC-U version of the game) is selected in the "Driving Options" menu, right after selecting the color of the car. If the Closed roof option is selected, no limitations will be applied on the number of opponents.
An even tighter limitation is applied to the Ford Model T Tourer '15, the Jay Leno Tank Car '03, the Mercedes-Benz Patent Motor Wagen 1886 and Mercedes-Benz Daimler Motor Carriage 1886. These four cars can only be used in Time Trial mode.
The Nissan SILEIGHTY '98 is not designated under the Nissan manufacturer section in the car selection, and is only found when cars are sorted by era, under 1998.
The Audi Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline '37 cannot be unlocked as a rental car in Arcade Mode, even if the player acquires it in the Gran Turismo mode.
