[edit] Cover

I have to say I have never seen a cover like the one displayed in the aricle. The version I have is a picture of a tyre with Gran Turismo written in the middle. Can someone explain what is going on? Atlantis Hawk 11:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The cover in the article is the North American cover. Japan used a different cover and the one with the tyre on it was the European release. 81.168.43.232 14:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I removed this section, as it appears be more of a "personal rant" rather than trivia anyone would be interested it reading:

  • The starting grid lights never change at the beginning of a race
  • The reverse lights do not work on any car

As a member of Gran Turismo-based forums, these complaints always surface, yet nobody mentions them as trivia. "Trivia" would likely be popular cultural references, so feel free to re-include them to Wikipedia if some exist.

[edit] Physics

One of GT's selling points was that it was among the first console games to actually shoot for some level of realism in its driving model. Obviously what was possible on a PSX is not even close to what you can do on the 360 or PS3 but some discussion on this, if anyone has info on its driving model, and just how complex it really is, would be both relevant and interesting. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.210.17.33 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gran Turismo Screenshot.jpg

Image:Gran Turismo Screenshot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
