First of all, it should be said that we can get a free birthday car. To do this, we need to connect to the PS Network. Next, create a new PSN account. As the date of birth, enter the current month and day. The year of birth indicated by us will determine the approximate date of the creation of the gift car. After that, we enter the game using GT Mode. As a result, we get a gift car coupon. This trick can be repeated several times. Now consider how to get a Formula GT car. The game provides the only opportunity to do this. We have to go to the used car store regularly. An assortment changes there every five days. Now let's try to get additional power from the engine. First of all, we buy or
win a car without a run. Change the engine oil. Such a decision forever adds a few horsepower. Let's figure out how to save time on gear changes. Automatic transmission will help. Hold R2. This must be done using an automatic transmission. We will remain at the same speed. This technique saves time during acceleration, during the passage of especially sharp turns. Now let's talk about hidden rewards in the game. First of all, Falling Objects should be discussed. To receive this award, we strive to ensure that any part falls off the car on the go. For example, a door. It is extremely easy to fulfill the specified condition in rally competitions. The next award is Rollover. To get it, you need to achieve a car revolution of as much as 360 degrees. In this case, he must get on wheels, and also cross the finish line. With the greatest ease, you can achieve the desired effect on a rally track called Trial Mountain. This will require a sharp S-shaped turn. There is another hidden reward called Honda. It was created with particular ingenuity. To get it, go to the photo mode on a track called Tokyo on R246 track and take a picture of an arbitrary Honda car, which is located in the main office of the company. Representation can be found on the left side at the finish line of the exit from the corresponding pit stop. Now discuss the hidden award Picture Exclusive. To get it, we take a photo of an unusual person, being on a track called Kyoto's Gion district. Note that for such a picture, the guy who is standing to the left of the hill is ideal. We use autofocus and zoom so that the person’s face gets into the frame when he looks in our direction. We create a photo - and our hidden reward. Now consider how to get a Portraitist. To get this hidden reward, we take a picture of a girl holding a mobile phone. At the same time, she should sit on a bench. It will allow us to find the second photolocation.
