Gran Turismo 1 - Playthrough Part 11 - UK vs US Cup

Gran Turismo 7 might be coming out at the end of the year with the release of the PS5, so I want to try to do a full playthrough of all the previous Gran Turismo games until then. Here you can see me completing the UK vs US in the simulation mode of Gran Turismo 1.

Timeline:
0:59 UK vs US Cup Starting Lineup
1:18 UK vs US Cup - Trial Mountain Reverse with Dodge Viper GTS-R
6:26 UK vs US Cup - Special Stage Route 5 with Dodge Viper GTS-R
11:26 UK vs US Cup - High Speed Ring with Dodge Viper GTS-R
15:11 UK vs US Cup - Grand Valley East Reverse with Dodge Viper GTS-R
19:22 UK vs US Cup - Special Stage Route 11 with Dodge Viper GTS-R
26:18 UK vs US Cup Reward Car

Gran Turismo has always been one of my favorite racing game franchises and I played the first 3 games of the series when they first came out. After that I moved to PC though, so I never got to play GT 4-6. This year I want to try to revisit GT 1-3 and also play through GT 4-6 for the first time. I am not sure if I will manage to get all of it done but I will see how far I can get.

In this video I am doing the UK vs US Cup, where I am using the Viper that we won in the previous championship. This car is very powerful but it can be a bit hard to keep under control, especially on the night tracks. It feels like the car has a bit less traction there, maybe to simulate the colder tires at night.

The AI is very inconsistent in this cup. On the first track the TVRs are way behind. Then in the final race one of them is suddenly so fast that even with wallriding he isn't that easy to beat.

As a reward car I got the race version of the Dodge Concept Car here, which is the best car in the game. The other possible reward car would have been a Mazda RX-7.

In the next video I will be doing the final country-based A license championship with the UK vs Japan Cup.
