1. On first-time startup, the game will look for a GT-R 400 gamesave on the memory card in slot 1 and, when it sees that there is none, will ask if you want to start the game or check another memory card. Press [X] to start the game (note that this assumes that the memory card in slot 1 has at least 142K free space).
2. Press [START] when asked to. You'll then be presented with the main menu which includes SINGLE PLAYER, GAME RECORDS, and OPTIONS. When starting a new gamesave, it's usually a good idea to set your preferences, and you can do so now by choosing the OPTIONS item. Note that, if you've changed any settings on any of the screens (Gameplay, Controller, Audio, or Visual), you'll need to choose Save before exiting those screens. It's also important to note that your progress through the game (lap records and unlocked items) is saved automatically, so be sure to heed the warning about not removing a memory card while the game is running.
3. SINGLE PLAYER includes Quick Race, Championship, and Time Trial. At this stage, Quick Race probably won't be very useful since only the cars and tracks that have already been unlocked will be available. In general, I'd recommend starting in Championship mode since that's where both tracks and cars can be unlocked. Alternatively, if you're familiar with the Gran Turismo series and you enjoy doing license tests, you also have the option of starting in Time Trial mode. Although the Time Trials won't unlock any tracks, they will unlock cars.
4. GAME RECORDS includes Lap Records and Game Progress. Lap Records is where you can view your best lap time in each of the 5 different car types on each of the 16 different tracks. Game Progress includes Cars Unlocked, Tracks Unlocked, and Trophies Won.

• Quick Race. This mode is similar to the Arcade mode found in other racing games. Unlike in most other racing games, however, there are no cars or tracks available other than the ones that have already been unlocked. Initially, you'll have the choice of 2 versions of the Mosler production car and 2 versions of the Woodcote track. More cars and tracks can be unlocked in Championship mode, while Time Trial mode offers an additional way to unlock more cars but no tracks.
• Statistics. GT-R 400 includes 5 base cars in 24 liveries, for a total of 24 unique cars. There are 5 venues, 3 of which have 2 versions, and all of which have reverse (R) versions, for a total of 16 tracks. All of the tracks except Atlanta (R) are used in the Time Trial challenges. There are 3 championships for production cars and 3 championships for GT cars, for a total of 6 championships.
