Trivia
Development
Although
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec is more advanced in the graphics department than
Gran Turismo 2,
GT2 featured around 500 cars and 27 tracks.
GT3 has 19 tracks and around 150 cars. This was due to time constraints; the extra detail that developers went to when developing vehicles and tracks for
GT3 made the scope of
GT2 an unrealistic goal.
