I’ve been playing Gran Turismo 2 for a while and am ready to move on before I burn myself out. But I’ve been getting requests to check out this mod called “Project A-Spec”. Do the new cars and changes to the main campaign keep the experience fresh? And is it worth trying?

Notes:
The calculations I made for the number of races without power limits covered GT League and Special Events only. Factoring in Rally and Endurance, the numbers jump to 20 events and 55 races in A-Spec. And no, one-make races do not count.

Also, don’t ask me if it’ll run on real PS1 hardware. It’d be cool to see, but the A-Spec team has other fish to fry with the 1.2 mod release and a GT2-inspired fan game with Japanese GT cars.

Gameplay captured in Duckstation with a 60fps patch and ReShade applied.
