Gran Turismo 7 has now been released but I still want to continue my playthroughs of all the previous GT games as well, so that I will eventually have 100% completion in all of them. Here you can see me completing the event generator races in the simulation mode of Gran Turismo 2.

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 when they were new. Now around the release of GT7 I want to revisit GT 1-3 and also play through GT 4-6 for the first time, recording full playthroughs of all 6 original games.

In this video I am doing some races with the event generator, which we unlocked by getting the S license. You have to complete one easy race, one normal race, one hard race and one expert championship to get the completion points for this section. The generator picks random tracks and road car opponents for you.

I decided to do the races with some of the tuned road cars that we won throughout the playthrough. For the expert championship I gave myself an extra challenge by using the Mine's Evo, which has an infamously low top speed, so it can be difficult to stay in the lead with it on long straights.

Now I have completed 100% of the simulation mode in Gran Turismo 2. And not only that. I was able to do it in the minimum number of days (without replaying any event and by doing every license in a single session) AND used a thematically fitting car for every single cup, even where the restrictions didn't require it. I wasn't sure beforehand if it would be possible to do this without running out of money but I was able to pull it off and I am proud of having completed this playthrough.

I will continue to play the game to unlock the alternative prize cars and create an awesome savegame for myself for whenever I want to show off some of the awesome cars from Gran Turismo 2.

I still have a lot of things to complete in GT 3, 4, 5 and 6 and I will probably focus on 5 and 6 first, since for 3 and 4 I have some 100% savegames that I can use for showing off cars, so I will probably finish those playthroughs last. And of course I will also continue to do all the new events that are being released in GT7.

Here you can find the full playlist of my 100% playthrough of GT2 with fitting cars used for every cup and getting all of the license test gold medals: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlk-blXREIdhPLvE2fnYZUSvbXaX7KN-E
