Selecting series awards
Series awards (i.e., cars) are not purely random. Press [X] when a silhouetted car has the large black circle flashing under it to cause that car to be selected as the award for winning the series. Timing is crucial, since the large black circle only appears under a car for less than half a second. If you are too slow, the next car to get the large black circle will be selected.
You can get unlimited F1 cars by playing endurance races, as you can win prize cars from those races unlimited times. To select a prize car, press [X] when the black circle is under the car of your choice.
To get the series car of your choice, just race all the races in series mode, not single. Save before the last race. Do not exit the series -- use the save function shown after the race is done. Then, start and quit the last race. If you have enough points from previous races you should still win the series, then continue to where they award the series prize. If you get a car you do not want, just exit the game, go back to the title screen, then load. The game will start from the last race you saved at. Quit the last race then continue onto the series and repeat until you get the desired car.
Professional mode
Select arcade mode, then highlight the "Hard" selection on the difficulty selection screen. Hold [L1] + [R1] until it changes to "Professional".

Hints
Saving money
Do not waste money on upgrading the first few cars you have in the game. Instead, practice being a better driver. Wait until you win a car with some real potential until you upgrade. For example, start out with a Mazda Miata, but do not upgrade. Use it to win a Mazda RX-7 Effini 3, then upgrade.

Use the remaining money to put in all four turbo kits along with any other desired upgrades. The Skyline will get up to about 1000 hp and reach speeds of 220 to 230 mph. The RX-7 will get about 700 to 800 hp and get up to 180 to 190 mph. Use either of these cars to complete the Super Speedway Endurance race, in which you get 200,000 credits for winning along with an good car. You may win the Tickford, The Cliosport race car, the Corvette C5R, or the F090/s Indy car. You can repeat this and sell the cars for about 250,000 to 300,000 credits. You can make up to 500,000 credits in a little over an hour.
Obtain or buy an Escudo. Get in it and head over to Professional League. Go to the Turbo Sports race and enter into the Test Track course. Use tape or a rubber band to hold the [Gas] down. Wait until the race is over. Your Escudo will use the walls as a guide to go around the track. It will only hit the walls on turns. A fully clocked out Escudo is at least 280 mph, so you will not loose. Remember to equip Slick Tires.
An extremely fast car is needed for this hint to be effective (for example, a Mustang SVT Cobra upgraded to 716 hp). Obtain an IB license and go to the Amateur League. Select "Gran Turismo All Stars" and select "Test Course". Race it repeatedly for an easy 25,000 credits if you win. Note: Cars on this course will reach speeds of over 215 mph.
Participate in the Super Speedway Endurance race with an F1 car. To finish the course faster, instead of using the walls as guides, try to make the turns. If you bump into the walls it will not be a problem. Pit every ten laps and you will easily win a car that is worth a lot.
Get a fast car and go to the European Championship in the Amateur League. Get first place in the first four races and save the game before you start the fifth race. Start the fifth race. While the cars are revving up, press [Start] and exit the race. You will have enough points to win the championship, so there is no need to complete the last race. You will win a total of 30,000 credits your first place standing in the first four races, 20,000 credits for winning the championship, and a chance to win the Gillet Vertigo (worth 300,000 credits). If you do not get the Gillet Vertigo when you win, return to the title screen and select "Load game". You will return to the end of the fourth race again. You will now have another chance at the Vertigo. After you eventually get the Vertigo, sell it and go back to the European Championship and repeat the entire process.
After obtaining an IA license, start a two hour Rome endurance race with an inexpensive car. Go around the track once, however before crossing the start finish line, stop the car. In the event you cross the start finish line, go around again. If necessary, hold the emergency brake button with a rubber band in order to prevent the car from moving. Return two hours later and complete your lap to finish the race for 10,000 credits.
To start out, you have little choice of cars, but the PT Cruiser has the most hp and can win the first three races in the Sunday Cup without any mods. After winning these a few times and getting the free car, you can begin adding mods to the car. As you progress through Beginner League, keep adding money to the car while selling all the free cars. There is no reason to sell the PT and get something else. It can be beefed up to a max of 322 hp with top speeds well over 160 mph. With the right suspension mods, it can easily outrun and out handle any car in the Beginner League. The total cost is 150,000 to 215,000 credits. To get to the big money, you will have to finally get rid of the PT. It will not keep up with the competition in the good races in Amateur or Pro Leauges. The next best value is the Corvette Z06, and this car will carry you to the Endurance Races. This car only costs 54,000 credits to start, and will need some mods before long. Run the NA races in both the Amateur League (10,000 credits) and Professional League (20,000 credits) to get some fast money, and beef up the car. With the correct setup of suspension and tires, you can win just about any race. It has a maximum of 787 hp with a top speed of over 240 mph. Total cost is 200,000 to 250,000 credits. After you have the car fully set up and beefed, run the Endurance Super Speedway race. This car will stomp the competition from the first turn. Run the hundred laps and get 200,000 credits and your new car. It is unlikely that you will get the F1 car on the first try but you will eventually get it. The F1 cars are incredible, and can be used to win every other race.
Win first place in the Grand Valley Speed Way endurance race . When you select a car for winning, look for the R30 GT-1 Road Car. If you choose this car, you can sell it for 550,000 credits. Since your prize earnings are 400,000 credits, you will get a total of 950,000 credits for winning the race.
Use the following trick to quickly get 350,000 credits. Enter the European Championship in Amateur league. Win the first four races in first place, racking up 30,000 credits (7,500 credits per win). Save the game, then skip the last race. Collect the 20,000 credits for winning. For winning the championship, the game will randomly give you a car. If you are lucky, you may win the Gillette Vertigo Race Car. If you do not, load the game from after the fourth race, and keep trying until you get that car. The Vertigo is a decent S-rank car that sells for 300,000 credits. Do this three times, and you can afford the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version (recommended), Viper GTSR Team Oreca, or the Corvette C5R.
Go to Rally Events and select Tahiti Maze. Choose to play against the rally car. Start the race and your opponent will crash into the wall and will not be able to move from that location for the entire race, leaving you to win.
Race the first three races in the American Championship and win first place. Skip fourth race, then begin the fifth and race until the first big turn, hopefully seeing the Camaro in first place. Then, quit the race. The game should state that you won. Pick the Camaro with the double framed spoiler as your prize. To do this, press [X] while the shadow is under that car. Sell it for 250,000 credits. With the 20,000 credits for the championship and the 22,500 credits for the first two races, this will earn a total of 29,7500 credits in about twenty minutes.
Buy a Supra Rz, Skyline GT-R V-spec, or Suzuki Escudo and tune it to the max. Enter the Like The Wind cup and go to "Settings", "Drivetrain", "Gearbox", "Autoset 48", then start the race. The Skyline will go 257 mph, the Supra 254 mph, and the Escudo 295 mph.
When you have a fast car go to Special Events, then the Sunday Cup and choose Tahiti Road. Race the slow vans to get 3,000 credits.
If you started with a really pathetic car, use the following trick to help sell it for a lot. Go to the Beginner's races. Race the first two cups that are there. If you win the gold about three times in each race, you can upgrade your car to its fullest. Sell it to make thousands more credits than you bought it for. Even the upgrades will sell for more. Note: This does not work for some brands.
When you first start out with 18,000 credits, go to the car dealer and buy a Mazda (not the one with wheels that look like flowers). Once done, race in the Beginner league then complete all three races in the Sunday Cup. Keep doing this repeatedly until you get enough money to tune up your Mazda. After you tune it up, test it and make sure it goes 174.1 mph and accelerates quickly. Then, race in the Beginner league and enter the World Race and race in the Super Speedway to get 10,000 credits. Note: You will race rally cars in the Super Speedway. Tuning up your car incorrectly will cause your car to spin out of control when turning.
When you start the game, select the Mazda MX-5 Miata(J) for 16,900 credits. Tune it to its full horsepower. Then, earn enough money to buy the Evo (Tommy Makiden Edition). Tune up the Evo, then sell the Miata and earn 100,000 credits. Buy a Dodge Viper GTS for 78,680 credits. Tune that up. Then get the IA and the Rally licenses. Once your Viper is tuned to the maximum (1088 horsepower), race in the Super Speedway endurance race. You should be able to complete this in about an hour. Eventually you will get the F090/S as a prize for winning. Use the F090/S in the Seattle Circuit endurance race. You should be able to win it in a little over an hour. As a prize, you will get the F687/S after a few tries. Once you get it, use it to win series like the European Championship or the Dream Car Championship in the Amateur league. Not only will you quickly earn credits, but you will also earn cars like the FTO LM Racecar and the S2000 LM Racecar. Keep the cars that you like and sell the others. You should also do the endurance races. Once you earn about six million credits, go to the Beginner league and do all the races that include certain cars. Buy those certain cars and win the races. That will boost your game percentage. Then, earn your Super license. Do the Like The Wind race in the Professional League. Use your Viper to win it, but make sure that there are no other Vipers. If there are, quit the race and reenter it until there are no Vipers. Once you win it, you will get the Mazda 787B.
Free tuning with memory card
Two memory cards are required for this trick. After getting some money or cars to sell, save your game to both cards. Then buy the car you want, tune it, and get all the tires. Save your game to the memory card two. Then, load the game from memory card one, go home, then go to trade. Load the memory card two's garage and buy the car you just tuned. Then, save the game to both cards. You have now bought a fully tuned car for the price of the stock car. Repeat this as many times as needed.
More speed with automatic transmissions
When racing with an automatic transmission, hold [R2] and you will get better acceleration. Release when the small red light to change gears flashes or the car will not change gears.
More speed by tagging
If you can catch up to the next car, tag his back bumper and you will be able to pass him. Tagging its bumper will give you an instant boost.
Quick start
At the beginning of a race (except for Endurance, Super License, and others without a countdown), do not rev your engine by holding [X]. Instead, wait until the countdown reaches "1". By the time it says "Go", you will have no white smoke from your wheels, no wheelspin, and a boost of about 0.2 seconds, which may make the difference in earning the Gold Trophy in a license test, or a quick head start as the CPU cars do not do this.
Better start from pits
While you are in the pits and you car is being lifted up to change your tires, press the gas and you will get a better start when drive off the pits.
Alternate cars by language
Four different cars are available, depending on which language the game is played in. Set the language to "English" to be able to buy the Vauxhall Speester or VX220.

Then, change the down force in front to the lowest setting and the rear to maximum. After this, change the spring rate to minimum, front and rear. Do the same thing with the ride height. Make sure the TCS and the ATC are at 0. The Escudo can now go 535 mph and will also do a wheelie.
Do not waste money on upgrading the first few cars you have in the game. Instead, practice being a better driver. Wait until you win a car with some real potential until you upgrade. For example, start out with a Mazda Miata, but do not upgrade. Use it to win a Mazda RX-7 Effini 3, then upgrade.

Save your game to the memory card two. Then, load the game from memory card one, go home, then go to trade. Load the memory card two's garage and buy the car you just tuned. Then, save the game to both cards. You have now bought a fully tuned car for the price of the stock car. Repeat this as many times as needed.
More speed with automatic transmissions
When racing with an automatic transmission, hold [R2] and you will get better acceleration. Release when the small red light to change gears flashes or the car will not change gears.
More speed by tagging
If you can catch up to the next car, tag his back bumper and you will be able to pass him. Tagging its bumper will give you an instant boost.
Quick start
At the beginning of a race (except for Endurance, Super License, and others without a countdown), do not rev your engine by holding [X]. Instead, wait until the countdown reaches "1". By the time it says "Go", you will have no white smoke from your wheels, no wheelspin, and a boost of about 0.2 seconds, which may make the difference in earning the Gold Trophy in a license test, or a quick head start as the CPU cars do not do this.
Better start from pits
While you are in the pits and you car is being lifted up to change your tires, press the gas and you will get a better start when drive off the pits.
Alternate cars by language
Four different cars are available, depending on which language the game is played in. Set the language to "English" to be able to buy the Vauxhall Speester or VX220. Set the language to "German" to win the Opel Astra as a prize in the German Touring Champ Amateur race and the Opel Calibra in GT World Champ Professional.
