Gran Turismo PSP Career
Gran Turismo PSP · グランツーリスモ
Gives Gran Turismo on the PSP the career mode it never had: 289 events, championships, a tuning shop, endurance races, five restored tracks and 32 extra cars.
What's new
Memetrix's patch adds a full career inside the game, with its own save that copies your garage and credits from your normal one:
- 289 events in nine halls, from Beginner to Endurance. 125 are classic Gran Turismo 4 events with their original rules; the other 164 are new, some with power limits.
- 74 championships with the same rivals through the season, and 18 endurance races of up to 24 hours, saved in segments.
- Licences earned through the game's Driving Challenge, prize cars, every dealer open every day and cars you can sell.
- A tuning shop priced like the American GT4: engine and weight upgrades, gearboxes, LSD, brake balance, suspension, tarmac, dirt and snow tyres, and factory repaints.
Five tracks that were cut from the game, Complex String, Smokey Mountain, Tahiti Dirt, Rome and Hong Kong, are back in the career, Single Race and Time Trial, and run on real hardware. 31 cars from GT1 to GT5 join the dealers, along with the Ferrari 458 Italia that Polyphony had planned and cut, rebuilt with data and engine sound from GT5. Races can have up to eight cars (four on the original PSP-1000), and there are HUD presets, analog pedals on the right stick and a widescreen option.
The cut tracks still have small graphical glitches. The project was flagged as made with AI assistance.
Playing it
The patch needs your own copy of the American release (version 1.00 or 2.00); the European one isn't supported. The project's browser installer patches it locally without uploading anything, and the GitHub page also explains manual patching. It runs on a PSP with custom firmware and in PPSSPP.
