Gran Designs - Day one: Gran Turismo
Setting the bar higher than ever before
As well as control, GT introduced another thing to the world of racing games - statistics.

Gran Turismo was intriguing. It was interesting to drive your mom%26rsquo;s old family car around a race track. Gone were the fantasy worlds where you raced F1 cars and stock cars at 1000mph - now you were a learner driver bumping Fiats into cones.
