It looks like there is a separate gauge display for each wheel, rear left (RL), front left (FL), etc. What would the gauge be telling you? Traction/wheelspin? RPM? and what are you supposed to do with that information once you have it?

That could be from that Toyota concept car. It has electric motors in each wheel hub. Just a guess.

You could be right Jim, I think so too. On the other hand....just ignore the lightshow and drive.

That's the concept car alright. At least that's what it looks like on my demo disk I got.

I would believe that it was the Toyota concept.

Remember that the vehicle has 2 drivers shown in it. So perhaps it has something to do with that.

Perhaps it's the electric meter? Maybe you have to stop and insert a quarter credit coin when each wheel runs out of juice?

I get the impression that the time limit part is just for a certain mode, like license or something to that effect. Thats one thing I loved about the GT games, they dont time you with a countdown and allow you to discover the course on your own to get a hang of it.

I also had my questions about the new displays.

...and it seems the time trail is for a license:
