Tourist Trophy

Tourist Trophy is the application of Gran Turismo 4 ' s formula and engine to a motorcycle racing game. Even with reduced on-screen vehicle count and loss of certain tracks (including off-road courses, even with inclusion of motard models), the track features the Circuit Ricardo Tormo that would be given one chance for four-wheelers to drive in , as well as a 1080i support carried over from the game's four-wheeler cousin.

Cheat Codes

Most of the previously undiscovered cheats for Gran Turismo 4 also work in this game. These codes have same requirement as in GT4, in which 365 game days must have passed.

• Pass any license (License Selection Screen): Select, R1, Select, R1, Select, L2, L2, R2, R2, L1, Select, L1, Select .
• Gold any specific license test (License Test Selection Screen): Select, Select, R1, R2, L2, L2, Select, L1, R1, Select, R2, L1, Select .
• Gold any event (Event Course Selection Screen): Select, L1, Up, Up, Select, R1, Down, Down, Select, L2, Select, R2, Select .

Special Settings

The hidden menu that was in GT4 can also be accessed in this game using the same method: enter the Options menu and input the same code, L1, Up, L2, Down, R1, Left, R2, Right, Start, Start on the second controller. The sound heard when entering a menu from the main menu will then be played to confirm the right input. Unlike in GT4, the code does not need to be entered each time the player visits the screen.

In addition to the Secret and Monitor , two additional options also appear here to support the Secret portion of the menu.

Function Overview

Secret (special settings).

This portion of the menu works exactly the same like in GT4, although with some changes as TT does not have Favorites option in its Arcade Mode.

• Specific Bikes : Restricts the motorcycles available in Arcade Mode to those defined in the Bike menu.
• Specific Courses : Restricts the courses available in Arcade Mode to those set in Course Registration Settings , which is a hidden setting in this game as TT does not feature LAN mode.
• Specific Opponents : Restricts the opponent motorcycles chosen in Arcade Mode to those defined in the Bike menu.
• Specific Makes : Allows the game to be set to only feature a certain manufacturer. When this is the case, you cannot enter Tourist Trophy Mode , and the title screen's is modified with the chosen manufacturer on top of the game logo on the title screen. Selecting none , the default option, reverts to normal gameplay.

Monitor (Detail Monitor Settings)

This portion of the menu also works exactly the same like in GT4, where it allows you to adjust the camera and the display of the screen during races.

• Flag : Four flags can be chosen (FLAG_NONE, FLAG_ROTY, FLAG ROTX, and FLAG_ROTX|FLAG_ROTY). These appears to deal with settings on each horizontal/vertical axis, but it does not appear to affect anything.
• Zoom : Adjust the field of view, in range of 0.00 to 3.00.
• Distance : Adjusts the distance from the viewpoint of the player's camera between 200 to 1200 millimeters; the default setting is 276 mm.
• Width : Adjusts the width of the display area, between 200 to 600 millimeters.
• Height : Adjusts the height of the display area, between 200 to 400 millimeters.
• Aspect : Adjusts the pixel aspect ratio, between 0.00 to 2.00.
• Overscan Factor : Obvious what it adjusts, the value is 0.00 to 2.00.
• Border Width (Left, Right, Top, Bottom) : Adjusts the width of each side of the screen border in millimeters. The range of each is 0 (default) to 300 millimeters.

The default settings depends on the selected aspect ratio mode:

Bike (Bike Settings)

A replacement for the Favorites option in GT4, where chosen cars are determined, this menu allows the player to select what motorcycles are available to be used by the Secret Settings menu.

Course Registration Settings

This menu, originally part of GT4's LAN capabilities, allows you to select what tracks can be chosen for the Specific Courses option. Note that most of the tracks have the value for maximum vehicles on the track of six, even though Tourist Trophy only supports four.

Unused Motorcycle

An entry for Buell LIGHTNING CITYX XB9SX RacingModify '05 can be found in the database files in the American version of the game, which would have been a racing version of the Buell LIGHTNING CITYX XB9SX '05 , a motorcycle added in that version of the game. Coincidentally, the other three road-going bikes added in that version do have their own racing versions. In the European version of the game, this entry was removed from the database.

Unused Thumbnail

There is an Arcade Mode thumbnail for the Honda RC162 '61 , a bike not normally accessible in that mode.

Regional Differences

The American version of the game adds seven additional motorcycles to the game:

• Buell LIGHTNING CITYX XB9SX '05
• Honda NS400R '85
• Honda NS400R RacingModify '85
• Suzuki RG500 Gamma '85
• Suzuki RG500 Gamma RacingModify '85
• Yamaha RZV500R '84
• Yamaha RZV500R RacingModify '84

The European version of the game also adds three additional motorcycles, on top of the above:

• Kawasaki Z1000 R1 '82
• Kawasaki Z1000 S1 '82
• YOSHIMURA GS1000R YOSHIMURA XR69 '80

For the North American and European version of the game, the new Buell became obtainable from the 2-stroke Legend Series championship (in Hero Blue Translucid color) and the third race of the Nostalgic Festival series (at Special Stage Route 5 , for the Kick Ash Translucid color); these events originally do not award prize bikes in the Japanese version. Additionally, for the European version of the game, two events have their prize vehicles changed to accommodate that version's new ones:

Because of the changes to the K1200R Cup and Special Machine Cup, the Suzuki DR-Z400SM '05 and Yamaha VMAX RacingModify '05 are obtainable from the first two races of the Nostalgic Festival event in the European version instead.

Bike Changes

Some motorcycles have performance changes in the North American and European version of the game, where they use the "eu" variants:

Riding Gear

The North American version version adds the following Riding Gears:

The European version also adds three helmets to the above list. Curiously, entries for Arai SNC RX-7 RR4 NAKANO-1 and Arai SNC RX-7 RR4 NAKANO-2 are present in American version of the game, unused with different names.

Equipment Combination

Some Equipment Combinations in Arcade Mode were changed between Japan and International versions:

In addition, an extra motard Equipment Combination was added in North American and European version. It takes the tenth spot of the Japanese version, moving by one all of the other following combinations.

Seven new in-race songs were added in the North American version of the game, followed by additional six in the European version of the game.

Isle of man tt: the world’s greatest motorsport event.

Next Chapter >

Nothing else compares to the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT). Held annually on the picturesque Isle of Man, a small island situated in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland, the TT races attract the bravest and most skilled riders, as well as a legion of fervent fans, all drawn by the promise of speed, excitement and danger.

The origins of these races can be traced back to 1907, which makes the Isle of Man TT one of the oldest motorsport events still being contested today.

What sets the TT apart from other motorsport events is where the racing takes place.

The 37.73-mile (60.72km) Snaefell Mountain Course weaves through the island’s villages, countryside, and mountain roads, offering a unique blend of straightaways and sharp turns on public roads closed for the event.

This year, fans lined the banks in big numbers. In fact, the 2024 event – held from late May till early June – had the most spectators since the 2007 centenary TT, with nearly 70,000 people arriving by sea or air to this tiny island nation, almost doubling its population for the fortnight of racing.

The event is so physically large that 2,000 race marshals are positioned around the course.

Unlike the controlled environment of a traditional racetrack, the Mountain Course presents natural hazards: stone walls, lampposts, and even the occasional wayward animal. All these elements amplify the risk, demanding not just technical prowess from the riders but also nerves of steel.

Speed is the essence of Tourist Trophy races. The fastest riders average more than 136mph (218km/h) over a single lap, with top speeds exceeding 200mph (321km/h) along some straights.

Even shooting the TT is on another level. Take this shot from the approach to Hillberry, located on the 36th mile of the circuit. The spectator-filled grass bank exists just metres from where riders blitz past at upwards of 170mph (270km/h), kicking up dust and grass and leaving a body-shaking wake of wind and noise. It’s intoxicating.

There are no barriers or massive catch fencing here, not even safety tape. Common sense rules apply. Want to have a race bike pass by at full noise within a metre or two of your face? Hillberry is the place for you.

This year’s TT had its challenges, inclement weather being the biggest. For all the joy of sitting on a bank watching the racing, it’s less fun when delay after delay halts the action. On a few occasions, the rain caused races to be cancelled outright. As frustrating as that was, it is understandable as rider safety is paramount, and the TT course is challenging enough in the best of conditions.

Even with all the disruption the weather threw at the organisers, nine of the 10 scheduled races were completed, although some at revised (shortened) distances.

The bright side of all the weather stoppages was the opportunity to nose around the paddock.

Here, the big teams are based in large tents kitted out with full workshops’ worth of gear.

Further down the field, things get a little more modest, with some riders doubling as the mechanic. Whatever it takes to be here.

Away from the glare of the television cameras and the masses of spectators, crews rushed around their bikes, preparing them for the next race, be it a simple fluids change or an engine rebuild.

The grid area sits right in the heart of the paddock, and as soon as the PA system fired into life, a sense of excitement always filled the air. In the unmistakable voice of Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson MBE: “Attention paddock, attention paddock, this is race control…” Everyone hopes it’s a call that racing is on.

Once the signal is given, riders quickly assemble. The larger teams retreat to their remote grid boxes while competitors further down the field grab space in the open. Bikes fire into life to begin their warm-up sequences; blankets shroud tyres that will soon meet the Mountain Course.

Watching how each rider counted down the minutes was a real eye-opener. Some were relaxed and chatty, while others were focused on the task ahead.

Every rider who pushes their machine under the start line arch knows the risks that lie ahead. Despite the obvious dangers, more and more riders are signing up to compete. While many chase podium glory, for the majority, simply becoming a TT rider is all that matters.

The focus will always be on the winners and big stars, though.

Davey Todd is the new rockstar of road racing. He’s the king of swag with an Aussie-style mullet and a beaming smile that excludes a no-fear attitude to lapping the Mountain Course. Having moved to the Milwaukee BMW team this year, things have clicked for him.

The opening, and sadly only, Super Stock race went Davey’s way, however, the crowning glory was his win in the Senior TT – the blue-riband finale to this year’s Tourist Trophy.

Just over an hour earlier, my local star Mike Browne claimed a TT podium by finishing third in the Super Twin race, making it onto the rostrum for the second year straight. When I covered a season of  Irish road racing in 2019 , I marked Mike as a star in the making. To be there and see him claim another TT podium was special.

Local brothers Ryan and Calum Crowe took out both Sidecar races. Meanwhile, Peter Hickman had a lucky win in the Superbike opener.

The greatest of all time – ‘G.O.A.T.’ is an acronym often thrown about, sometimes resulting in passionate debate. Here, there is none: Michael Dunlop is the greatest road racer of all time, and this year he rewrote the Tourist Trophy record books.

Arriving on the Isle of Man just one win short of his legendary uncle Joey Dunlop’s record for most TT victories, it only took the opening Supersport race for Michael to equal the tally. A few days later he eclipsed it after winning the first Super Twin race.

Many thought Joey’s tally of 26 wins, having stood since 2000, may never be beaten, so it seemed fitting that it would be the final member of the legendary Dunlop dynasty who would ultimately break the record.

Although a loose helmet visor likely denied Michael the Superbike victory, and a clutch issue prematurely ended his TT Senior chances, more first-place finishes in the second Supersport and Super Twin races of the 2024 event ultimately took his race win tally to 29 – an astonishing feat for the quiet Ballymoney star.

While others celebrated victory with sponsors and friends, with Michael it was nearly always the same routine. Head down, shorts on, and straight into prep for the next race.

For me, the TT is the world’s greatest motorsport event. For two weeks each year, a nation stops, schools close, and public holidays are declared ahead of professional and amateur racers alike attacking the high streets and open roads of the island at wide-open throttle.

It’s impossible not to love the brilliance of it, accept the risks involved, and leave feeling energised knowing that everyone you meet, be they racers, marshals or spectators, is there living their passion. It’s both mad and brilliant. If you haven’t witnessed the Isle of Man TT in person, you really are missing out.

Isle of Man will never EVER fail to impress me with the quality of the participants. It's a wonder how their riding suits could cover their huge cojones so well.

The Isle of Man TT is indeed the world's greatest motorsport event because you are literally sending it on two wheels on a narrow circuit That takes an immense amount of skill close to even Pikes Peak

I would absolutely love to attend the Isle of Man TT as it is such an amazing, and unique event that regardless of whether I like motorcycle racing, I MUST acknowledge that it is the apex of moto racing. Cian, your photos are stunning. ESPECIALLY the panning shots at the corners! All I feel is motion when I look at them.

Cian How much does the winner get? It better be alot for this craziness!! Love to see this in person.

Hi David, The Senior TT is the blue riband race, with £25,000 going to the winner from an overall pot of £84,500. The Superbike TT is next best, with £20,000 for the winner, followed by the Supersport (£10,000 to the winner), Sidecar and Superstock (both £8,000) and finally the Supertwin (£6,000). While it may sound big, don't forget that competitors compete in multiple classes, meaning building and running numerous machines. Michael Dunlop had 6 bikes at the TT this year (2x Honda Superbikes, a Honda Superstock, Triumph Daytona 765 Supersport, a Yamaha R6 Supersport and the Paton for the Supertwin)

Thanks much for these motorcycle articles! I look forward to reading these ones each year!

I like motorcycle. Motorcycle go fast. Jump n has fun colors. Road is narrow and da caw has 2 wheels. Engine go vroom. My favorite EVAR. Other than drifting becaws drifting is also amaze.

Amazing event an amazing pics!

Hello ,What Happen Trek Rood.Jampe fly moto go on trek Racing in Rood Village Town. Dwon No konsisten (Racer) Racing Trek cruciut.

Thank you for the coverage! We definitely need to see some more road racing posts

Bucket-list event to watch one day

Cian, this is definitely some of your best work my friend. The jump shots are so clear, it's crazy. Glad everything went great and you made it back home. From what you told me when Sasha and I were with you in 2022, there are a lot of risks for spectactors and photographer, too. Have a good one, Cian.

Important footnote:it was one of the few TT events that did not claim a life, a feat in and of itself.

Damn, some actual speedhunting on speedhunters, Kinda getting tired of seeing the same stanced euroboxes all the time.

Anybody play Tourist Trophy?

Let's get a thread going on Tourist Trophy. Post up you're favorite tracks, crazy experiences and sick stuff you're working on. I've been rocking around Seca lately. I've gotten pretty damn fast too. Coming into turn 2 (the hairpin) I can just about get the rear end to slide out every time. Here's my top 10 lap times: I run the Moriwaki TIGER Racing CBR 1000rr Suzuka 8H 10. 1:25.881 9. 1:25.744 8. 1:25.532 7. 1:25.262 6. 1:24.972 5. 1:24.953 4. 1:24.950 3. 1:24.733 2. 1:24.291 1. 1:24.083 Can anybody hang with?  

i love this game. its awesome. right now i like ridin the 05 r6 and its geared all the way. fun ride!  

Ok i'm ignorant. What system do you guys play this on?  

I'll post on thurs what my fastest time at Laguna is. So we'll see just how fast you are!!!! Comin' at cha!!  

we play this game on ps2 my friend! and that^^^ is a nice ass! I cant believe thats your signature! hah!  

havn't played it in so long, i forgot i even had the game. now i have something to do this winter lol  

with a stock zx10r (i.e. not the racing modified) i got 1:25.898. i guess i geared the bike as short as it would go but thats it! fun game...but i hate laguna, i get a clean run like 1 out of every 5 laps because i keep over shootin corners! especially the first one.  

I usually ride on Motegi, Valencia & Laguna. But I use the zx6r RM of course. On Laguna I get a 1:27, Valencia a 1:38.989. Motegi a 1:56.586  

Did you know you can slow a BP wheelie to a stop, and the guy will set his feet down and walk the bike backwards if you keep doing it? It confuses the hell out of the AI though because the guy is walking around and shaking his head like an angry dog or lion or something to the time of the motor making strange noises...but you can do it. You can also do BP endos from like 50 or 60mph all the way down the front straight of most tracks, but it gets a little slippery after a while. lmao... I really got into the game for a while, but I got tired of racing against one or two other bikes. Basically the only point of racing was to get more bikes, but the performance and sound of a lot of the bikes was so far off that it just lost my interest. MotoGP 4 is MUCH more fun. Less realistic physics, MUCH better throttle control (even with the touch-sensitive PS2 controller, TT is almost off/80%/on...there's almost no control no matter how gentle you are)...full grid...you do practice, quali and race for 125 250 and 990 classes (or just one, if you want) with authentic bikes and riders. LOTS of fun, and the difficulty is actually up there to where you're fighting for points in the championship and trying so hard to get that one hot lap in Quali because it actually makes a difference, not just trying to get an undefeated season. The points race is SO exciting. =) And they have the sounds of the GP bikes down REALLY good. The biggest disappointment for me was how Japan-centric the game turned out to be. Motorcycling started in Europe as a passion, and Harley, Indian, Exelsior Henderson, et. al. brought America into it, and then once all the Japaneese companies realized how much money there was in motorcycles, they jumped in and started throwing all sorts of cash at it. It just disappointed me to see hundreds of Japaneese bikes, and what, two Ducati's in one scheme? One MV in two schemes? How many Triumphs? I know Polyphony's a Japaneese company, but seriously...who cares about having all thirteen versions of some thirty-year-old Honda knobby-tired-street-bike?  

Well you pretty much made me pull out the game after beating it in the first 2 weeks after it came out. So I was brushing up on my skills. On the same bike Moriwaki Honda: I got a 1.26.695 all the subsequient laps were 1.27's without messing with the gearing. And at Valencia I got a 1.39.174 with the same bike. The Suzuki version of the 5 special bike ran a 1.38.599. I will mess the final drive at laguna though....can't reach that 1.24.....thats pretty fast!!  

Are you talking about your lap times for a ten lap race, or just your best ten lap times at Laguna period? I pulled a 1'13.646 today on a Trick*Star Kawie. Alright, I'm lying, the best I could pull off was a 1'30.836. I haven't played in forever, but now I gotta start practicing again. Is there any way on this game to see all of your lap times from a race without having to watch the replay?  

Wondering: how do you get the back end to slide, I thought that feature is only on the MotoGP games. I use to cut my lap times by half a sec to a sec once I learned. I think turn 5 or 6 is my favorite...the one right before the corkscrew. Thats where the ghost would usually get me till I brake earlier and get on the throttle. I'll try messing with the settings more to see what will change. Let me know what you get outa Valencia best track for high and low speed transitions.  

Is that a challenge? I think it is. I slide the rear into 2 by grabbing both the rear and the front at the same time, while continuing to turn in for the apex of the corner. You can hold onto the rear almost until the inside candy striping. It took me a while to figure this out, but turn 4 is definitely a 4th gear. Turn 5 is fun.... fast. Do you wheelie out of every corner? That's what gets you the best drive and the best traction. That's why I'm so close to the 23's  

Yeah I'll try and see what comes of it.....Not all the time cause things can get out of control when you wheelie, but I guess thats what the big boys do in real life!!!! Late  

Valencia: 1:35.826 Got close but couldn't top it. MrNinja who's that girl?  

Who is that in that picture? Are the women shaped like that in Japan?  

Woof. What is tourist trophy?  

Damn, some of you guys are pretty fast... and MRninja, that pic is awesome! Just dusted the game off and ran a 1:40.905 on Valencia with the 7 Honda CBR Suzuka bike..... so its official that I'm pretty rusty after not playing it for a while and lately playing need for speed carbon.  

Ahahaha that is sick! Keep it up! Kawi StunnaZ!

Gran Turismo HD is only for the PS3 and is a FREE download as it's a pay to play game. The downloaded game only has 1 track and like 6-7 cars. You have to buy the cars and tracks you want, yes, BUY! I think it was released earlier this week for free download...

Description official descriptions

Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Simulator is essentially Gran Turismo on two wheels. You have about 120 licensed bikes and 30 tracks in a realistic motorcycle-racing simulation.

Of course, motorcycles don't handle like cars. This is reflected in-game by giving you control over your rider's side-to-side leaning to affect cornering. Of course, all the standard simulation elements of braking, positioning, throttle control and condition of your ride are important as well.

The game is divided into two main modes. Arcade mode allows you to do timed runs, quick races against AI opponents or split-screen racing.

The main mode, Tourist Trophy, first puts you through a series of licensing tests. Each license opens up a group of challenges or races. Each challenge or race corresponds to a motorcycle, which you can earn by winning it. There is no cash in this game. Some events also unlock further events, of course.

Bikes are customizable. You can set the tire compound, brakes, shocks, gear ratio and exhaust. Riders have even more options. Not only can they wear a variety of licensed clothing, their riding style is customizable, allowing you to adjust things like the position they take in leans, which affects handling.

In addition to these Tourist Trophy also features a photography mode, which allows you to take pictures of the game in action and save them to a USB flash drive or print them directly from a printer attached to your PlayStation 2.

A literal copy of Gran Turismo but with motorcycles, and not a bad one.

The Good The fact that the game has applied the philosophy of the GT saga into the world of motorcycles is really a plus and makes the game worthy due to that reason alone. But the keystone of the game for me is that you can ride motorcycles of any kind that you can imagine. From plain megascooters to monsters like the Hayabusa-prepared Suzukis. The licenses are easily more than in Gran Turismo and that is something to be grateful for. The Bad The movements of the riders are, AT TIMES, a bit robotic. Also it does not help that some of the falls happening in the game are so exaggerated and unrealistic that they would not even happen in real life. One does not just fall off the bike because a jump. The Bottom Line A good first try at the world of motorcycles by Polyphony Digital. Sad that there has been no continuation of the series even if Yamauchi-San told everyone that he was interested.
