And as for that Drag Racing mode...

Sony have just set us straight regarding the 'Gran Turismo 2 Not Complete' story from IGN which we ran on January 5. Apparently the bug is only in the NTSC version and is down to a small software calculation problem - when you've completed the game, the NTSC version displays only 98.6 per cent complete. This problem has been addressed and will not appear in the PAL version.

Furthermore, rumours surrounding a Drag Racing mode simply aren't true. "In all the versions shown to the press and internally, this mode was never in the game," stated Jonathan Fargher, UK PR Executive at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "I agree that it was something Polyphony had talked about, but to include it in GT2, to the same level of detail as the other modes, was unrealistic for this version."

Thanks for clearing that up, Jonathan. We shall consider our wrists well and truly slapped.
