The discs sent to them were labeled as Online Public Beta (with disc code of SCUS-97483) the build featured is based on NTSC-U version of the game, with some bug fixes not in the retail (both normal or Greatest Hits) versions. Some special competition were also held involving actual Super GT drivers.Īlthough released later than international versions of the game, the build is based on the original Japanese release as such, several cars added to the international releases of the car are missing in this version, likely to maintain parity with the released version.Ī lesser known test program was also held in North America in 2006 for 3,000 selected PlayStation Gamer Advisory Panel (GAP) members, an invitation-only, now-defunct group created by Sony Computer Entertainment America that received access to member-only forums and online beta tests, among others. Online services lasted three months from June 1st to September 1st, 2006 and included 6-player Competition, Time Trial, chat (mail message and microphone communication), and an Internet ranking chart was available in the game's website. 'News' inform about the availability for the online courses or special events, with limited date and time. Selecting the extra 'Online' mode leads to the 'Online Home' that features additional game modes, 'Quick Race', 'Tuned Car Race', 'Private Race' (that requires a password) and 'Time Attack'.

The Japanese test program, called Online Test Version on the packaging (with disc code of PAPX-90523), was freely shipped to 4,700 selected members from Japan and 300 from South Korea (totaling 5,000 test players).
