Now, let me tell ya, I been playin’ that Gran Turismo game a bit lately, and I reckon a lotta folks been askin’ the same question: “Does Gran Turismo have F1?” Well, let me clear that up for ya in plain ol’ talk. The short answer is: kinda, but not exactly like the real F1 cars you see on TV.
You see, Gran Turismo don’t have the modern F1 cars, the ones with all them fancy aerodynamics and engines. But it does have a few cars that give you a little taste of that F1 feel. For example, in the game, you got yourself some classic F1 cars like the McLaren MP4/4, which you can find in the Legend Dealership. Now, this car ain’t from today’s races, but it sure does give you that old-school racing vibe, just like when Ayrton Senna was out there burnin’ up the tracks.
And if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ a bit different, there’s the GranTurismo F1500T-A. Now, this here car ain’t a real-life F1 car, no ma’am. It’s Polyphony’s version of the Lotus 97T, but they made a few changes to it. You can grab this one at Brand Central, so if you want somethin’ that’s a mix of real and made-up, it’s right there for ya.

Now, when we talk about the Formula Gran Turismo, that’s a bit more like what you’d see in an F1 race. It’s a championship, and all them cars in it are designed to emulate F1-style racing. The races themselves last about the same as a real F1 race—just over 305 kilometers. So, if you’re looking for somethin’ close to the real thing, that’s as close as you’re gonna get in Gran Turismo. Mind ya, it ain’t quite the same as watchin’ the big boys race on the TV, but it sure can get your heart pumpin’!
But, here’s the kicker—Gran Turismo ain’t all about F1, it’s about a whole bunch of racing styles. You got all kinds of cars from different eras, so whether you wanna race classic cars, or something modern, the game’s got it all. It’s like goin’ to a car show where you can actually get behind the wheel and race, not just look at ’em.
Now, don’t go thinkin’ Gran Turismo is only for F1 fans. It’s much more than that. You got yourself all kinds of races, from street racing to endurance stuff, so you can take your pick on what type of car you wanna race and what kinda track you wanna tear up. Whether you’re into F1, or just like drivin’ around in any ol’ car, Gran Turismo gives you plenty to do.
So, to answer that question for you, yes, Gran Turismo got F1 cars, but they ain’t the newest models. They got some old-school legends like the McLaren MP4/4 and their own made-up F1-style cars. If you’re lookin’ for the real-deal F1 experience, you might be better off turnin’ to other games, but if you just wanna race and have fun, then Gran Turismo got what you need. It’s all about racin’ and havin’ a good time, whether it’s F1-style or not.
In the end, whether you’re a die-hard F1 fan or just someone who loves fast cars, Gran Turismo’s got somethin’ for ya. And even if the F1 cars ain’t the latest, they sure still bring a lotta excitement to the table. So get behind the wheel, hit the track, and enjoy the ride!
