GT Legends - Game Guide

GT Legends is a sports car racing simulator by Simbin, based on the 2005 FIA Historic Racing Championships which feature GTC and TC cars from the 60's and 70's.

The title was released after Simbins' 2005 GTR, and before GTR2 in 2006.

There was - and still is - some confusion about the games contents because it features Historic Racing Cars on Modern Circuits (of the time).

This was due to it being based on the FIA Historic Racing Championships, which would allow the Developer and Publisher licensing use of specific Cars and Locations.

Though it does include different times of day, the game does not include any wet weather racing. It also has a reduced damage model.

GT Legends includes about 80% of the tracks from GTR - though its Car list is entirely different.
