- Added full support for Hot Pursuit mode on Raceway tracks;
- Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan are now available in Hot Pursuit mode;
- Bonus reward cars now also being unlocked for the car dealer (including Test Drive and Hot Pursuit);
- Fixed steering wheel textures for Nissan cars (issue from the Japanese version);

- The game image with the mod is compatible with the vast majority of cheat codes for the USA edition of the game;

About Pennzoil Nissan Skyline GT-R:
- This bonus Skyline is available upon activation of the cheat code, and replaces the bonus Corvette;
- The model, textures, tachometer, sound and specs of the car are fully preserved;
- The interface elements will remain from the Corvette (because after 1 race the game changes the memory addresses for the desired interface values);
- Due to the limitation of the game on car slots, it is now impossible to add the bonus Skyline as a full-fledged car;

Recommendations for playing on the emulator:
- The mod was tested on the DuckStation emulator (but you can play on any);
- The game has a limit of 60-64 FPS, so overclocking the CPU (up to 300%, for example) helps to remove the lags during races, without noticeable bugs;
- Geometry Correction (PGXP Geometry Correction) improves the game looks, but do not turn on Texture Correction - the game has its own method of texture correction;
- The game still correctly displays the geometry of the track at the edges of the screen, if you have enabled Widescreen Hack and set the screen format to 16:10;
- Use the "Increase Track Detail" cheat to increase the quality of the track geometry;
- Cheat "Swap Dash Cam to Hood Cam" replaces the hidden interior cams by hood cams for all cars (requires the Dashboard Camera mode cheat to be active);
- Increase CD-ROM (4x) read speed to get noticeable boost on loading screens;

Important notes before playing:
- If you are going to play on the original PlayStation, then the image of the game with the mod may not fit on the regular CD;
- Despite the presence of the Hot Pursuit mode, traffic is not available on the Raceway tracks;
- In the Trophy Room section of the menu, new tournaments are not displayed (because there are problems with loading textures for new trophy icons);
- All Nissan Skyline disabled the effects of headlights and "shine" in the menu, this is due to the poly-count of the car model and limitations in different editions of the game;
(in the race, all the effects of the car are present)
- Nissan Skyline will always have a static sign on the license plate, this is due to problems with the display of the license plate on the car model;
- In Hot Pursuit mode, the police will talk about your car as "Sportscar" if you drive a Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, HSV, Ford or Nissan;
- In Single Race mode, opponents in Full Grid will only take the same car model if you are using the Nissan Skyline;
(in tournaments, opponents gonna use all available cars)
