A licensed Japanese-GT racer that period reviewers thought thin on tracks and technique.
GT 64: Championship Edition is a racing game developed by Imagineer and licensed to the All-Japan GT Championship, with cars and drivers from the 1997 season. It reached North America in September 1998 and Japan in October 1998 as City Tour GrandPrix: Zen Nihon GT Senshuken, and a PAL release followed in 1998.
GameFan's August 1998 preview listed twelve licensed cars, including Toyota, Nissan and Honda, with customization and six courses. N64 Magazine pointed out that the touted twelve tracks were really three, each with short and long routes and mirror versions. Next Generation's November 1998 review was scathing, rating it a single star and saying it lacked the technique of a technical racer and the speed of a fast one, though it noted the frame rate held steady.
How it was made

“GT64 plays well enough to cope with its visual hindrances, but you'll need to ramp the difficulty up to hard straight away. This could, and should, have been so much better.”
“Overall GT 64 lacks both the technique of a technical racer and the speed of a fast racer — in fact, it lacks just about anything you can think of.”
“GT Club is a fantastic racing game all round; finally N64 owners can sit back, happy in the knowledge that they finally has a decent racer.”
Next Generation rated games from one star ("Bad: crucially flawed in design or application") to five ("Revolutionary"); three stars meant "Good: a solid and competitive example of an established game style." Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.
Before you buy
The US cartridge sits below the library median when loose, and a complete copy costs a few times the loose price. PAL copies cost less than US ones, and Japanese copies cost much less. The fake risk is low. The manual says the Rumble Pak is supported but optional.
