actually, disregard my old comment,
I found a fix for this error "cant load pfSav2/driver/driver.plr:options _spcar_plrselectok::onrelease" error?"
it's because of windows permissions if you're installing to c:\program files, the game can't write the save file there. just install the game to a different location like another drive or the desktop.

1. Download this savefile: [mirrored here]
2. In the game directory, create a new folder called "SAVE", and in that folder, create a new folder called "Ben".
3. copy the Ben.PLR file from the gamesave in to the "Ben" folder and run the game. You should see a driver called Ben now, and you can play it. I assume you can rename the gamesave to whatever name, but this way worked for me.

Also there is no background music when installing Sports Car GT normally like this. The music is in CDDA (audio CD format) so without having the game's physical CD-ROM we have to mount the CD audio part virtually. But even this is trickier than it sounds because there's not many Windows software that can mount a cue sheet (.CUE file). - my go-to mounter WinCDEmu couldn't - But thanks to someone from the Ten Forums (https://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/15529-alternative-daemon-tools-lite-mount-audio-cue-bin-cd-images-3.html) I've finally found the way using a small and light mounting tool called ImgDrive.
Below is the solution to get BGM working in Sports Car GT (do this afresh and keep in mind the 'no CD' crack won't work here: you must keep the game disc mounted):
0) Download the 'ISO Version With Music' of this game shown above.
1) Download and install ImgDrive software.
2) Mount the SCGT.cue file using ImgDrive (note: the game only recognizes the CD when mounted to drive letter D:).
3) Open up the virtual D: drive, launch the Sports Car GT exe and click Install. Setup will install the game into Windows.
4) After setup is finished you can start playing the game (can launch from hard disk as normal) but the .CUE file should remain mounted to D: or else the game will ask 'Insert CD'.
5) Another thing to do: the BGM won't play without going into the game options and making changes (I think a compatibility issue again). Go to sound options, enable 'Game Music' under Volume Controls, and then choose 'Random' under CD Playback. Then finally the music will play!
Remember to mount the .CUE before playing the game. Also note that this means that you have to keep the 700MB folder containing the .CUE and .BIN downloaded from here - alongside the 'installed' game folder on your hard disk. Shame but then again 700 megs isn't very much in this age and at least you get to enjoy the original BGM of the game.

Using Direct3D to get the best graphics out of the game was really laggy (pretty much unplayable) on my system. I finally found a fix thanks to someone from the GTPlanet forum. (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/sports-car-gt-playing-on-pc-in-2019.387241/) and thanks to ColonelPhantom here:
Download dgVoodoo, a small tool containing DLLs. Copy the four .DLL files for DirectX from dgVoodoo and place them in the game's root folder on your hard disk. That should fix it and you should be able to play using Direct3D without issues, at least on mine it did.

Was there ever a fix for the "cant load pfSav2/driver/driver.plr:options _spcar_plrselectok::onrelease" error?

Hmm, the rip version in the downloads is actually just the contents of the CD + crack, it still needs an installation.
If somebody needs it, here's a rip of the vanilla installed game with step1 patch from racecarsim and nocd crack applied, ready for play or installing mods.

Because the music is an CDaudio tracks on the cd with nocd you can't have it. Here is the music as an mp3 tracks, you can just play them on loop with your favorite mp3 player app, while playing Sports Car GT. There is no track 1 because on the cd track one is the game itself.

It's not a glitch, its the backup graphics for when the ancient directx code doesnt run properly .

All time fav racing game. There is a way to do over 400 kph with cars in this game, without actual cheating :)
ColonelPhantom 2021-11-06 2 points
On my systems, I usually get graphics glitches when running in 'normal' Direct3D mode. Emulation, both nGlide for 3dfx Glide and dgVoodoo for Direct3D work to resolve this, and I recommend dgVoodoo Direct3D, since it allows running the game at high res (1440x1080) and with anisotropic filtering, which really makes the graphics a lot better.
I did not have much luck with dgVoodoo's Glide emulation, but Direct3D works amazingly well.

For all who say their game keeps asking for CD:
Inside CRACK folder there is a file called crack.exe
You need to copy&paste this file in your installed game folder (main folder where spcar.exe is) and then you have to start crack.exe - that will remove CD check.
Than you can run the game without CD

Some thing I must add.
In patch from this site, there could be an error with some tracks, for example MOSPORT, it will not load, but there is a simple solution:
In this directory: "\Sports Car GT\DAT" you must save the original "Scene.mas" file. If problem appears, just copy the original file to this folder.
Robert Wolak 2020-10-22 0 point
Hey guys,
I had a problems with asking for CD and now my game works, so I would like to introduce You how to fix it.
The solution is really easy: in .ISO file there is a folder "CRACK". All of folders, which are there, like "DAT", "MAS" and "PATCH" and also an .EXE file must be copied to Your SCGT directory in C:/.
After that, it really works. In this folder there is also an information about codes. I had knew SCGT for so many years but last time I realised that there are codes for this game, You could quickly have a lot of money and all cars.

For those who can't get it running, you need a Glide wrapper and select 3dfx as the graphics mode.

so far does not work. none of the files talk to eachother and get an error message that files cannot be found when trying to instal. Patch fails to install as well. not sure what you did correctly with this setup tbh. anyone have any suggestions? im on windows 10 but it seems that the download file is not working.

I really enjoyed 3 particular locations: Mosport Park (5 hour long), Sebring (12 hours - actually it meant the whole weekend without alternating the weak and unnecessarily careful AI driver) and Desert Speedway (Las Vegas Motor Speedway). Used to prefer Porsche to BMW because of its grip - BMW was pretty unpredictable and harder to tame. This game is a real masterpiece and is highly recommended.

If this is the game im thinking of i used to play it years ago on an old win98 machine, if i remember right you can race at night and i was addicted to this game, it had stunning gameplay and as i say night time racing was very atmospheric and indulgent.
PC games arent like this any more unfortunately, theyre all about money, this game is a classic and on a win98 machine with a hd3850 gpu, it will run easily at 1080p 60fps.
