Oh interesting. I'll have to try that
Found this. Same guy who made the Western soundtrack. Sounds like something that could've been in the game.
@Sal_89 Well the shared song is a soundcloud upload lol. Go there then under the song click the Plus button then download the file (it may or may not be available, because that's up tot he author to decide)

I decided to comb through GT1 Trial Demo's files a bit and found some new unused stuff! Some are more interesting than others, and a few are... very crispy muahahah
So. I strongly suggest having the TCRF page open at the same time in order to compare how the following screen are different.
First, we start with the less interesting ones:
Yes, a broken screen. I don't know what it is. But it's there.

I also found what I think is an unused VS screen.

GT League: The differences with the USED screens in GT1 Trial is the GO RACE______________________CHAMPIONSHIP top layer, and the bottom half, with sometimes a different checker flag transition and the little license logos.

Then we have the Special Events championship screens that have the same differences as above. With one exception being the FR cup, which uses what became the NTSC-USA screen for it.

Now, we'll have some screens that at some point were made to be accessed via the Special Events menu, not the main map screen. Same differences. The license menus have different logos, which might not look weird to you, because they are what we got in the final build, but Trial Demo uses a different set that has the logos shining with a 3D effect.

Now we're talking interesting changes. Menu changes. Here comes the GTF menus.
Yes, this is the GT League and Special Events icons and names sometime during production. Central League being GT League, Special League being Special Events.

Central League looked like this. A slightly different layout than what's used in GTTrial.

And Special League looks like this.

I then found an unused GT Hi-Fi screen

AND FINALLY. THE ONE YOU'VE NEVER EXPECTED. THE CREME DE LA CREME. A screen that I think has never been seen before.
DRIFT SCHOOL!? WHY POLYPHONY REMOVED THIS!?
It was probably more for fun than anythingThis is quite a discovery.
Honestly it makes sense to me that they removed it from the game. It is possible there were issues with creating a legitimate way for the game to detect oversteer.
Also, this type of driving isn’t effective in most motorsports, only something such as rally or the actual sport of drifting requires it. There aren’t any events in the final game that require it either.
Oh wow. The fact that they planned drifting as soon as the very first game is crazy, not gonna lie. GT5 was the first game with an actual Drift Mode, wasn't it? That means this mode was in works for around 13 years.
I simply think that the reason for the removal of the "Drift School" mode is simply due to the physics of the Gran Turismo 1 itself. Where it is enough to press the brake and the cars depart from the tail, it does not take an astrophysicist to understand that it would not come out well as a mode.
