It is possible to make random grids show up as well, by turning the PS3 on, letting the entry menu fade away into one of the game's opening sample replay races (do NOT rush into GT Mode), and then exiting this replay after a minute or so.

Otherwise, the grids below show sequentially after first starting the PS3, and then starting the game.
