I imported a launch PSP at the cost of over ?300 mostly on the back of 'that' mockup of GT running on a PSP. Finally after, what, 4 years, it arrives.
Bit of an Xmas morning feeling slipping the game in. I've only had an hour on it so forgive the sparse details.
You start out with 100k, I did a single player race in the 206 you get in your garage. Yup, it's GT, feels a little bit on rails but probably due to the sterile car you are driving (this is confirmed later on). Easy race and came 1st, not really a challenge but a gentle introduction. The replay functions are all there at the end of the race.
Had a look at the cars available. Only certain marques are available each 'game day', I'm up to day 3 or 4. Plenty of variety, good mix between exotics and forecourt fodder.
Ran through some of the driving challenges (A(braking) & B(easy cornering)). Virtually the same as those in GT, probably more challenging given the nature of steering with the nub.
Some of the challenges were with more powerful cars, this is where the feel of GT is back, handling starts to come alive. A little strange without rumble, more difficult to 'feel' the car losing it.
I'll get another session in later.

. I don`t mind no career mode as this is on the PSP after all and has 800 hundred cars!! I got a free Mclearen Mercedes SLR and a Corvette from Yodobashi on voucher papers you scratch off like the lottery tkts, these had codes you use in the PSN store, this was very easy and painless to do which is nice. 
. My go on Suzuka short was very good, 1st single race was very easy but I expect it to get a bit harder. Time trial was good too. Not tried Drift mode yet. Dirty Sanchez said you start with 100k this is true and I bought a Nissan Skyline GTR34 99 vspec straight off. Handling in imo is very good cars feel different, but it`s not as noticeable as in later GT titles. The handling model I think feels like maybe GT2 as opposed to GT3 or GT4. Overall I love it and it is enjoyable to see the manufacturers rotate although that maybe annoying in the future when I want a Ferrari.
