The first were on paper and were later transferred onto a Word document and printed. Consisted of only the charts, as appear here in section 7. 1.0 Apr 2005 Upon discovery of sites which allow users to post guides, this guide was revamped in order to meet certain characteristics, such as the maximum characters per line limit. 1.1 Dec 2005 Guide was made into a "complete" document, including notes on the basics of the game, legal disclaimer, credits, etc. 1.2 Sep 2008 Given a serious intent to publish on the Internet this document was again "revamped"; pretty much all content other than the charts was added. I stayed up until 5 a.m., during Hurricane Ike, while the power went out and the computer was running on a backup battery. This document really is a labor of love. =) My thoughts and prayers go out to my fellow Houstonians in the aftermath of what turned out to be quite a terrible storm. ~ 9/14/08 _____________________________________________________________________________ ___ | | *========================================* | 3 | | GUIDE TO THE GUIDE / BASIC INFORMATION | |___| *========================================* A true walkthrough is unrealistic for this game, as there is no "right" way to proceed from beginning to end. This guide may be handy in the event you wish to go through it and buy as few cars as possible. The charts use the list of cars that can be won, using those cars in races where those cars are required/usable. >>This guide may not be 100% accurate.<< - - - - - ------------ SERIES RACES ------------ Important Tip: There are some races in which you must race a series, after which you will win one of several cars, usually different. If it's, say, a ten-race series, you can save after any race -- in this case, save after race #9. Depending on how may points you've accumulated vs. the other drivers, you can either skip or play race 10. If you don't like the car you win after race 10, simply reboot the system and start over, as you will continue from the save point after race 9. The car you win will be random (usually one of four), and if you keep doing this you can win the car you want eventually. You can perpetually win cars from series events (or endurance events), but you'll have to play this entire series again in order to win each additional car. ____ ______________________ | | / \ | 3A | | STARTING OFF - 1st CAR | |____| \______________________/ As mentioned, there is no "right" way to play through this game; this guide written for those who wish to WIN as many cars as possible, and BUY as few as possible. There are several ways to go no matter how you want to play. First is a list of possibilities in the event you DO wish to just buy a car, and then a list of options if you wish to WIN your first car. ---------------------- PURCHASING A FIRST CAR ---------------------- If you choose to just buy an initial car, you have only 18,000 credits and will only be allowed to purchase one of the following: /-------------------------------------------------------------\ | Chrysler PT Cruiser FF 17,980Cr | | Daihatsu Mira TR-XX Avanzato R FF 11,140Cr | | Daihatsu Storia X4 4WD 13,900Cr | | Mazda Demio GL-X FF 14,660Cr | | Mazda Miata MX-5 FR 16,900Cr | | Mazda Miata MX-5 FR 17,000Cr | | Suzuki Alto Works Suzuki Sports Ltd. 4WD 12,220Cr | | Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex FR 13,550Cr | | Toyota Vitz Euro Edition FF 12,880Cr | | Toyota Vitz RS 1.5 FF 14,530Cr | | Volkswagon New Beetle 2.0 FF 15,930Cr | \-------------------------------------------------------------/ The less you spend on a car, the more money you will have left over to spend on performance parts and modifications, which may be necessary in order to win a race (stock cars usually lose against cars of the same kind). Some of the cars in this list are usable for races which are limited to that specific kind of car. Of these: The PT Cruiser may be used on the Stars and Stripes race (although it may do poorly). The Mira TR-XX and the Alto Works are usable on the Lightweight Cup -- I recommend the Alto Works, as the 4WD will be quite handy. The Alto Works is technically usable for the 4wd race, and the Mira for the FF race respectively, although neither is a great choice even with full modification. Similarly, the Storia and the Demio are also technically usable for the 4wd and FF races respectively, but again neither is a great choice even when fully modified. The Miatas can race in the Spider & Roadster races (available in Beginner and Amateur leagues - but will be more useful in Beginner. Other cars will be available for Amateur). The Trueno is a good choice because it can take the most modifications out of all the cars in this list. It is usable for the 80's car races in both Beginner and Amateur. It may be a poor choice for purchase because you can win one in the very first beginner event, the Sunday Cup. The Vitz can be used for the Vitz race in Beginner league. Note that you'll win a Vitz in the FF challenge, but if I'm not mistaken that Vitz is the wrong model, whereas the one you buy is usable. So, you may have to buy one anyway, but you might want to save this until after you've had a few beers because even fully modified it's a slow li'l pokey-car and useless for everything else. The VW Beetle can be used for the Beetle race in Beginner league. All you'll win from that is another Beetle, though, so again save that for a time when you have patience for a pokey-car race. The Beetle makes for a mediocre car in the FF race (fully modified, it's fairly quick.) ------------------- WINNING A FIRST CAR ------------------- There are two ways one can go if one wishes to WIN their first car. One way is to get all gold trophies on any one of the license tests. The other way is to get 1st place on all of the "time trial" challenges in arcade mode. Via the License Test -------------------- There are seven license tests: if you can get gold trophies on all 8 of the tests within any one license, you get a free car. The easiest license to do this on is the "B" license. This will earn you a Miata LS. There are other cars which can be won on the other license tests. If you should win this Miata LS, there are 2 ways to go, depending on your patience. If you want you can just jump into the rest of Simulation Mode, starting with the Sunday and Clubman cups (beginner league). You can use the prize cars from these races to win other races, and continue to win more cars or spend money to enhance the ones you've won. In Simulation Mode, under Endurance races, there is a race especially for the Miatas, called the "Roadster Endurance". One of the conditions for this race is NO tuning. Since there are several models of Miatas which are eligible for this race, one will of course want the FASTEST of the stock models. As it happens, this is the LS model -- the one you win from the B license test. It is possible to BUY an LS model for this race. If you have decided to jump into the rest of simulation mode first before tackling the Endurance races you may have opted to enhance this Miata. For the most part, this is OK; any of the parts you've added MUST be removed prior to entering the Roadster Endurance. You can remove these parts under "settings", which appears before you start any race you've entered, or under "Run and Settings" in the "Home" menu. There are a few exceptions: some items CANNOT be "removed" once they are added. These include: - Porting and polishing the engine - Performing a "Full Balance" on the engine - Increasing the displacement of the engine; or - Performing a Weight Reduction on your car What is most especially important about this race is the PRIZE CAR. There are 4 prize cars available for winning the Roadster Endurance; unfortunately, the prize car you win is chosen at random from these 4. One of them is the F688/S. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, this is an "Indy" style Formula One car. It's a Mid-Engine, Rear-Wheel drive Naturally-Aspirated car and will make dog meat out of just about anything. It's only drawback is a top speed of about 220 MPH, making it a poor choice against other supercars on the Test Course. ** Look under SECTION 7: CHARTS > ENDURANCE > ROADSTER for more info ** - - - - - The 2nd easiest license to get all gold medals on is the Rally License; this will give you an Impreza Rally car. This will allow you to race Rally races, and the bonus cars you get in the Rally races are better than the ones you get in most of the beginner league races, so this may be a good place to start. Know that achieving all golds on the Rally license is far easier said than done, and it will probably be much more fun to just jump in the game than to play the same track over and over andoverandover. Via the Time Trials ------------------- Another way to obtain a free car is to "win" the TIME TRIALS in arcade mode. This is the only time where you can win something usable for Simulation Mode from the Arcade Mode. There are ten time trials to beat. On each one, you will see the "top 3" times listed. "Beating" the time trial means getting a faster time than the person in the #1 spot, and putting your name on the board. If you achieve this great goal, you get the PANOZ ESPERANTE GT-1. Although this isn't the absolute fastest car in the game it's a hot contender amongst the supercars which are. With this you can easily beat MOST of simulation mode. Note: it's a front-engine/rear-wheel-drive car ("FR"), and naturally aspirated ("NA"). Note that beating the time trials is essentially like trying to obtain all gold trophies on the super license, only just a tad easier. _____________________________________________________________________________ ___ | | *==============* | 4 | | MENU SCREENS | |___| *==============* Once you turn the game on and wait through the opening video - or opt out of it (press the start button) - you are brought to a main menu. Your menu options appear as follows: ____________________ | | | MAIN MENU | |____________________| | | | ARCADE | | SINGLE RACE | | TIME TRIAL | | FREE RUN | | 2-PLAYER BATTLE | | CLEAR STATUS | | LOAD GARAGE | | I.LINK BATTLE | | SIMULATION | | GT AUTO | | MACHINE TEST | | LICENSE | | CAR DEALER | | TUNE SHOP | | GO RACE | | HOME | | Garage | | Game Status | | Trade | | Run & Setting | | Save | | Legal Credits | | REPLAY THEATRE | | LOAD REPLAY | | DEMONSTRATION | | ANALYZER | | LOAD | | SAVE | | FILE OPERATIONS | | OPTIONS | |____________________| _____________________________________________________________________________ ___ | | *=============* | 5 | | ARCADE MODE | |___| *=============* ____ ___________ | | / \ | 5A | | SINGLE RACE | |____| \___________/ Self-explainatory; you get to race. This can be fun if you're a beginner just playing for the first time. You don't have to beat any license tests or buy/win any cars in order to play. Note that as you play the "single races" your "percentage complete" will increase (you can check this out in simulation mode, under the "home" icon). Beating ALL the single races can take quite a while, as there's quite a bit to it. Once you choose to play a single race in arcade mode, you'll be asked to do 3 things: 1. Select a difficulty level 2. Select a Track 3. Select a class of car (and then a car) DIFFICULTY LEVEL Your choices of difficulty level include Easy, Normal and Hard. SELECT TRACK The tracks are arranged in "areas". For help with this, see "Clear Status". You will only be allowed to race on one of six tracks at first; this is Area A. You can race them in any order. Once you have beaten everything in Area A you will have unlocked Area B; once you have beaten everything in Area B you will unlock Area C, and so on and so forth. Once you have beaten ALL the races you get a prize: no, not a free car for use in simulation mode - you get to watch the ending credits. There are two versions available to watch. The difficulty level has an effect on what you earn as you progress through the Arcade Single Races. If you select "Easy" mode (for each race in one Area), then by the time you've cleared that area all you get is another Area to beat, until you beat all available tracks. If you select "Normal" mode, then as you beat the tracks (and hence Areas) you not only unlock the next Area and set of tracks it contains, but also you will have one or two additional cars added to the small list from each class available. If you select "Hard" mode, then you get credit for having beaten both the "Easy" and "Normal" difficulty settings for that particular track even if you haven't played that particular track at those respective difficulty levels. Once you clear a certain area, you (of course) unlock the next area. Not only will you get the added car from the Normal mode, you also get an additional car for having beaten the Area in Hard mode. SELECT CLASS & CAR There are 6 classes of cars: Class C - low powered Class B - medium powered cars Class A - performance cars Class S - "Super" cars, i.e. Race Cars Rally - Only usable for Dirt tracks (rally races) Home Garage - you can use any of the cars in your home garage from Simulation mode (if you have any). Note: you will not be allowed to use a particular car from your home garage on a dirt track if that car does not have dirt tires purchased for it. As mentioned, each "class" (except for your home garage) will only have so many cars at first. As you progress through the Areas you'll notice another car added here and there to a certain class. The FULL list of cars - including those which are "won", is: C-CLASS: | B-CLASS Toyota Altezza | Honda S-2000 SLK 230 Kompressor | Legacy B4 Blitzen MR-S S-ed | S-15 Spec.

The following chart will show: (1) the name of the track; (2) the car given, and (3) the time to beat. MIDFIELD MotorSport Elise 1'25.553 TRIAL MTN Miata 1.8 RS 1'47.968 TOKYO RT 246 S2000 type V 2'02.270 DEEP FOREST GT-R v-spec II 1'25.350 LAGUNA SECA Viper GSR 1'22.716 APRICOT HILL Castrol Supra 1'17.447 GRAND VALLEY Raybrig NSX 1'48.795 SWISS ALPS Imprezza Rally Car 1'23.104 TAHITI MAZE Lancer Evo 6 Rally 1'58.459 COMPLEX STRING RUF RGT 4'52.716 ____ ________ | | / \ | 5C | | FREE RUN | |____| \________/ A "just for kicks" session which does not add anything to the percentage of game completion. Pick your track (every track in the game is available), pick your car (from the list available under "Single Race" *IF* you've won those cars from Single Race), take as many laps as you want and record your best time. ____ _______________ | | / \ | 5D | | 2-PLAYER BATTLE | |____| \_______________/ Also self-explainatory. Cars can be picked from the "Single Race" list, or loaded from one's home garage. If the person you're playing against has cars loaded in a garage on a 2nd memory card, this card can be inserted into slot 2 and loaded as a "guest" garage. ____ ____________ | | / \ | 5E | | CLEAR STATUS | |____| \____________/ Very Useful! This shows what races you've completed under Single Race, and at what level. It also shows what areas have been unlocked, and what races are in those areas. If you complete a race at the "Normal" setting, the dot for the "Easy" setting will show as complete, even if the race was never actually won at the easy level. Likewise, if you complete the race under "Hard" you will be given credit for having beaten that race at both the easy and normal difficulty levels. - - - - - ALSO... Arcade Mode > LOAD GARAGE ------------------------- Perhaps if you've switched memory cards in slot 1, or are going back and forth between games saved to memory cards in both slots? Arcade Mode > I.LINK BATTLE --------------------------- Allows you to play online. _____________________________________________________________________________ ___ | | *=================* | 6 | | SIMULATION MODE | |___| *=================* Welcome to the Simulation Mode portion of the disk. This is where the meat of the game is. Once in Simulation Mode, the main screen from here is not in any order - it's more like a map where the arrow can be moved to different icons on the screen. Numerous sub-menus appear from there. ____ _______ | | / \ | 6A | | GT AUTO | |____| \_______/ There are 3 options available here: Car Wash, Oil Change, and Wheel Shop. CAR WASH - makes your car look all shiny again. The paint job on any car will actually start to look dull after so many races. Does not seem to affect anything other than cosmetics (shiny cars don't seem faster). OIL CHANGE - a "secret" within the game. As cars rack up miles their oil gets dirty. As the oil gets dirty they lose performance, mainly horse- power. In fact, when the oil gets dirty enough the oil lamp icon will appear on the "dashboard" in the (needle) speedometer. And the secret? If you win or buy a car, brand-new zero-miles, and take it in for an oil change BEFORE driving it you get a slight boost in horsepower. Its never very much, but hey every little bit helps right? WHEEL SHOP - You get to purchase new rims for your ride. This is the only cosmetic enhancement you get to make for your car. Unlike Gran Turismo 2, you don't have the option of doing a "racing stripes" modification to your cars. Once a set of rims has been purchased it will be available for all your cars at no additional cost. ____ _________ | | / \ | 6B | | TUNE SHOP | |____| \_________/ The Tune Shop has a menu with 6 areas, which are: SUSPENSION & BRAKES ENGINE & INTAKE DRIVETRAIN TURBO TIRES STABILITY CONTROL & OTHERS The full menu will look like: SUSPENSION & BRAKES Suspension - Sports Suspension - Semi-Racing Suspension - Full Customization Sports Brakes Brake Balance Controller ENGINE & INTAKE Muffler & Air Cleaner - Sports Muffler & Air Cleaner - Semi-Racing Muffler & Air Cleaner - Racing NA Tune - Stage 1 NA Tune - Stage 2 NA Tune - Stage 3 Port / Polish Engine Full Engine Balancing Displacement Racing Chip DRIVETRAIN Clutch - Single plate Clutch - Twin plate Clutch - Triple plate Flywheel - Sports Flywheel - Semi-Racing Flywheel - Racing Carbon Driveshaft Transmission - Sports Transmission - Semi-Racing Transmission - Full Customize Limited Slip Differential - 1-way Limited Slip Differential - 1.5-way Limited Slip Differential - 2-way Limited Slip Differential - Full Customize TURBO Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Intercooler - Sports Intercooler - Racing TIRES Simulation Sports Racing T2 Super-Slick T3 Slick T4 Medium-Slick T5 Medium T6 Medium-Soft T7 Soft T8 Super-Soft Dirt STABILITY CONTROL & OTHERS Lightweight - Stage 1 Lightweight - Stage 2 Lightweight - Stage 3 AYC Controller ("Automatic Yaw Control") VCD controller ("Variable Center Differential") ____ _____________ | | / \ | 6C | | HOME / GARAGE | |____| \_____________/ Clicking the "Home" icon will bring up another menu with 6 options: GARAGE - This is where you find all the cars you've won/bought for simulation mode. You can choose to get in your car, sell it, examine the specific specs or change the wheels. GAME STATUS - This shows your progress through Simulation Mode. For one, it shows the "percentage complete" -- when this reaches 100% you've beaten the game. It will also show the highest level of license you've achieved, as well as the number of respective bronze, silver and gold trophies you've acquired on the license tests. TRADE - Used to purchase cars between one memory card and another. RUN & SETTING - There are 6 tracks to choose from: Midfield Apricot Hill Laguna Seca Test Course Complex String You can take any car in your garage. You can change the settings, and/or add and remove parts purchased from the tune shop. These settings will be saved if you wish to then take the same car later on to a race. SAVE - Saves your progress in the game. LEGAL CREDITS - [ self-explanatory ] ____ _________ | | / \ | 6D | | GO RACE ! | |____| \_________/ In short this is all the races in Simulation Mode. There are 5 categories: Beginner League Amateur League Professional League Rally Races Endurance Races For more specific information, see Section 7 of this guide; "CHARTS". ____ _____________ | | / \ | 6E | | LICENCE TESTS | |____| \_____________/ This is in fact a crucial part of the game. In Simulation Mode nearly every race will require you to have a certain license in order to enter the race. There are 6 licenses to obtain altogether. They are: - The B License - The A License - The International B License - The International A License - The Super License - The Rally License On each license there are 8 tests to pass. On each test there are 3 times to beat. If you can beat the lowest time presented you get a gold trophy. If you beat the 2nd lowest time presented you get a silver trophy. If your score exactly matches the fastest time, you still only get a silver trophy, because you have to BEAT the certain times, not match them. Likewise if you beat the 3rd time presented (the longest, and therefore slowest one) you will get a bronze trophy. You only need the bronze in order to pass the test. * If on any license you manage to get ALL gold trophies for each of the 8 tests you get a FREE CAR. * ____ ____________ | | / \ | 6F | | MACHINE TEST | |____| \____________/ Another "just for kicks" section of the game, which does not add to the percentage of game completion. You get to take whatever car you have selected from the home garage and see either how fast it accelerates and/or it's top speed. For acceleration you can choose 0-400 meters or 0-1000 meters. Top speed is measured with one lap around the test course. You will get to enter your name after each run, so you can see which of your cars are the fastest. This can be useful if you wish to adjust the settings of a car prior to taking it on a race on the test course. _____________________________________________________________________________ ___ | | *============* | 7 | | CHARTS !!! | |___| *============* Following are charts showing the various races. - Following the name of the race will be the list of limitations. If there are either no limitations, or simple ones (like certain drivetrains, etc.) these will be listed after a hyphen (-) to the right of the name of the race. If there is a list of eligible cars for a certain race, these cars will be listed underneath the name of the race, indented over 5 spaces. * If one of the eligible cars can be obtained in another race, there will be an asterisk (*) next to it; details on where to obtain that car will be listed below, following an asterisk. ^ Following the list of eligible cars/limitations you'll see the prize car(s) which can be won in that race. Next to the prize car's name you may see a carrot symbol (^). This indicates that this prize can can be useful in another race. Details will follow below, after a carrot symbol. ** If you see the double asterisk, this will provide information on tips for finding cars in other races which may be especially good for winning that race. {} If you see an item in braces, it will be in the details of where a prize car may be obtained. If the prize car is one of several which can be won from a series or endurance race, then the name of this series/endurance race will appear in {braces}. If a certain race only has ONE prize car, that means you can only win that car ONCE -- so it's a good idea not to sell that car. Sometimes you can buy it, but sometimes if you sell it then it's gone for good.

   ** Even though an Elise 190 can be won elsewhere, even fully loaded it
      will likely lose against the Motorsport Elise.  If it's near-stock,
      you may not have a Motorsport Elise as a challenger, but do you really
      want to race a stock 190 vs. others which may or may not be stock?
      So, you may have to buy a Motorsports Elise; and the more you modify
      it, the more Motorsports you'll likely have as competitors.

  ^^ Tuned right, this MR turbo car can almost keep up with the Formula

     ----------------------------------------------


** Because all rally races have the same entry requirements, only the prize
 cars associated with each race will be listed below.  There are cars other
 than Rally cars which can be used in the races, and although they will more
 often be 4WD, sometimes other drivetrains will work.  One example is the
 Mazda RX-7 Infini III (although it's not all that fast).  In order to see
 if a particular car is eligible for Rally races, check to see if it comes
 with or can be equipped with DIRT TIRES.  Most or all Lancer Evolutions and
 Nissan Skylines can be used well.  I believe that any car is eligible to run
 the two "wet" races.  There are a few times in the game when one can win a
 car specifically labelled as a "Rally" car.  These are listed below, before
 the event-prize list.  

In Amateur League: 
 - Evolution Meeting - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car

In Professional League:
 - 4WD Challenge - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Rally Car Prototype
 - Polyphony Digital Cup - {Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Edition}

   ** Most if not all race cars are ineligble to participate, because they
      come with added parts which you cannot remove.  Best way is to take
      your fastest cars and click on the "information" icon before "entering"
      the race -- just be sure they haven't had ported/polished heads, engine
      balancing, enhanced displacement, or a weight-reduction.  Also make
      sure they have all other parts removed (if added); you can remove these
      parts either in "Run & Settings" in the Home menu, or by entering
      another race (like the Sunday or Clubman Cup), hitting "Settings" then
      "Add/Remove Parts".

  ^ ALL Miata MX-5s: Spider & Roadster; FR
  ^ F688 / S : Durn-near everything. It's an MR, NA and superfast.
   ** You MAY have to buy a car for this event. The Miata LS is the fastest
      one stock; double-check at the dealer, then see if there's one in your
      garage.  ANY modification other than tires will disqualify you,
      including everything from a racing chip, a lightweight flywheel, any
      suspension, brakes, etc.  If it has an engine balancing, ported or
      polished heads or a weight-reduction these cannot be undone and will
      disqualify you.  If you have other parts, you can remove them, but
      you'll have to do so before entering the race, either in "Run and
      Settings" in the Home menu, or in something like the Sunday or Clubman
      Cup. Medium-slicks are recommended, as minimizing pit stops is crucial.

   ** There are some users which recommend using the Escudo, putting a rubber
      band over the accelarator (right analog stick) and letting the Escudo
      just ride the walls for those 100 laps.  Might not be a bad way to go,
      but don't go blame MasterBart if you end up losing this way.

This "Walkthrough" was based on several compiled pieces of information.  The
first item used was the list of cars and prizes; this information is readily
available over the Internet from countless sources, as well as from playing
the game itself.  For this reason, I do not identify any author for this
information other than myself.  

While in the process of making personal notes for myself, prior to any intent
of publishing, I gathered much information from GameFAQs.com, most especially
from one "AlaskaFox".  My notes got transferred into computer documents and
then printed (again solely for my own personal use).  Ultimately much of the
information has ended up in this FAQ.  While in the process of playing the
game I have found numerous inconsistencies between what I found in my notes
and what I found in the game.  Unfortunately this game is far too extensive
for me to correct all possible discrepancies.  These "errors" (they may not
be mistakes, if AlaskaFox & I are using different releases) will be either in
the prize cars from the races, or in the cars usable for each race.  These
will only appear in section 7, "Charts".

 The web address from which I gathered AlaskaFox's information is:

   http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/gran_turismo_3_c.txt 

 I can only assume (not guarantee) that this page is still active, and is in
 the same format - and contains the same exact information - as when I found
 it.
