When you can't drive i am sure that some of you are playing to gran Turismo 3 on your playstation 2.
I have no car yet, so i spend all my time on this game and i have finished the time attack mode in 6 hours.
from the first record to the last witch is the difficult complexString with the Ruf.
So i like to know if many people has done the time attack mode ? and how many time they spent on it?

Yup...finished the game (100%) twice already. Can't wait for the next installment!

Ok, shady view...I don't run Midfield very often, but I'll give it a shot. I almost always run Laguna Seca (mostly 'cause I've driven that track for real a number of times). Best lap time there being a 58:11. I do remember doing it a bit quicker than that, but turned off my PS2 before remembering to save.....DOH!!!!

I'll run a few laps at Midfield and let ya know the kind of times I turn. I may try it in my F094H, though. 4 years of F1 technology makes a bit of a difference, heh.

im at 77% three F1 cars and just over 60 cars and 2 million in the bank. i know there are many ppl who greatly exceed these acheivements but i am proud of them and hope to have the game finally finished by novemeber for the release of GT4 :D

SIDEBAR: does neknow know which "f1 cars" are which. i mean historically what are the differeent cars based upon? (eg maybe the red one is a early 90s ferrari F1 car ? the black one a mclaren???) does ne know know the true identities of these special cars?

Well, if you wanna do a little bit of research, you can find out. The F1 cars are named for the engine, the year and the driver. For instance, the F094H is the 10 cylinder car that Damon Hill drove in 1994.

So, you can decode the car by it's name:

F = Formula 1 Car
0 or 6 = Number of cylinders, V10 or V6 Turbo
86, 87, 88, 90 or 94 = Year the car was campaigned
H, S or M = Driver of car:
H is Damon Hill
S is Ayrton Senna
M is Nigel Mansell

If you wanna find out what car each one is based on, cross-reference the info above with F1 history.

Hope that helps ya out!

That was the first thing I completed in the game a long time ago. :)
Complex String was surely the hardest one. I guess it took me about 10 to 15 tries.
Go for 100%!

Whoaaaaa.....hang on a sec! I just went in my garage and noticed that I don't have an F090H!! Didn't know there was one (maybe more) that I didn't have...THANKS shady view!!

Gonna hafta pull out my prize car list and see where I can go win one. SWEET!

Pyro

EDIT: Ummmm....I don't see an F090/H anywhere in the list! Check your garage, shady view. Let me know if you REALLY have that car, and if so, where you won it. I'm thinking you may have made a typo (or a brain typo, lol) on that car.

Question: I have had the game at 98% complete for like 8 months now and I can't figure out where to get the final 2% at.... I've done all the competitions in sim mode, all licenses aquired, all courses beat in arcade mode...I have all the cars and over 10 mil in the bank. Where is the last 2%???? I've looked everywhere! Help!!
:?: :?:

Wait-- what's time attack mode? Could it be called something else or am I missing this? Where do I find this in the game?

ColoradoSilver - Tell ya what...bring that 'Vette down here to Phoenix and let me take 'er for a spin and I'll tell ya! HAH! Just kidding....sort of.

Ok, the last 2% you need is probably the "Time Trial" section of Arcade Mode (that is, if you've completed all the Single Race ones on all three difficulty levels). You need to get at least 3rd place on each of the Time Trial tracks. Not too tough, really....until you get to Complex String. Damn, I dunno what demented wacko created that track...but I like it!! :wink:

Hope that helps ya out!

Pyro

P.S. - Nice car, man!

Ok, shady view....I managed to pull a 52.698 on Midfield. I used my F686/M, since the turbo F1 cars seem to do better on big, flowing tracks like Midfield.

My hand hurts now, and I think the spring in my hand-held wheel controller is just about to break......again (damn MadCatz and their weak steering wheel centering springs!!!).

See what you can do on Laguna Seca. Use any car you want. See how close you can come to my 58.110 and post it here.

Gonna go rest my hand now, lmao!!

Ok...here's something I thought was a bit tougher...have you gotten all gold in ALL the license tests yet?

coloradosilver
03-18-2004, 07:37 PM
I have all gold in all tests except for 4 tests on the hardest license, I'd have to go and look to see exactly what tests they are, but I know that they're silvers. Some I just can't seem to get that gold.

i finished..it was a bit easy...
i would like to know if someone here got all golds in all licenses on Gran turismo 3...do somebody?

callen
04-07-2004, 01:48 PM
i had a tough time gettin anything better than bronze in most cases....but i didnt try again after i had gotten a medal... and now i have a wheel...so who knows i should try again, and attempt to finish the game before GT4....i am about 78 complete now

I've got all gold in all the races, and I had 100% completion until some jackass (one of my roommates) saved over my game, so now I'm back down to around 50%...gonna take a while with all those stupid endurance races.

edit: I should clarify, I got gold in all the license tests and beat the game outright as well.

humm i guess i broke your Midfield records(i didn´t try the Laguna seca record u sad)...used my F686M and got 51.4 seconds at Midfield Speedway, i recorded a video, not while playing, but just to see the record, and took some pics so i´ll post today here to u guys see it

with the F090 i got 53.7 seconds at midfield raceway

i´m still running to go on in the house of 50 " ...it´s possible, but it´s too hard, u have to go toooo fast to get there...i can get an average lap time of 52.0 - 52.2 seconds...

i got just a little set up on the car, because with no changes u can´t go down 52 seconds...so i´m keeping pushing too hard to get the 50 seconds house..i´ll take a photo when i get it, and also record a video, of course, not showing the playing just the record on the screen, and post them here later...

the car i am using is the F686 M...good one, the best i have, i guess the F090 is better at handling and braking, but the first one is awesome at long-short straights and corner-exits linked to straights...awesome car, needs very carefuly driving(and also reckless) to don´t kiss the grass or the wall...

:D

I have 99 trillion dollars, lol thanks to gameshark.

Anyways, I only have the F1 race in professional to do... after that im all done. I did Time Trial took me days... the race that I lost the most was the miata one! I hate driving that underpower lightweight car. :lol: I got it done anyways. Im trying to beat the F1 race now, so that I can finish the game.

Cant wait for GT4.

humm i gol all time trial races in arcade mode in first place, and also got first in every championship at begginer, amateur and professional modes, including the F1 champion...and also got the endurance races...

now i´m just trying to beat my personal records, as i posted today the one i´ve got.

06-11-2004, 12:02 PM
complex string is very cool, and easy..i got about 4 or 5 seconds better than the CPU first time...too easy

veilsidebr
06-11-2004, 12:05 PM
the F1 championship, in professional mode, i won it 2 times: first with a mazda 787B with a turbo that i had put on it, and the second time with mine F090

both 2 times i didn´t lost any race...

the first time i played with the mazda was a bit difficult because the CPU has a veryy-faster car than me...but i could.. =)

i came up till like 60 % but it turned sooo boring cause of the tyre change, it sucked the slicks lasted like 2 laps.... gt2 was so much better in that aspect... btw in gt, gt2 and gt3 i have all licenses in the highest ranking...

beat this: 53.08 sec with the Toy GT-ONE TSO 20 race car
1323 bhp/8000 rpm and 1342 Nm of torque/ 6000 rpm

no electronic helpsat all, just drifting and a good driver

Do all of you guys use a MadCatz steering wheel or the Logitech ones. I have tried using the controller and it seems much easier if I got a steering wheel. Whay are your opinions?

humm i personally don´t know how the guy could get 1323 hps from the GT-One....
mine´s has just 1122 and is already oil checked, turbochargered...i really think he has cheated to get 1300 hps from it

my best time was 55.8 with my car, 1122 hps....tell me how to get 1323 and i can try to beat that 53 seconds house. :shock:

i've never cheat! and also i don't understand how it's possible you don't have the same power! i come from belgium lol "le plat pays" have probably an influence on the cars lol!

and also we have the most awsome track with the nurburgring nordsheilfe, Spa-Francorchamps!

it also depnds on the mileage of your car..
as soon as you win or purchase a car change the oil BEFORE you do anything to it, as the mileage increases the power drops, but once it gets a certain amount on the odometer it aparently increases hp a little and dosen't lose power from then on
try it with the Escudo, i got over 1,800 hp

it's true, i think i've more than 8000 km with the toyota GT-one.

07-14-2004, 12:04 AM
it doesn't matter for the GT-One...I've received it, and changed the oil immediately, no matter what I've done (including run for about 2000 miles) it won't go past 1122bhp.

rachaderua
07-14-2004, 03:42 PM
ya now i´ve got after thinking and geting a little read. The Race version of GTONE is abble to go untill 1350 hps with tunning and oil change. THe Road Version(Mine) is just about to go untill 1122 hps...so there´s a big diference....

i will try to get the Race version so we will be abble to talk :D

I am just trying now to beat my personal time and go in the house of low 49 seconds with the F094S...my time now is 50.6 seconds..i ´ve made some improvements yesterday and it is possible to go faster now..just practicing the minimal details of the circuit to get faster :D
