NOTE: As their name suggests hints are not exactly Grand Prix 3 cheats, and are usually just simple (but very useful) tips on how you can unlock secret level, features, find hidden areas and such. Hopefully these will make playing Grand Prix 3 even more entertaining.
Speed up the game
As is the case with most high-end racing simulations where
exacting car control is crucial, nothing will ruin your day
like an overburdened processor and the jumpy frame rate and/or
slow gameplay it will cause. In GP3, depressing the O key
while in the cockpit will reveal your current processor occupancy
rate, a figure that must be kept under 100 percent. If you're
running over that number, first try reducing the detail in
your mirrors. If you're still high, drop the resolution to
800x600. And if that doesn't work, drop Trackside Objects
to Low, then click the box beside "Reduced texture detail
(Hardware 3D)." All of these modifications will make life
easier for your processor without adversely affecting any
of the game's most critical visual cues.
Rain Driving
Rain driving in GP3 presents a whole new batch of problems,
as it does in real life. It is important to remember that
even a perfect setup won't allow you to hammer the throttle.
Instead, this is a time to practice your smoothness-- never
act hastily, and slowly introduce any changes in velocity
and momentum. And in the garage beforehand, try increasing
the downforce and softening the suspension. Of course, then
you'll have to increase the ride height, too, in order to
stop the frame from contacting the ground.
Entering a corner
If you're a newcomer to automobile simulation racing, the
most important Driver Aid you have at your disposal is the
Best Line. Turn this aid on and a dotted line will appear
on the pavement to show you where on the track your car should
be positioned to best set up for maximum speed through the
turns. Remember, entering a corner from the outside, cutting
inside to the apex, then swinging back outside during the
exit--using the curbs if you must--is the only way to drive.
