HINTS/TIPS

----------

Tip: 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. 



Tip: Properly braking in GP3 without locking the 

tires along the way is a difficult thing to do. A 

wise approach is to hit the brakes hard when coming 

to a turn, then back off as you (a) slow down and 

(b) hear the sounds of tire squeal and/or see puffs 

of tire smoke. Alternately, a quick succession of 

brake "blips" after the initial hard application 

should be enough to stop you while convincing the 

program that you're not locking the tires. And use 

those brake markers! If you see the 100 marker go 

flying by and you haven't yet started to brake, it 

may be too late. 



Tip: 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 

don'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. 



Tip: 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.
