These are to help you locate certain sections of the FAQ, as listed in the index. Use Ctrl + F on most Word Processors and in Internet Explorer to use the Find/Locate command. Example:If you are looking for the section "Licences - B Licence", type 'iv-a' into the Find box. 'iv' is the Index Number and 'a' is the section number. This will take you to the beginning of the section. -=================================================- -= OPTIONS =- -=================================================- Index Number: i This section has been removed, as it is absolutely pointless. If you wish to see this section, visit one of the websites which has stolen my FAQ, and you'll get version 1.1 or something close to it. NOTE TO PEOPLE WHOLE STEAL FAQS: I will hunt you all down and kill you, either that or get your website removed from the server. -=================================================- -= ARCADE MODE =- -=================================================- Index Number: ii There are four difficulty modes in Arcade: Easy - I wonder how tough this one is? - 2 Laps in every race Normal - Slighlty more difficult - 3 Laps per race Hard - Arrrrggghhh!!! A tough cookie! - 5 Laps per race Pro - Sssshhhh! It's a secret. - Dunno, haven't tried it. When you get first position in all races(thirty-four of em) in each difficulty level, you will open a prize. I haven't played Arcade much, so I've only completed Easy mode. Post the prizes for the other modes. Thanks to whoever posted the message about Pro mode! To open Pro mode, press L1 and R1 together on the difficulty mode screen. Prizes: Easy - Ending Movie A Normal - ?-?-? Hard - ?-?-? Pro - There are Six Areas in Arcade mode, all of which contain some new tracks. To advance to the next area, you must win all tracks in the current area first. When you complete an Area on Hard difficulty, you will be rewarded with a prize car. I'll get around to this next update. The tracks in each area are: Area A ------ -Mid-Field Raceway -Mid-Field Raceway II -Smokey Mountain -Super Speedway -Swiss Alps -Trial Mountain Area B ------ -Grand Valley Speedway -Laguna Seca Raceway -Rome Circuit -Smokey Mountain II -Taihiti Circuit -Tokyo Route 246 Area C ------ -Deep Forest Raceway -Seattle Circuit -Special Stage R5 -Swiss Alps II -Test Course -Trial Mountain II Area D ------ -Apricot Hill Raceway -Grand Valley Speedway II -Rome Circuit II -Taihiti Circuit II -Taihiti Maze -Tokyo Route 246 II Area E ------ -Cote D'Azur -Deep Forest Raceway II -Seattle Cicuit II -Special Stage R11 -Special Stage R5 II Area F ------ -Apricot Hill Raceway II -Special Stage R11 II -Special Stage R5 -Special Stage R5 II -Taihiti Maze II -=================================================- -= SIMULATION MODE =- -=================================================- Index Number: iii Home ---- You start at home with your wife and three lovely kids. I wonder what the wife(or husband, forgive me women drivers) thinks of your choice of career. I know, I know, you're just trying to raise money to send little Timmy to University. But didn't your mystery benefactor(kinda Great Expectations-like this is) leave you 20 grand? Wouldn't that pay for Timmy's education? But no, you're greedy, you want more. And you're right too... Welcome to the world of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec! From Home, you can look in your garage, which is currently empty. How did you drive Timmy to the Football Games with no car? You can look at your Game Status, which lists nothing thusfar. You can Trade cars with another Memory Card. You can Save the Game and view the Credits. You can also head off to the shops, races and others. Garage ------ This stores your valued motors. You can sort your cars(when you get some), by a simple press of the START button. There are numerous sorting methods including: Car name, manufacturer(the one you should choose), value, and even colour! So if you want all your blue cars in the one place, you can have it! Oh yeah, your garage can hold up to 200 motors, but no more(is that not enough for you? this is one big garage!). First thing every driver needs...no not furry dice, a car! Car Dealer ---------- The Car Dealer screens, alias Heaven. Here you will find everything you ever dreamt of, not that you can afford it, mind, but it's here. Find a car that tickles your fancy(that is one strange expression), and get in the driving seat. When buying a new car, there is no 2nd-hand ones like the prequels, you can change the colour before you purchase, so select wisely. You can also have a look at the Specs if you like. Next we need to be allowed to drive... Licence Centre -------------- Here you can do numerous tests in order to achieve your goal: Every licence. I'll describe the steps in gaining licences later in this FAQ. We want to check out that car of ours.... Machine Test ------------ You can do a few tests here, but always favourite is the Top Speed test. Get in your vehicle and put the pedal to the metal. Also, if you have time (you won't), try out the 0-400m test. At last, off to the track....Right, I'm back, that horse was a no-hoper! I lost 5 Euro! Damnit! Oh right, you wanted a racing track.... Go Race ------- Here is the most used screen in the game. The race screen. There are many races here, but only some you can enter straight away. Some need licences, some need a mid-engined car or a 4wd, some need Rally Tyres. Yes, I know you're not reading this, you're racing, but listen to me! Or read my text, since you're not hearing my voice. Start off on the Beginner Races, and make your way through the Amateur Races, then onto the rock-hard Professional Races. Also give the Endurance Races and Rallies a try, in fact do it all! That's why you bought/rented/pawned/sold your soul for this game! I'll explain all in more detail later. Now that we've got more money we can turn our vehicle into a mean-green(or red, blue, white, whatever colour it is) driving machine. Tune Shop --------- Siopa Tuineach as the Irish would say, probably not, but I wanted to add a bit of Gaeilge to my FAQ to make it unique. Here you can buy parts for you car to make it better, new tyres, and maybe you might get a smelly tree if you're lucky. GT Auto ------- Here you can get some Alloy Wheels or a Car Wash. Alloys look great, don't you think? But the car wash is a waste of Credits. -=================================================- -= LICENCES =- -=================================================- Index Number: iv There are many kinds of licence: TV Licence, Dog Licence, Sale of Alcohol Licence...mmmm, duff beer....Sorry, anyway, you want a driving licence. Head down to the Test Center, Select which Licence you want, NO! you need to open the earlier ones before you can try the I-A Licence, silly. The key to getting the licences is watching the computer demos, that way you'll see what you need to do to achieve your goal. =---------------------------------= =- B Licence -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: iv-a B-1 --------------------------------- Start, Acceleration and Braking G/S/B: 0:35:100 / 0:35:400 / 0:35:800 Car: Volkswagen New Beetle 2.0 Game Help: Accelerate from a standing start and stop as quickly as possible in the goal area beyond the finish line at 1000 metres. It is best to switch from full acceleration to full braking. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: When you come to around 950m brake, yeah, that's it. B-2 --------------------------------- Start, Acceleration and Braking II G/S/B: 0:25:600 / 0:25:800 / 0:26:300 Car: Dodge Viper GTS-R Game Help: This test is similar to B-1, but with a higher powered test car that accelerates quicker but is heavier, so you need to start braking sooner. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This time, brake around the 888m mark to ensure that vital Gold. B-3 ---------------------------------- Basics of Cornering: Front Wheel Drive G/S/B: 0:31:100 / 0:31:400 / 0:32:500 Car: Fiat Coupé Turbo+ track: Deep Forest Raceway Game Help: Negotiate a left turn after a long straight. Brake early and slow before turning. Come in too fast and the car will not turn, but will fly off the outside of the corner. Take it easy going into the corner but hit the gas early coming out. Out of the corner, take full advantage of the track outside edge. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Follow the Blue line along the track, because it's the Racing Line(no pun intended). Brake around 50m from the corner, take it easy around the turn, and accelerate to the finish. You don't need to brake on the finish this time, just pass over it. B-4 ---------------------------------- Basics of Cornering: Rear Wheel Drive G/S/B: 0:29:100 / 0:29:400 / 0:31:000 Car: Honda S2000 Track: Deep Forest Raceway Game Help: This test is the same as B-3, but this time you are driving a high-powered rear-wheel drive car, so hitting the gas too early in the corner risks the rear wheels losing their grip for a spin. In cornering, adjust the accelerator a little at a time and feel for when to go full out. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This time, brake slightly earlier, and wait until your car has straightened out before accelerating onto the finish. B-5 ----------------------------------- Applied Cornering: Front Wheel Drive G/S/B: 0:34:400 / 0:34:800 / 0:36:200 Car: Honda Civic Type-R Track: Grand Valley Speedway Game Help: From a standing start, take three consecutive corners: left, right and left. Rather than going full-out on the first two corners, figure out how to get out of the third corner smoothly by hitting the gas for a fast time. Take the line that puts you in the best shape for getting out of the last corner. Gaining speed on the following long straightaway is more important than anything else. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the first corner at full pelt, and for the second take it easier, but still no braking. They're just warm-up turns for this last one. Brake in the red section, keep it slow and accelerate into the tunnel. B-6 ------------------------------------- Applied Cornering: Rear Wheel Drive G/S/B; 0:33:00 / 0:33:300 / 0:34:700 Car: Mazda MX-5 Roadster LS Track: Grand Valley Speedway Game Help: This course is the same as in B-5, but with a rear-wheel drive, hitting and releasing the gas causes even larger changes in attitude. Be careful not to disturb the car's behavior. This car demands more delicate accelerator control and more careful steering than a front-wheel drive. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the first two turns the same as B-5. This test might as well be B-5, because everything is the same. Just Read B-5 to figure out how to do this. B-7 ------------------------------------- Basics of Complex Corners G/S/B: 0:33:300 / 0:33:800 / 0:35:400 Car: Toyota MR-S S Edition Track: Deep Forest Raceway Game Help: Here you run through a blind high-speed winding section. The left-to-right corner just before the tunnel is a very difficult corner. First get experience in a somewhat underpowered car with less risk. The key is to hit the brakes with the car going as straight as possible. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This one is as easy as pie. How easy is pie, I never baked it. Or does it mean the American Pie way? Uhm.... For the first corner, take your finger off X for a short time, and the same for the next corner. Did I mention "easy"? B-8 ------------------------------------- B Licence Final Exam G/S/B: 0:43:000 / 0:43:400 / 0:46:000 Car: Nissan Skyline GT-R Track: Trial Mountain Game Help: This course has many blind corners. The rocky stretch in the first part requires bold driving with no fear of the rocky cliffs. Use the technique of releasing the gas to turn the car. The speed out of the last left turn has a big effect on the time. The fastest line barely grazes the cliff when coming into the corner and lets out in the depths of the tunnel. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Brake slightly for the first turn, ease of X for the second. And take it easy just before the tunnel. Hopefully you've got all Golds, but maybe not. My Guide to Gold isn't in-depth enough. I'll have to rectify that. Anyway congratulations on getting your B Licence. PRIZE CAR - All Golds in B - Mazda MX-5 Roadster LS =---------------------------------= =- A Licence -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: iv-b A-1 -------------------------------------- Practical Cornering 1 G/S/B: 0:32:900 / 0:33:400 / 0:34:700 Car: Honda NSX Type S Zero Track: Grand Valley Speedway Game Help: Climb a hill with a gentle left and then negotiate a sharp right turn. Trying to approach the right corner from too far to the outside will cause instability under braking, so there is no need to come from excessively far outside. Try to brake in a straight line, aiming for the inside curb. Then you just need to find the point to go to full throttle. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Follow the blue line up to the corner, but as soon as you reach the red lines, brake to get around the corner. Coming out of the corner, straighten out and accelerate to the finish. A-2 -------------------------------------- Practical Cornering 2 G/S/B: 0:26:000 / 0:26:300 / 0:27:600 Car: Nissan Skyline GT-R v-spec II Track: Laguna Seca Raceway Game Help: The secret to a fast time is getting to the inside curb quickly after the end f braking, and using fine accelerator control to trace a long line right next o the curb. Once you see where to come out of the corner and go on the throttle, try to control the tail slide (when the rear tires succumb to too much power and slide to the outside) while riding up just barely on the outside curb. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This test is almost entirely the same as the above one. Follow the guide for that one, and it'll work here. A-3 -------------------------------------- Practical Cornering 3 G/S/B: 0:29:900 / 0:30200 / 0:31:600 Car: Honda S2000 Track: Mid-Field Raceway Game Help: Here you negotiate the fastest number one corner on the Mid-Field Raceway. In contrast to the corners so far that required heavy braking, try downshifting to 3rd gear with light braking and just grazing the inside. Stay in 3rd and keep your speed up while aiming at the curb on the outside to draw a large circular path with a constant radius. There is no need to trace the inside curb all the time. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Another simple test, upon entering the turn jab the brakes and accelerate out. A-4 ------------------------------------- Circle Track: 60R, Dry Road G/S/B: 0:43:900 / 0:44:300 / 0:46:200 Car: Mazda RX-7 Type RZ Track: Circle Track: 60R Game Help: Three laps around a circular track with a 60-m raidus. Try using fine steering and accelerator control to keep to a line right next to the inside curb from start to finish. Just before the finish line, gain time by using the full width of the track so that you cross the finish line all the way to the outside. Watch for tail slides from hitting the gas too hard. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: The strategy for this test is pumping the accelerator so as not to exceed 70mp/h, as long as you stay around 65, you should be OK. Keep to the inside of the track to finish this quicker. A-5 ------------------------------------- Circle Track: 100R, Dry Road G/S/B: 0:55:800 / 0:56:300 / 0:59:000 Car: Mazda RX-7 Type RZ Track: Circle Track: 100R Game Help: Three laps around a circular track with a 100-m raidus. Try using fine steering and accelerator control to keep to a line right next to the inside curb from start to finish. Just before the finish line, gain time by using the full width of the track so that you cross the finish line all the way to the outside. Watch for tail slides from hitting the gas too hard. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This is the same as the previous one, with a larger track. The strategy is almost the same this time, just keep the speed below 90 and hog the inside kerb(that's how it's spelled in Ireland) to get Gold. A-6 -------------------------------------- Long Corners G/S/B: 0:27:000 / 0:27:500 / 0:29:500 Car: Jaguar XKR Coupé Track: Mid-Field Raceway Game Help: This is a left/right complex corner. Avoid getting close to the inside too early on the first right corner and aim for the inside curb at the tunnel entrance. The next corner is a left, so avoid going all the way to the outside but rather point the car to the right side of the track and get ready for the next left corner. In the long left corner, avoid goosing the accelerator and keep to the inside without haste. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: You'll be already moving when this test begins, so hold the accelerator before the test begins. Keep accelerating down to the first corner, but as you near it, hit the brakes and take an inside line. If you did this right, braking will not be needed for the next corner, just a decrease in acceleration. A-7 ------------------------------------- Blind Corner G/S/B: 0:14:200 / 0:14:700 / 0:15:400 Car: Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Track: Grand Valley Speedway Game Help: You must negotiate a right turn at the top of a hill in Seattle. The corner is completely blind, so getting ready to brake in advance is necessary. After landing the last jump, brake immediately and turn to the right, aiming for the inside curb. Hit the gas once you are cleanly on the curb and use the outside wall as far as possible. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Another rolling start this one, so be ready! Continue accelerating up to the first turn, following the blue lines. When you reach the red ones, brake to get you around the turn.(It's always the same, isn't it? Follow blue, brake red) A-8 -------------------------------------- A Licence Final Exam G/S/B: 0:15:530 / 0:16:000 / 0:17:800 Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR Track: Mid-Field Raceway Game Help: This is the most difficult stretch of Mid-Field. In the small S-corner, ignore the first left and focus on the next right. Make a deep cut into the right curb and come out as close as possible to the next hairpin. Brake while disturbing the car's attitude to turn toward the inside. They key lies in turning the car sharply in the first half of the corner so that you can hit the gas when coming out. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Another Rolling start, this time at 100mp/h. Take the blue line again, and take the first corner wide. Take the second one tight, and brake hard for the final one. Wohoo, another licence! Congratulations on getting your licence, you only got it because you were flirting with the tester! Prize for all Golds: Mazda RX-8 =---------------------------------= =- International B licence -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: iv-c IB-1 ---------------------------------------- Circle Track: 60R, Wet Road G/S/B: 0:49:600 / 0:50:200 / 0:52:800 Car: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Track: Circle Track: 60R Game Help: Three laps around a circular track with a 60-m radius. This is basically the same test as A-4, but this time the road is wet as if after a rain. The test car has the traction control and other driver assist features turned off, so even more delicate accelerator control is required. See how the car reacts depending on how you step on the gas. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Keep to the centre of the road at all times, keeping the milometer at 95mph. If you start to drift inside, speed up a little, but try to keep it between 90 and 100mph at all times. IB-2 ------------------------------------------ Circle Track: 100R, Wet Road G/S/B: 1:01:600 / 1:02:400 / 1:05:500 Car: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Track: Circle Track: 100R Game Help: Three laps around a circular track with a 100-m radius. This is basically the same test as A-5, but this time the road is wet as if after a rain. The test car has the traction control and other driver assist features turned off, so even more delicate accelerator control is required. See how the car reacts depending on how you step on the gas. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This is the same as the previous one but you can go above 100mph this time, and stay above it! IB-3 -------------------------------------------- Braking and Cornering 1 G/S/B: 0:22:450 / 0:23:000 / 0:24:500 Car: Honda S2000 Type V Track: Seattle Circuit Game Help: Here you negotiate a 90-degree right turn at the end of the Seattle back straightaway, and crank two consecutive sharp turns. Without a solid feel for the point to start braking, not only will you overshoot the first right corner but the car's attitude will be bad for entering the subsequent turns, resulting in a big time loss. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Brake hard at the second turn sign, and turn into the corner. Take the next turn out wide and the chicane wide also, and the rest should be no problem. IB-4 --------------------------------------------- Braking and Cornering 2 G/S/B: 0:19:700 / 0:19:700 / 0:21:200 Car: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Track: Seattle Circuit Game Help: This test has you negotiate Seattle's number 1 corner. This is a squared off U-shaped corner combining two 90-degree turns. After braking fully to the right speed, try to run a smooth circular line that clips the corners of both turns. Even if you are not right at the inside of the first turn, be sure to clip the second corner, taking a line that emphasizes the corner exit. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: At the first U-turn sign, brake. Turn around the corner, keeping above 35mph at all times. IB-5 --------------------------------------------- Turning, Accelerating, and Weight Shift G/S/B: 0:28:800 / 0:29:300 / 0:30:500 Car: RUF 3400s Track: Grand Valley Speedway Game Help: This is the final stretch of Grand Valley. After accelerating while turning through the tunnel, negotiate two consecutive hairpin turns. While accelerating through the tunnel, avoid swinging too far out. In the double hairpin, change the orientation of the car with rythmical accelerator on/off action. Trying too hard in the first right will make you suffer in the second, more important corner. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the inside line for the first corner, and go wide 'round the S-bend. Brake while turning to go through the S-bend. IB-6 ----------------------------------------------- Fast Slalom 1 G/S/B: 0:23:900 / 0:24:200 / 0:26:200 Car: RUF RGT Track: Complex String Section Game Help: Cars are susceptible to spin on this slalom track. The test car has the driver assist features turned on. Here you can safely learn how to turn with the accelerator off and stabilize the car with the accelerator on-an important lesson in accelerator control for driving a car. The rhythm is something like "turn the car and then hit the gas while passing the cones". Try to take actions far, far in advance. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Speed through the first two turns, but slow down for the third. Ease off for the rest of the turns. It isn't as tough as tying your laces. IB-7 ------------------------------------------------- Fast Slalom 2 G/S/B: 0:24:000 / 0:24:300 / 0:26:300 Car: RUF RGT Track: Complex String Section Game Help: Now the test car's stability control system (which surpresses car spin) is turned off. It is now necessary to turn with the accelerator off and stabilize the car with the accelerator on much more carefully. By comparing against the previous test, you should see just how much cars now depend on technology. The key is to take actions far, far in advance to prevent car movements from becoming too large. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Do the exact same as the last test except a small bit slower. IB-8 ---------------------------------------------------- International B Licence Final Exam G/S/B: 0:31:700 / 0:32:000 / 0:33:7000 Car: Honda NSX Type S-Zero Track: Apricot Hill Game Help: This is the most difficult stretch of Apricot Hill. You just graze the inside of the first high-speed left and control the car from its unstable attitude while intermittently applying brakes to enter the second left. Make sure you are able to keep solidly to the inside of the left corner. In the subsequent S turn section, watch for excess speed while rhythmically tracing the curbs. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Keep to the right of the track. As you start to turn in for the corner, ease off the gas. Slow down for the second corner, and use the curbs to get through the final few corners. Congratulations! International-B Licence Acquired. Though that was tough?, now you better try it in the game. Reading it was hard, but doing is tougher. =---------------------------------= =- International A Licence -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: iv-d IA-1 ---------------------------------------- Fast Complex Corners 1 G/S/B: 0:40:000 / 0:40:700 / 0:42:500 Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car Track: Tokyo R246 Game Help: This is a technical section in the middle of Tokyo Route 246. Take the first left by lightly letting up on the gas. Take the right corner at the top of the hill by braking just before starting to climb the hill. It is a blind corner, so be sure to remember the point when to start turning. If you think of this as one large corner, you will be able to drive through it quickly. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Go wide for the first corner and use the kerb as you cut into the corner. Keep pumping the accelerator to keep a constant speed around the corner. Take a straight line through the next two corners and set yourself up on the left for the straight. At the top of the hill, slam on the brakes as you turn. Use the kerb, then go wide for the next corner. Again, for the last corner, pump the accelerator to keep a constant speed. IA-2 --------------------------------------------- Fast Complex Corners 2 G/S/B: 0:15:700 / 0:15:900 / 0:16:400 Car: Spoon S2000 Track: Trial Mountain Game Help: This is the last fast chicane on Trial Mountain. Basically you should be able to take it at full throttle. The rhythm going from the first left to cutting right is important. After riding up onto the left curb, you must turn right immediately or risk crashing into the wall on exit. Riding up too far on the high curb on the right side will make the car jump, so try to graze it just barely. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Stay to the right for the straight, and cut into the corner, coming out of it, keep to the right again and the next two corners should be easy. But beware of the second of the two, don't jerk the car around or you'll risk spinning. IA-3 ---------------------------------------------- Fast Complex Corners 3 G/S/B: 0:23:400 / 0:23:800 / 0:25:000 Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car Prototype Track: Deep Forest Game Help: This is the same track as in B-7. YOur car has more power this time, requiring more accurate steering and rhythmical accelerator control. In the corner that turns broadly to the right after leaving the first tunnel, inadvertantly hitting the gas too early will cause the car to fly off to the outside, so you must wait patiently for the point to go to full throttle. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Use the inside line for the first two corners. Take the third wide, but cut in gradually to make it through in time. IA-4 ------------------------------------------------ Braking and Cornering 3 G/S/B: 0:32:200 / 0:32:400 / 0:34:400 Car: Honda Castrol Mugen NSX GT Car Track: Tokyo R246 Game Help: This section is from the latter half of Tokyo Route 246. In the braking into corner number 1, it is important to find the optimal braking start point that lets you turn into the corner the instant that braking ends. Excessive speed must be avoided at all costs. The S-curve surrounded by fences after the tree lined boulevard also require care in braking solidly before entering and accelerating while leaving. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Keep to the left of the straight. When you reach the grind-strip, start braking. Take the second corner out wide, and brake around the same position again. IA-5 ---------------------------------------------------- Corkscrew G/S/B: 0:23:900 / 0:23:300 / 0:25:000 Car: Dodge Viper GTS Track: Tokyo R246 Game Help: This is the famous corkscrew curve at Laguna Seca. The downhill stretch before the corner makes the brakes less effective, so early braking is required. Finding the best line is difficult, so check out the demo. The left corner after the corkscrew lies after a steep downhill and has a shallow bank, so watch for unusual car movement AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Drive up the hill and go towards the tyre marks. Brake just as you start to come down the hill. Move over a little to the left in preperation for the upcoming turn. Take the kerb route, and take the final turn out wide. IA-6 ------------------------------------------------------ Fast Complex Corners 5 G/S/B: 0:20:100 / 0:20:400 / 0:21:300 Car: Pagini Zonda Z12 Track: Rome Circuit Game Help: This section is in the latte half of the Rome Circuit. These blind S-curves go left-right-left. The back straightaway awaiting afterward is quite long, so think about a line that gives the highest priority to exit speed. The last right corner can definantly be taken at full throttle. It is very important to avoid trying too hard at the exit of the first left corner. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Go wide for the first two bends, and take the inside route for the third. Slow a bit for the first, brake, and slow....Simple. IA-7 ------------------------------------------------------- Undulating Corners G/S/B: 0:46:000 / 0:46:600 / 0:49:500 Car: Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Track: Complex String Section Game Help: Negotiate the consecutive high-speed S curves while going over hills in the final section of the Complex String track. The track is designed so that turning alternates between the hilltops and valleys, so look out for major changes in steering response depending on weight shifts. Coming out well from the last hairpin turn is most important for shortening your time. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the right turn slowly and on the inside. These are just small corners, so take your time. The final corner is a hairpin - beware! IA-8 -------------------------------------------------------- Interantional-A Licence Final Exam G/S/B: 1:08:500 / 1:10:000 / 1:12:500 Car: Nissan Mine's Skyline GT-R V-Spec Track: Complex String Section Game Help: This is a reverse direction run over the constant-radius circular slalom track at Complex String. The radii of the circles get progressively smaller, so focus on controlling your speed to match the turn radius while avoiding understeer. If you lose your rhythm and swing too far outside, this results in a big time loss. This test is very difficult. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Although it looks and sounds really hard, in fact it's not. A bronze or better should be achieved on your first go. The secret is to keep to the inside of the turns while mainatining a constant speed.

The main straightaway is paved but watch out as it changes to dirt in corner number 1. After going into the dirt while braking, you will find much more sliding but stay calm and get used to the motion of the car. The steering reaction times become slower so be sure to turn the wheel earlier. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Stay to the left, and then cut into and across the inside. Let off the accelerator a small bit. R-2 ---------------------------------------------- Rally Driving Basics 2 G/S/B: 0:29:200 / 0:29:800 / 0:31:800 Car: Toyota Corolla Rally Car Track: Smokey Mountain Game Help: This test uses the last section of Smokey Mountain. After the gradual uphill left corner, the section with the right-left-right turns one after another can be driven with steering turns made far, far in advance an exited in a straight line. If it goes well, they can be negotiated without ever letting up on the accelerator. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the first corners quickly enough, but slow down for the last corner. Thats it, I'm afraid. R-3 ------------------------------------------------ Rally Driving Basics 3 G/S/B: 0:22:300 / 0:22:700 / 0:24:000 Car: Ford Escort Rally Car Track: Swiss Alps Rally Game Help: This is a S-Curve in the middle section of the Swiss Alps track. Try steering to the left while braking and once you graze the fence on the inside of the grassy area, turn to the right at full throttle. Take the gradual right corner just before reaching the back straightaway in "out-in- out" style by turning the wheel as little as possible. The key to driving here is to cut boldly across the grass areas. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take the first corner pretty tight so you can take the second one wide. Make sure not to hit the fence as doing so will mean failure. R-4 ---------------------------------------------------- Practical Rally Driving 1 G/S/B: 0:22:400 / 0:22:800 / 0:24:300 Car: Toyota Celica Rally Car Track: Tahiti Cicruit Game Help: Here are three connected corners in the last stretch of the Tahiti Circuit. Always brake and steer well in advance to turn the car and trace the shortest path while drifting. The key lies in grasping the relationship between speed and sliding. Excess speed that pushes you too far on the outside will make entering the next corner difficult and lead to time losses. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Take all the corners wide and make sure to use the brake if you're going out. R-5 ------------------------------------------------------ Practical Rally Driving 2 G/S/B: 0:26:850 / 0:27:300 / 0:29:800 Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car Track: Swiss Alps Game Help: This is a difficult section in the final stretch of the Swiss Alps, requiring turn braking in hairpin turns. With full brakes on, just barely graze the fence on the right and when your speed drops low enough, cut back to the left. Taking this corner with a small, compact turn is most important. Drifting too broadly in the final corner will not let you build up speed so try to come out straight. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Brake sharply as you approach the first corner to make sure you can take the second corner well. Take the inside line and then take the final long turn on the inside also. R-6 ------------------------------------------------ Drifting Techniques 1 G/S/B: 0:29:400 / 0:30:000 / 0:31:800 Car:Delta HF Integrate Rally Car Track: Taihiti Maze Game Help: These are four consecutive hairpin turns in the last stretch of the Tahiti Maze. The key to drifting in a tight turn is to use braking and steering to create an opportunity and instantly cause a tail slide by hitting the gas. Thereafter, maintain the car's attitude with steering and accelerator control. If you keep on the countersteer even further, you will get dumped to the outside when exiting. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: This test is all about drifting. There are many tried and tested ways to drift, so try which ever you feel suits you best. These ways can be found on the drifting school on gamefaqs GT3 Message Board. R-7 ------------------------------------------------- Drifting Techniques 2 G/S/B: 0:22:400 / 0:22:800 / 0:24:600 Car: Subaru Impreza Rally Car Prototype Track: Tahiti Maze Game Help: These are three consecutive downhill hairpin turns on the last half of Tahiti Maze II. The basics are the same as in Test R-6, but the downhill makes the car more susceptible to sliding, so try to avoid excessive drift angles. Try to find the point where to hit the brakes so that you just barely graze the inside. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: You can take the first corner at full speed, but slow down more than in R-6 for the other turns. R-8 ---------------------------------------------------- Rally Licence Final Exam G/S/B: 1:58:700 / 2:00:000 / 2:08:000 Car: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Rally Car Prototype Track: Tahiti Maze Game Help: One lap around the Tahiti Maze in the latest rally car prototype version of the Lancer Evolution. In the section with consecutive hairpin turns, try tracing the shortest line with a drifting technique that clips corners right in front of your nose. In the section with consecutive small corners in the middle stretch, it is easy to spin out, so avoid drifting too daringly. Drive the paved road at the end as carefully as the circuit. AlaskaFox's Guide to Gold: Use everything you learned in previous exams! Take all the corners wide by using the brake when drifting to keep away from the walls. Congratualtions!

A big thanks to Not Me for teaching us how to tune. I already know how to tune a radio, but a car? If you wish to ask our resident Tuner a question, go to: http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=27212&topic=1374911 THIS IS THE NEW TUNING TOPIC ------------ INTRODUCTION ------------ "I try to be objective and give general ideas, and principles that are the same regardless. What works for someone else probably won't work for you. That's why, while I can appreciate the trouble someone may go through to create all these settings for different cars and posting them, it just doesn't make sense. Some one that can demolish the game maybe able to pilot a car on the edge of its traction circle a lot better than a beginner, so if a beginner comes here and sets their car up according to someone else's post and can't win with it they'll assume they suck, or the game is just too hard. Don't buy into the "this is the ultimate setup" bit. Nothing works exactly the same for everyone." -Not Me ----------- RIDE HEIGHT ----------- Lowering the ride height lowers the center of gravity making the car more stable in general. Important to remember when lowering the car is to slightly increase your spring rates (I do it uniformly) to compensate for the decrease in travel. If you don't increase spring rates, you'll bottom out and lose speed and handling over quick elevation changes or curbs. Also, if you notice your car bouncing a lot after you lower it, increase the bound rate of the shock absorbers (a lot of this stuff can only be done on the full custom shocks) and like the game says the rebound can be harder but I usually set it equal to the bound. Now on the other hand, if your car is jumping i.e. both front wheels coming off the ground over a curb then your suspension set up is probably too hard, just soften up the springs and shocks a little to take care of this. Don't be afraid to spend time in the Run and Settings place learning what works and doesn't for you and your car. ------------ LIMITED SLIP ------------ Limited slip is kind of a mixed blessing: it locks the wheels together for powerful acceleration, but it can make turning a nightmare. That's why they're limited, a fully locked differential is beneficial for straight line acceleration, but since both wheels must spin at the same speed (because they're locked together) with high hp you'll push straight no matter how much you try to turn, as when you corner in a car the outside wheel has to cover more ground and needs to roll faster, so a limited slip allows you to unlock the wheels during trailing throttle, braking and mild acceleration. It all varies depending on how the car is set up. If you are having severe problems with understeer it could be attributed to having your LSD set to high. A limited slip is a device that allows both wheels to work together when possible, and more importantly allows them to be independent when necessary. During cornering the outside wheels have to travel a further distance than the inside wheels so the outside wheel needs to travel faster to get through the corner with the rest of the car. A fully locked differential won't allow this. In a fully locked diff, both wheels are conjoined, or physically locked together. This is great for straight line acceleration, as both wheels put down max power, however, it induces tons of understeer, and when you put the power down in a corner, you will lurch straight ahead, usually into a wall, because the inability of the outside wheel to outrun the inside wheel is magnified when you put the power down. A limited slip device like in this game is programmable to allow you to adjust how much the wheels lock together initially (coasting or cruising), how much during deceleration (active braking), and acceleration. The numbers are usually represented in percentages. For example the new Porsche GT2 has an asymmetrical diff (that means different values for acceleration and deceleration) with a 60% lock on acceleration and a lower more cornering friendly 40% on trailing throttle (crusing or coasting) and deceleration. You can adjust the values in the game higher or lower to do different things. For example say you're constantly oversteering out of a turn when you try to put the power down, increase the acceleration number a little at a time to induce a little less throttle oversteer. The converse is true as well, if every time you put down the power you rocket straight into a wall, try turning down the acceleration value and you'll get a little more independent wheel spin which will induce better turning than before. Deceleration is the same but hardly as noticeable, you should really have to only deal with acceleration. If you're having turning problems unrelated to acceleration you should probably check out your suspension setup. ---------- BRAKE BIAS ---------- A front brake bias tends towards understeer and stability, but a rear brake bias tends towards oversteer, the more exaggerated the bias, the more pronounced the effect. ---------- SUSPENSION ---------- If you want stiffer suspension then set the spring rate higher, not the ride height. The springs are rated in kg/mm, or how many kg it takes to compress the springs, so the higher you set it the more weight it takes to compress the springs, so you'll see less weight transfer (it will still be the same, just not as dramatic) and yaw (how much the car rolls left and right in turns) will decrease also, but don't get too carried away, increase it in moderation until you find a setting that works for you. Bound and rebound are the functions of the actual shock itself. Bound is the compression of the shock the harder it is the rougher the ride, but better handling, don't get too hard though or all the weight presses down on the shock and tries to compress, and it will have no where to go but back up (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) and then you'll have a very nervous car. The rebound is decompression, or how fast the shock returns from its compressed state to normal, the higher this is set the faster the shock recovers, too high and the car can jump, but too low and it won't recover fast enough and you'll bottom out your suspension in twisty or hilly parts. The rebound can be higher than the bound but I like to keep them uniform. --------- DOWNFORCE --------- Downforce does effect your suspension (in real life anyway), but downforce usually increases with speed i.e. the faster you go the stronger the downforce (measured in pounds) becomes, so when the downforce is high you usually aren't going to pay a big penalty for the few mm of compression you're going to get, because you'll be barreling down a straight. Slightly increase you spring rates if you increase downforce. Low cars have the best center of gravity. The lower you can make your car the faster it will travel, the better it will handle, and the more stable it will be, conversely though there is a limit, too low and you'll scrape over bumps and curbs - drop your car incrementally until it handles right for you. When you lower downforce, increase spring rates, and possibly bound and rebound. SPELLCHECKED TO HERE *********** ------------ GEARS-PART 1 ------------ If you're having trouble launching on a track, but want to keep a shorter gear setting because the track requires strong acceleration, then make 1st gear taller by moving the bar to the left. This will allow you to keep a sporty setting, but make first gear slightly longer creating a little more speed and a little less acceleration for a better launch. This is not a big loss either as 1st is rarely used except in an accident or at the beginning. Again taller gears have smaller numbers for example 4.000 is taller than 4.580, so you can achieve a greater top speed with a 4.000 but less acceleration. -------------- TUNING-GENERAL -------------- The smart tuners order is thus: Make it stop better, then make it handle better, then make it go faster. Most people (in real life, and my friends with a GT game) go this way. Make it faster, faster again, faster some more, oh, now I need to turn better, faster some more. Oh crap, now I can't stop my 200 mph road rocket, guess I'll have to get some brakes. Seriously good brakes don't slow you down, they make you faster by allowing you to brake later and more precisely, then if you handle better you can brake even later. In real life you have increased your cars performance without even cracking open the engine. In the game well none of that matters because you don't have to pay to maintain and fuel these monsters (other than the oil changes). But seriously you'll find that you can take what seemed like an equal or lesser car increase the braking and handling characteristics and dominate without and power increase. SPELLCHECKED TO HERE ****************************************** ------------ GEARS-PART 2 ------------ If you're only concerned about top speed then increase them all. Depending on your hp/kg ratio, you may want to start with something like an overall set of 32. If you don't get close to hitting redline in 6th before you have to turn, then lower the total set 1 level at a time until you get close, if you hit the rev limiter then raise the overall set 1 at a time until you don't. Once you just barely miss the rev limiter in each straight (I assume you're on the test track) then you will have the best possible gearing for top speed with your cars current set up. Any lower and you redline, any higher and you don't accelerate up to speed as quickly. ----------------------------------- TURBO & NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINES ----------------------------------- N/A stands for Naturally Aspirated (aspiration is breathing). A n/a car breathes in its intake air under its own power (most American cars are n/a, including ones like the Pontiac Trans/Am whose Ram-Air scoops do not make it forced induction). There are three kinds (that I can think of) of forced induction: 1.Turbo charging 2: Supercharging 3: NOS (NOX, or Nitros, Nitrous Oxide). Forced induction means a device or devices are used to help the car breath. A Turbo charger runs off of the exhaust gases in a car, they spin a impeller (internal propeller) which is connected to a shaft that turns another impeller which takes the incoming air (which comes through an air filter like every other vehicle) and compresses it. Without getting to complex the way to make more power is to burn more fuel some engines do it with cubic inches (vettes, vipers, etc...) some do it with forced induction. Skylines, Supras, etc... when you compress more air into the cylinder more fuel can be put in as well (air and fuel mix in a ratio called the A/F ratio). Turbo charging allows you to put a higher VOLUME (versus the same car without forced induction) of air and fuel into each intake stroke. Thus producing as much if not more power than a much larger N/A engine. Superchargers are about the same, except they run off of an engine belt driven by the crankshaft, instead of running off exhaust. NOS basically injects more O2 into your intake runner, or directly into each cylinder thus allowing more fuel to be added. ------------ GEARS-PART 3 ------------ If you lower (make the value a smaller number) the first two gears you'll increase the top speed attainable in those gears, and if you raise (increase the value of the number) gears 3 and 4 you'll pick up some acceleration in those gears but the top speed will be lower. So you would come off the line a little slower then have strong accelration with gears 3 and 4 then return to normal with 5 and 6. With gears there is no real law of averages whatever you do to one gear has no effect on another (excluding the final drive which effects all gears) except that it might make another gear useless, for example if you make 2nd really tall (low number value) it may have a maximum speed close to 3rd's, making 3rd all but useless. In general you'll want to only manipulate the 1st gear or 6th (7th if you have it) until you get comfortable with the gears. As stated before I like a sporty setting 22-25 overall with a long 6th (lowest possible number value) and I usually leave the final drive (differential) alone. By the way the Total is the final drive and your top gear factored together (I think) for all intents and purposes you don't have to understand it. ----------- INTERCOOLER ----------- An intercooler is like a radiator for your intake charge (air about to be forced into a cylinder). The compression action of a turbo or super charger increases the temperature of the air, and since cool air is more dense, and dense air contains more oxygen, forced induction cars sometimes use intercoolers to lower the temperature of the air after it is compressed but before it goes into the cylinder. Also cool air is less likely to cause detonation. --------- OVERSTEER --------- If you oversteer your outside drive wheel is out accelerating your inside wheel and one possible way to correct this is to increase the acceleration number on the LSD. This is only one possible way, but I prefer it to some other methods. It's there to be adjusted, just remember some tunings make radical differences and some are more subtle. Let me also state that the above is not all inclusive to reasons you may be oversteering. Suspension set up can have major effect also, but if your suspension is set up well and you just oversteer a little to much (or a lot) give the above a try. ------------------------------- ASM/Active Stability Management ------------------------------- ASM uses brakes to slow down the wheels that are going to fast. In real life (and I assume this is how the setup in the game works) a car with ASM senses your speed, notes your steering input, and calculates what the wheel speeds for each wheel should be to maintain your dialed in course. If it detects otherwise it brakes the offending wheel. For instance if you are powering out of a turn, and start to encounter throttle induced oversteer, than the computer will recognize the outside drive wheel as the offender (going too fast and pushing the car steeper into the turn) and will apply brake pressure to slow it down. In the real world this is all good, but in a racing game it slows you down, and makes you understeer. --------------------------- TCS/Traction Control System --------------------------- TCS can work two ways. Some cars use a method similar to above and apply brakes to a spinning drive wheel, some cars however detect wheel speed vs forward speed, and the calculate the gear you are in and will actually retard (stop or slow) the engine in microbursts, cutting the power on and off like a light switch to maintain traction (á la Formula 1) the second method is actually better as it doesn't beat the crap outta the brakes. ------- Yaw/ESP ------- A yaw-sensing feature works to increase traction during potential side- skidding situations. In other words, whereas both ABS and traction control work on the longitudinal (front-to-back) axis of the vehicle, stability control operates on the lateral (side-to-side) axis. Bosch's Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the first such system on the market, began appearing in 1995 Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans. It has since become a popular feature on many upscale vehicles. In addition to discrete electrical components, ceramic sensors and solenoid valves, stability control systems typically utilize wheel-speed sensors, steering-angle sensors and a hydraulic modulator. The key component is, however, something called a rotational speed sensor (also known as a yaw-rate sensor). Yaw can be described as "the movement of an object turning on its vertical axis." The yaw-rate sensor determines how far off-axis a car is "tilting" in a turn. This information is then fed into a microcomputer that correlates the data with wheel speed, steering angle and accelerator position, and, if the system senses too much yaw, the appropriate braking force is applied. Remember, though, that stability control, like any technology, is not fool- proof. All vehicles must ultimately obey the laws of physics. Much of the above information was gleaned from a monstrous article on all kinds of stability systems. I know its long but it's the best way I know to explain yaw. ------------------- Limited Slip-Part 2 ------------------- As best as I understand LSD's, "initial" is the value of wheel lock under a non accelerating throttle application. For example cruising down a highway at 65 without accelerating or decelerating would cause the LSD to "relax" into its much lower initial value. Usually cars do this so you can maneuver easily around sweepers, through lane changes, etc... The low initial value allows the wheels to spin more independently which is as discussed above more beneficial to handling. I should state, that if you actually modulate a throttle analog style, and sometimes apply constant power around a turn to maintain a speed, not accelerating but maintaining a speed, such as going a steady 30-40 mph around a tight hairpin and you understeer, you can lower the initial value on the LSD to increase independent wheel rotation thus allowing less understeer, the converse is true also. This adjustment will be ultra small in results, but if you're just trying to tune that last little thing, this may be what you're looking for. ----------- FISHTAILING ----------- If you are trying to get your car to snap into the second part of an "S" turn, but the tail makes you plow wide on the second turn then you could try this. Lower the spring rate just a touch up front, and maybe stiffen it a little in the rear. Also if you have downforce adjustable parameters, then try a little more up front and less in the back. Maybe also lower you Accelerating value on the LSD. The objective here is to try and get the front to bite a little more and the rear a little less. Right now your car has more grip in the butt than the nose (and in all likely hood in less it is a FF car it always will) but with some of the above suggestions, you can balance it a little more towards neutral. Another suggestion that I hardly see people talk about is tire compound. If you want the front to bite harder and snap the tail around more, then try to run a slightly less grippy tire in the rear. Tire wear will become an issue at sometime, but it may be something you can live with, and if you fishtail around the turns than the rears should wear as fast as the shorter lived front tires. --------- BODY ROLL --------- I don't think it is important for the body to roll a lot on a race track. If you ever get the chance to drive an open wheel racer you'll see how little roll a car can have. I prefer to keep the suspension as hard as possible, but still correct mechanically (when I say as hard as possible I don't mean maximum values). Stiffer stabilizers will make the car sit into a turn faster. If the body cannot roll on the suspension as much all of the yaw energy goes to the tires faster giving you a much more true indication of the line the car will take sooner than a softer suspension. Example if you are turning through a decreasing radius turn and having to turn harder and harder the car will "tilt" more and more the harder you turn. On a softer suspension set up the cars suspension can absorb some of this "tilt" but it will reach a point when all of the energy transfers to the tires, now this is true regardless of your suspension set up, but in a firm set up the energy transfers to the tires more quickly not late in the curve which could potentially change your line. Also of note, a car in full tilt will raise its center of gravity, and as we know that's not conducive to handling. So set'em harder if you want to, but do it incrementally, as dramatic changes can sometimes spoil you on an idea that may have worked in moderation. ------------ REAR SPRINGS ------------ During braking, there is almost no rear spring effect, as all the weight is transferring forward (regardless of engine layout), but during acceleration the reverse is true. Harder springs in the back don't take the weight as well so the transfer is interrupted, or when you accelerate and your car goes rocking back a harder spring catches the weight better, and forces more weight to stay on the front (compared to the same set up with softer rear springs) obviously we want the front to keep weight because those wheels direct us. The down side to all this is that since the rearward weight transfer is reduced, you may spin a little more during WOT (Wide Open Throttle) acceleration. If this is an aspect you want to tune, try to find a happy medium, after all to much spinning will reduce your times as bad (if not worse) as understeering. Cornering force is not so noticeable unless you have a drastic difference in front and rear spring rates (of course front and rear should be different because of weight distribution, I am referring to really drastic differences in stock set up). However, a stiffer spring is like a stiffer stabilizer (anti-roll bar) and will transfer the Yaw energy of the car to the tire more quickly (without drastic changes, this won't be ultra noticeable). ------ CAMBER ------ Camber is the relation of the contact patch to the road. Example, think about a tire as it sits on the road, looking at the tire from behind or infront of the car you see that the tire is flat on the ground and that the side of the wheel and tire are straight up and down. Now lets add some camber take the outside edge of the tire where it meets the road and adjust the wheel so that it is slightly off the road. Now the side looks funny, the top of the wheel and tire are inset (still looking from infront or behind the car) and the bottom sticks out more, why would I make my car look funny. Well, when you turn your weight transfers from the center of the car to the outside, and underbraking or lifted throttle deceleration to the outside front tire the most. As the weight transfers the outside front tire starts to lift on its inside (it wants to roll over onto its sidewall) but since we have made our car look funny with added camber instead of rolling to the side and lifting the inside off of the road we now push the outside (which was lifted because of camber) down onto the road, and unless we are sick and doing something stupid the inside will stay on the road as well. This has allowed us to use the entire contact patch during a turn, when it is needed most. Positive camber yields better turning characteristics, but a slight drop in straight line stability. The rear works the same but should be used with more moderation, because you need the contact patch there during acceleration. This is all in reference to a rear drive car, but once you grasp this you should be able to adapt it to all styles. ------------- CAMBER(2)/TOE ------------- Camber helps corner, but reduces top speed, the trade off could be good, or bad. In the game you can't set negative camber so any numbers I mention are positive. I like to run a touch of camber something like 2.0-3.0 degrees in the front, and 1.0-1.5 in the rear. The front setting is more dramatic because those are really the wheels that do most of the work in a turn, and you don't want to set the rear really high (in a rear drive car) because camber causes the contact patch of the tire to become smaller (because the tires at angle with the road surface) and smaller contact patches mean a harder time putting down the power. Toe is a little different. I don't like to do too much with the toe settings, but if you understeer, you can try to set the rear toe in (a negative number) or visa versa if your problem is oversteer. Toe should always be changed incrementally as it can really screw up, or perfect a car. ---------------------- ACCELERATION CORNERING ---------------------- Since technically every time you release the throttle you'll slow down, in order to maintain a certain speed you must be accelerating when you reapply the throttle right!?! Here's the kicker though during tapping applications I would think you're in and out of the throttle so much that both values accel and decel have something to do with it. I'm not exactly sure how the game really deals with this particular aspect, but maybe I would mess with the acceleration value if I were having problems simply because it'll probably be more beneficial to adjust than the deceleration value. Again if you are going wide, lower the accel value, and if you oversteer increase it. ------------ TORQUE STEER ------------ Torque Steer plagues FF and 4WD vehicles. Torque steer is caused from the fact that the turning wheels are pulling also, this is kinda like a stupifying understeer, and is usually only present in lower gears when you are in the fat part of your torque curve (like shooting out of corners in 1st or 2nd). Does your car have a VCD, or whatever the acronym in this game is? If so try this, turn down the amount of power going to the front wheels a little at a time. I may not remember the name of it but the VCD? controls how much power goes to the front wheels, if you turn it down a little you'll experience less torque steer. ----------- DRIVETRAINS ----------- (by kebl0632) FF - Front engine, Front wheel drive; tend to understeer. FR - Rear engine, Rear wheel drive; tend to oversteer=lots of fun in drifting. MR - Mid engine (after the front axel and before the rear axel); best car for conering since the bulk of the mass is in the middle of the car; tend to over steer a little and difficult to recover once your tail sticks out too much on the side. RR - Rear engine, Rear wheel drive; tends to understeer as the weight of the car tends to lift it up and not giving the front tyre enough weight for traction. ------- FF CARS ------- Question/Comment(by kebl0632) i never understand how to drive an FF car properly... it won't steer a lot of the time with my way of driving. in the end, i ended up using handbrake turn to get the car's tail around the corner. softening the spring could help but that puts extra strain on the front tyres... Answer(by Not Me) Try this. shorten your midrange gears a little bit 2nd, 3rd, 4th this will allow them to produce a little more traction frying power in a turn. If you want to slide you have to get the back to break traction, as you probably know. What you want to achieve is a controllable slide so if you haven't yet, stiffen up the springs in the rear just a touch, do the above with the gears, make sure the front suspension is a little softer than the rear, add some toe in in the rear, no more than 2 or 3 negative degrees, maybe turn the rear camber down a little like 0 to 1 degree. One last thing for a snap around increase your brake bias towards the rear, this will allow you to start your turn, tap your brakes, and watch the a$$ try to beat you around the turn. Dial these settings slowly and maybe one at a time, until you get that nice controlled slide. Question(by Wiseblood) I'm struggling with the Cruiser. In deep forest two, it pulls. I want to say understeer, but it's actually powersliding... like the front tires have no grip. I softened the front springs, and added slight camber to the front... but still sliding. Not spinning - sliding sideways. Answer(by Not Me) Try to toe in the front tires a couple of degrees (toe in is a negative number) and maybe reduce your rear camber to 0 if its not already, also the brake thing make work well for you. I don't know exactly what you mean when you say powersliding, but I guess you mean plowing (no matter how you turn you slide straight of the track), if you are powersliding in the true since of the word (4 wheel drift) and sliding off the track sideways, then try to add some serious camber up front, like 2 or 3 degrees. --- TOE --- Here goes my tirade on toe. For this you may need paper or a really good imagination. Draw a rectangle (in your head or on paper I don't care) This will be a car as viewed from above (birds eye view). Lets label one end F and the other R (front and rear). Now do me a favor and rotate the paper or your mental picture so that f faces up away from you. Draw a box on the front left side representing the front driver tire, now do the same for the front left. Keep these "tires" parallel with the body. Now you would have something like this (sorry it looks crappy but it's the best I can do). (NOTE: For a better version of these Diagrams go to: http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=27212&topic=1145828&page=11 ) "F" .---- [] [] .l..l .l..l .l..l .---- "R" Next, draw a dot in the exact center of your car. Now draw a line from the rear left corner to the dot, do the same from the right rear corner. You should have something like an upside down V drawn on your car now. "F" .---- [] [] .l..l .l/\l ./..\ /----\ "R" Sorry about the art again. The rear tires (which I won't draw here) should now be drawn in along the upside down V line. The tires should run parallel to the V line, not the car. Once you are done, you have rear toe in. Obviously this is greatly exaggerated, but you get the point. Now look at your drawing. Lets pretend our car is going left around a turn. We know that the outside wheels have to go farther to reach the same point, and in order to reduce understeer we need that damned out side rear wheel to move especially fast. With toe in our outside wheel is more pointed in the direction we want the car to go, thus reducing the amount of distance it has to travel, and the inside wheel is going the wrong way, this pushes the inside towards the out and forces the outside around in the direction you want to go. It may not make complete since at first, but you just have to look at it long enough. Also, remember that when you are turning the outside wheels bear more weight so the toe in aspect is even more apparent, and when the weight gets on that wheel, its going to push tighter around the turn. I hope that helps, and I am sorry it's long. ---------- TOE-PART 2 ---------- Front toe in has the same effect, though not as noticeable, you'll notice a slightly crisper turn-in and a little less understeer. My model was a FR car, but toe is the same for all drivetrains, you just have to remember that a drive wheel behaves differently than a non drive wheel. A possible way to get a FF car to snap is to toe in the front, and leave the rear alone, or maybe toe out a little, this will cause the front to bite more crisply, but cause the rear to want to go straight, and with the right spring rates, etc... the butt would snap around (it can't keep going straight unless the ar comes apart). This set up would be horrible on a FR or MR and pretty bad on a 4WD, but since a FF carries most of its weight on the front axel it can work. ------------------- COEFFICIENT OF DRAG ------------------- I think the game generically deals with it. Like on the F1 cars for instance, if you increase the front down force, which we all know increase frontal area, you'll have a lower top speed, but I don't know that it actually adheres to the correct formula. About the difference in arcade and simulation, I honestly think that has to do with the fact that it is an arcade mode. That may be a lame answer, and there may be more to it then that, but even in the last GT (2) I thought the cars handled easier in arcade mode. -------------- GENERAL TUNING -------------- (by kebl0632) springs: generally - soft=>stability, hard=>handling front springs: soften it to allow greater weight transfer in deceleration, giving front tyre more grip to turn. too soft==>too much grip on the front relative to the back and you can spin out. rear spring: soften to allow weight transfer on acceleration==> more grip on the rear tyres for acceleration. too soft will make the rear feel sluggish at cornering. brake balance: front bias==>understeer, rear bias==>oversteer damper: explained ride height: lowered for sharper handling. watch out for "bottom out" if set too low stabiliers: stiffer for reduced roll in cornering and so sharper handling. too stiff will lead to any momentum change on one wheel being passed to opposite wheel. i.e. if you hit a curb, the wheel away from the curb could lose traction. camber: increase for cornering stability toe: toe in(-ve) to induce oversteering and toe out (+ve) to induce understeer. gear ratio: increase max acceleration (closer setting) or max speed (wider setting) ------------------ WEIGHT TRANSFER-FR ------------------ (by kebl0632) Driving is about balance and weight transfer. in very simple terms, the more weight you put on a tyre, the more traction it will have (i.e. more power can be delivered without slipping). when a car is standing still or driving at a steady speed on a straight road, the amount of weight on the front and the back doesn't change. when you accelerate, weight begins to move to the back tyres. so if you want more traction on acceleration, then soften the rear spring, but at the same time compromising the handling. the same is true for the front tyres when you decelerate. for example, if you find a car oversteer easily, the chances are too much weight is transferred to the front wheels. it could be driving style (braking too late) or too soft a spring/damper. ------------------ WEIGHT TRANSFER-FF ------------------ You want as little weight transfer as possible in a FF car, keep all of the weight you can on the front, and maybe give yourself some toe in up front and a little in the rear. Unfortunately wearing tires are true to form on an FF car they have to bear a majority of the weight, do all the turning, and accelerating, as well as most of the braking. Don't boost the rear end so stiff that there is no weight transfer, or you'll slide forever, of course in a FF car a slide is easy to catch if the front is going the way you want it to. Just stand on the gas, and the front will pull the butt around. ------------------- LIMITED SLIP-PART 3 ------------------- (by vaporseal) Higher Limited Slip settings mean less discrepancy in wheel spin. Certainly I turned the accel down at one point, and found my car was oversteering more. Turned it back up, and it was a bit stiffer. Also, another car of mine (set for the test course) got extra acceleration out of turning it way up. ---------------- TOE ANGLE-EUROPE ---------------- (by kebl0632) "When a car is standing still, it will almost certainly have a front toe angle. If you have a positive toe angle (toe-in), the front wheels will be pointing inwards (towards each other) slightly. A negative toe angle and the wheels will be pointing outwards slightly (toe-out)." --- RPM --- (by kebl0632) RPM is an intrinsic quality of the engine. engine with high rpm is "better" as it would have more power stroke (more explosions) per minute and hence more powerful. to take an example, a typical 4 cylinder engine has a rev limit of around 5-6 thousand. while a honda s2000, with a 4 cylinder engine also, redlines at 9000. (by Not Me) RPM is an acronym for Revolutions Per Minute. A revolution is one complete rotation (360 degrees) of the crankshaft (the part of the engine the pistons connect to via the connecting rods). The more RPM's the better, but it takes a special design of engine to rev really high. ------------ DISPLACEMENT ------------ (by kebl0632) Displacement is the distance that the cylinder head travels. so increasing displacement would effectively increase the size of the engine and so a more powerful engine. (by Not Me) Displacement is the cubic space of the cylinders summed together, for instance my car has a 3.0L (Liter) I6 (inline 6 cylinder) engine, each cylinder therefore has a displacement of 0.5L. In general more cc (cubic centimeters) or ci (cubic inches) or L (liters) an engine displaces the more air/fuel mixture can be consumed at each power stroke. A quick side note 3000cc is equivalent to 3.0L so 1000cc is 1L. Displacement is directly connected to RPM's. The higher the displacement of an engine, the lower it's maximum RPM's, without getting to complex, this is because higher displacement equals more reciprocating (rotating) mass. For example a new C5 Corvette (street car) has a 5.7L engine (346 ci, or 5700cc), and makes around 350 hp, where as a F1 car uses a smaller displacement (also like the corvette, naturally aspirated) 3.0L engine, but makes 800-900 hp, the difference is in the RPM's. A Corvette maxes out at around 6500-6750 RPM's or so where as a F1 car goes to 18000 RPM's. What I am getting at is there is a trade off in displacement and RPM's. ------ TORQUE ------ Torque is twisting force. In cars torque is measured in ft/lb (in the US anyway), and 1 ft/lb of torque is the energy required to lift 1lb, 1ft off of the floor. Torque is the grunt or the power in a vehicle, but Horsepower is responsible for speed (sort of). For instance a Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel produces 500 or so ft/lbs of torque, but is nowhere near as quick, or fast as a sports car with half of that torque, so big torque doesn't always mean quick, but in a car, usually the more torque the more low end tire frying power available. ------------------ UNSTABLE CORNERING ------------------ You could try to soften your spring rates. Also, try to decrease your rear brake power. If the brakes are high in the rear, then that will give you a very unstable car. I shouldn't say "very unstable", but it will give you a car that is harder to control at it's limit, and a car that snaps over if you brake a little while even slightly turning at the speeds you're talking about. 147mph or so is enough to amplify quirks that don't appear at lower speeds. Lastly, maybe some toe changes are in order. It seems like your front has great turn-in, so great in fact that it is violently yanking the back over and causing it to lose traction. Oh, and maybe, it may not be able to be corrected without, sacrificing some of the characteristics that you like at lower speeds. Sometimes you just have to give, and let up a little, because your car can't be set up perfectly to handle every kind of situation equally. -------------- ANTI-ROLL BARS -------------- (by SeiGe Nihon) Anti-roll bars are essential in any high performance suspension vehicle (I think it is called "stabilizers" in GT3, but don't quote me on it). It's job is to reduce body lean (or roll) in a turn. This is important because excessive body roll can result in camber changes in a car's tires. And everyone knows what that means (reduced traction *ahem*). This is a given: The larger the contact patch between the tire and the road, the better the traction. The more traction there is, the faster you can go! Camber is basically the measure of how much the wheels of a car tilt away from a vertical plane. Loss in camber (aka negative camber) means the top of the wheels tilt in towards the center of the car and positive camber means the top tilt outwards. As your car leans during a turn, they undergo either camber changes (dependent on the turn). In ideal situations, which means that you should forget about struts, wishbones, rods, etc, your car would always maintain a constant camber throughout a turn. That way, you would have maximum traction (which means maximum speed!). However, that is just ideal situations. But since this is GT3 and we can just about customize everything, here I go! To minimize camber changes, you could stiffen the springs. The only thing wrong with this is that you need more dampers (struts or shocks) to function properly. Not to mention your ride wont drive nearly as smooth. Since price isn't an option here, we can tweak and tune to our hearts content. The springs of the suspension is used to equal out the car's front to rear and not side to side, thats why we have anti-roll bars! Tad-dah! Took me a while to reach here, so take a break and give yourself a pat on the back. The anti-roll bar is connected to your suspension (its kind of U-shaped). So when you turn (lets say a left handed turn), the right tire travels up, and the left tire travels down. The anti roll bar twists with the suspension (right side of the U is pulled up with the suspension while the left side is pulled down). Since it a connected with the chassis, it has to react and twist back on the suspension with an equal force. The result is that the bar tends to resist the roll of the car during a turn (Ah ha!). And that is why this sucker is called a "Anti-Roll Bar" (don't listen to those bums who call it anti-sway bars, roll bars. stabilizer bars or even no roll bar). Making the front anti-roll bar stiffer usually results in understeer. Likewise, decreasing the stiffness would cause oversteer. Cars with only a front bar will tend to understeer while cars with only a rear bar will oversteer. This is why most if not all autocross racers make changes to the bar to greatly affect the handling of their vehicles. Not only that, the stiffness if also dependent on the diameter of the bar (fourth power of the bar diameter). So if you have a 15mm bar and you want to switch to a 17mm bar, you would be increasing the bar stiffness of that end of the car by: 17(4th power)/15(4th power) = 1.649 or 65% A moderately understeering car would become dangerously oversteering now. Simplified: You will regret this change you crazy fool!!! You can also change the location of the pick-up point of the bar. So if you move the pick-up point inward of a bar 2 inches on a 10 inch U, that would mean: 2/10 = .2 or 20% (increase in stiffness) Luckily, most factory anti-roll bars aren't adjustable. So your only option is really a aftermarket supplier. When you take a turn, the only thing resisting body roll is the anti-roll bar at the front and rear of the car. When the body rolls, the bar twists and goes into the suspension (which pushes the outside tires down into the ground while pulling up the inside tires). If you only had an anti-roll bar in the front, the outside front wheel has to resist all of the body roll. If everything was equal, the tire with the heaviest load on it would begin to slide first. So the front bar only car would understeer. As a result, if you had a car with only a rear anti-roll bar, all the cornering load would be on the rear wheel, thus you would oversteer. However, there are many things that also change the outcome of a car's handling. Like I said before, this is based on ideal situations, which means we are neglecting several things (such as springs and shocks(which also affect body roll)). --------- POWERBAND --------- Powerband, hmm. Well some people say it is from your engines peak torque rating until redline, and some say it is from peak horse power to redline. I think it is the former, because most cars don't make full power until rather high in the rpm range. You can't manipulate the powerband of an engine (without changing parts) in the game, so you use the gear ratios to maximize the effective use of it. ---------------------- REAL-LIFE RACING GEARS ---------------------- Racing teams, can and do change every gear, I'll use F1 as my example. Alot of F1 teams run a 7spd transmission (they are allowed between 4 and 7 forward gears plus reverse) and manipulate every gear, they also change the final drive gear (differential). There objective is to find the optimum gears for a particular venue. The optimum gears can be defined as thus: Gear ratios allowing a driver to keep the engine in its powerband at all times. In reality, there is some trade off. Lets look at Hockenhiem (traditionally the fastest F1 circuit with speeds of 230 or so). Hockenhiem is largly a flat out circuit (flat out means wide open throttle driving); however, it has a twisty section that runs through the stadium around the Start/Finish line. The twisty section is long enough to warrant quick acceleration over top speed, but the rest of the course demands long legs. The solution is to give a car a short gear set in the primary gear (1st through 3rd or 4th) with the gears slightly getting a little longer than a normal short range set as you climb, and then giving the top gears moderately longer ratios ntil 7th which should be long enough that the car is constantly accelerating, and never peaking, but short enough that it comes ever so close to peaking on the longest straight. Any shorter and you're not going as fast as you could, and longer and you're not accelerating as hard as possible. Now, you can mathematically calculate the speed a car can obtain in a given gear if you know a few variables. Take an engines maximum RPM's (18,000 in a modern F1 car) divide that by the gear ratio, let's say 3.00 for math simplicity to get the number of time the drive pin (drive shaft in a normal car) turns at maximum RPM's. 6,000 turns of the pin at redline, now we divide this number by the final drive ratio, let's say 3.000, that gives us a total of 2,000. 2,000 what you say, 2,000 turns of the half-shafts that connect the wheels to the transaxle, so know if you know the circumference of the wheel you can figure how many mph you can obtain by multiplying the circumference by 2,000. I'm not sure, but I think the diameter of a F1 tire is 20 inches or so. To find circumference we multiply pie times the diameter. 62.83 inches per revolution, so at max rpm's in said gear, the car is covering 125663.706 inches per minute which is 118.999 mph. Obviously this wouldn't be 1st or 2nd gear because it would accelerate slowly from a standstill a first gear is more like 6.000 or higher (higher numbers equal shorter gears). Teams mathematically calculate speed for gears, they also use this speed to determine where the next gear should be, for instance. If at 18,000 rpms in the above gear you're going 119 mph a gear twice as tall in the transmission 1.500 would net the same speed at half the rpm's, 9,000. The powerband on an F1 engine is between 13,000 and 18,000 rpm's, so 1.500 would not be a good gear, because when you shift, the car is going to go down to 9,000 rpm's and drop below the powerband. ----------------------------- SHELBY COBRA BRAKING PROBLEMS ----------------------------- Shelby Cobra's actually carry most of there weight on the rear axle, even though they are FR. Technically speaking, the engine is almost completely behind the front axle, so it should be a front of the car mid-engine design. You may find a set up similar to what you would use in a MR car to be more conducive. Turn down the brake settings, as the higher they are the harder the breaks grab. Also, because of the weight distribution, it is imperative that you break before the turn, as trail braking in a MR car is tricky at best, and treacherous at worst. Lots of people seem to have trouble with this car, myself included when I first got one in GT2, I think it stems from the fact that people tune it like a traditional FR. Once you get the car dialed in, it should be a great car. Also consider, this car is yestertech, and is not going to handle like a modern high performance car, and in the spirit of keeping the game semi-realistic, the car is quirky, and twitchy just like the originals. --- ABS --- Comment:(by GTRacer) Notice how the setup menu and manual say the brake controller is an ABS system? Sure seems to lock up a lot for ABS... I've never found settings that really feel like the car is stopping on the limit all the time (straights or corners). Anyone? Response:(Not Me) I would agree, if it's ABS, I sure can't tell. I think if you set the brake controller way down, it acts like ABS, but ABS is really effective in real life, and allows most cars to actually stop faster than the same car without ABS. Unlike ASM and TCS, ABS hinders you in no way in real life. If these cars had sports brakes and ABS, they should stop on a dime, but sometimes they don't. -------------------- Extreme Acceleration -------------------- If you want massive acceleration, but no spinning out you'll have to raise your LSD accel rate, the trade off is a little understeer, try to find a compromise that you're happy with. Tires in this game suck. The better racing tires really do grip well, but they wear completely, unrealistically fast. I really hope to see a drastic improvement in tire wear in the next game. I don't know what to tell you, I get about 10 laps out of a medium set of slicks, but just barely. Try not to slide, or brake during turning too much (not that you do, I am just making suggestions). Standing hard on the breaks wears tires quicker than modulating into full breaking, also running on the curbs, smacking armco's and walls, and running on grass or dirt really seems to affect tire life. Never under any circumstances run the super grippy short lived tire, unless there is no tire wear in the race you're in. Also, if you have turned TCS completely off, try turning it to 1, as that sometimes will help increase tire life without interfering too much with you driving style. --------------- DOWNFORCE / CoD --------------- (by Not Me, DaFrog) Light cars do have more trouble launching. Well maybe, F1 cars get off the line like a beast, as do top fuel dragsters and they are both super light. CoD, Cx, etc... has no regard to weight. A school bus made of Carbon Fibre has the same Cx as the same bus made of lead, one is just heavier. I think we're in agreement on that, maybe I worded it poorly, but I never said weight had to do with Cx. I also never said the lighter car would be faster, I just said it would handle better and stop easier, and in general be the better of the cars. Or did I? Lastly, most cars are designed to put out most of their downforce at a speed common to their use. An F1 car doesn't have no downforce and then suddenly at 200mph generate 1500lbs of it. -NotMe For most of the race the lighter car would be travelling faster, it would not always be true. Now in game terms, losing a second or two at launch is not a big deal, but losing tens of miles an hour on the straight is. (In case anyone is not following my rationale/thinks I am nuts - its going faster because at that point ~all the power is used to offset the drag, the drag is the same, but the power is double. Of course, lighter cars tend to be smaller and have less drag too, but probably not half as much. I assume Cx is related to area so is easily < 1/2, but not when you start adding spoilers etc to add downforce as they are going to be a major part of drag causing components on both cars. ) -DaFrog In essence, downforce is a force that's pushing down on the car, and therefore also on the tires. In a way, this is like 'free grip': it doesn't require any weight shifting, that's also why most of the time, the distinction is made between 'mechanical grip' and 'aero grip'. It isn't totally free though: more downforce also means more drag, i.e. more wind resistance, so you'll always have to find the best possible compromise between grip and aerodynamical drag. So again we agree here that adding downforce increases drag. The drag coefficient is a number that aerodynamicists use to model all of the complex dependencies of drag on shape, inclination, and some flow conditions. This equation is simply a rearrangement of the drag equation where we solve for the drag coefficient in terms of the other variables. The drag coefficient (Cd) is equal to the drag (D) divided by the quantity: density (r) times half the velocity (V) squared times the reference area (A). A lot of people only use the drag formula, but coefficient of drag is what you need. -NotMe ------------------ DRIFTING/OVERSTEER ------------------ Well, if you want it to oversteer; I think that's desirable for drifting, you could try to increase your rear stabilizer, and decrease your front one. Try to set the rear toe in, and set the front camber a little higher. Turn off (or way down) the ASM and TCS, also lower the Acceleration value on the LSD, maybe the decel and intial values also. Lastly you could try to put a less grippy tire in the rear, and stiffen your rear spring rates to keep weight on the front tires. Obviously don't do all these things at once, and try not to be to extreme, just tweak a little at a time. All of the above things will cause your car to understeer less. For drifting, you probably want either a neutral car, or one that oversteers. --------------- TYRES/OVERSTEER --------------- I use different tires sometimes. For instance if I have a car pretty much the way I want if but it oversteers just a little too much, but changing the suspension completely mucks it up, then I'll put a slightly slicker tire in front. That kinda makes it balance out a little. You can also do the reverse for an understeering problem. ------------- GEAR SHIFTING ------------- The best time to up shift, is when you'll be making more power in the next gear than you are in the current gear. Horsepower is usually charted like an arch, on the left of the arch you have low hp and low revs. The power climbs linearly (in a N/A car) until it peaks, then it starts to drop off. The drop off is usually slower then the accent though. I'll make a theoretical car here for example. We have a car that makes peak power at 8000 rpms, it rev limits at 10,000 rpms. Say at 8000 the car makes 400hp, and by the time it's at 10,000 it's down to 300hp (dramatic, I know, it's just an example). Now lets say when you shift from 2nd to 3rd, you know you'll drop around 1500 rpms. Now we'll say at 7000 rpms the car makes 350hp. If we stay in 2nd till redline, we're wasting time, because at 9500 rpms where we're probably making 325hp, we could upshift and hit 7000 rpms with the next gear and be making 350hp. If you know approximately how many rpms you drop with a gear change (usually is pretty consistent from gear to gear with a normal setup) and you know the power curve of a car you can precisely set mental shift points for optimum power at all times. In real life a car produces peak torque before it produces peak horsepower. For example a new 2002 Corvette ZO6 produces 400 lb/ft of torque at 4800 rpm, but produces peak horsepower at 6000 rpm. Usually you base your shift on peak horsepower. I can't remember off hand, but in all cases, it should be close to redline, and the game may list this as peak torque?!, but I think that's a flub in the translation to English. You'll want to shift after peak power, somewhere between the peak and rev limiter. Experiment with different cars, if you notice that the car is barely accelerating 1000 rpms before redline, the go ahead and up shift, if it's still pulling hard, then push all the way to redline. Usually N/A cars can be shifted before redline, where as forced induction cars usually pull hard all the way to redline, but that is a generalization, and not the absolute rule. ------------ LATE BRAKING ------------ You'll want really stable brakes if you're a late braker. I am, and I usually set my brakes with a front bias, that way if I happen to start turning with my brakes still applied, my car doesn't freak out. For getting on it strong at the apex (mid point of a turn) you'll want to set you acceleration value as high as you can on the LSD, not the maximum value, just as high as you can take it without it causing you to violently understeer. Just turn it up, one notch or so at a time until you can stand on the gas pretty good, and not spin out. Unfortunately, there is no generic setting that makes all cars great; however, there are a few settings that work decent on most cars. For the F1's I just turn up the down force a little, and turn the ASM off, and the TCS off or down to 1. Things to keep in mind with the Viper is, even though the engine is in front, a Viper carries more than 50% of its weight on its rear axle, so it has a weight distribution closer to that of a mid-engine car. --------- TYRE WEAR --------- All forms of friction wear tires. Acceleration, deceleration, and lateral acceleration. Increased downforce, will increase tire wear under acceleration, deceleration, and may slightly increase it during turning, as you'll be taking the turns at a higher speed, and that reduces the benefit of reduced lateral movement. Lower down force can cause the rear tires to wear faster if you don't moderate your throttle usage, and due to increased lateral movement can also wear tires quickly; however, one way is bound to work better for you than the other. Experiment to figure out which way generates longer tire life for yourself. Again, tires in this game suck. I like tire wear, but they're going to have to get more realistic. What kind of crappy tire wears out in 5 laps in real life that you would ever see on a racecar?!? Maybe a drag racing slick, but even the worst of the slicks is only good for 10-20 laps tops! Where as the F1 grooved dry tires last for at least half of a 70+ lap race in real life. Based on this, I guess I am to believe that there tires are more akin to the sports tires. I doubt it! -------------- SUPRA STEERING -------------- First off, try to lower your ASM and TCS if they're not already low. Some people say turn them all the way off, and I do that for some cars, but if your not comfortable turning them all the way off, just turn them down a bit (as low as you're comfortable). Don't go from 10 to 0 and not expect to have problems though if you have always driven with them up. Try to soften your front stabilizer maybe a point or two at most. Give yourself a little toe in, in the rear. and maybe a little more camber in front. If you have a brake balancer, and you are breaking through the turns, then lower the front (or raise the rear) bias, and that will cause you to oversteer a little more during trail braking. Lastly, but definitely not least, don't underestimate the importance of the LSD device. Turn down the acceleration, and deceleration rates to induce better turning characteristics. Try all these ideas in moderation, and give them a chance. Also, do them on or two at a time, all at once will drastically affect your handling. Remember all these things will cause the car to understeer less, and in some cases induce oversteer at the extremes. ------ CASTER ------ Even though you can't adjust it in the game the 3rd and often overlook measurement in alignment is caster. Caster is the horizontal movement of the wheel to affect the vertical axis. Think of this, you're looking at a car from the side, look at the front wheel. See the vertical shock in your mind that's behind the wheel? The bottom of the shock attaches close to the center of the wheel, the top attaches to the car chassis under the hood right. Take the wheel and move it towards the front of the car in the wheel well, this makes the shock at an angle now with the bottom closer to the front than the top. This is a positive caster, the reverse would be a negative caster. Since you can't adjust it in the game I won't talk much more, but it can have a drastic affect on camber the more you turn the wheels. --- VCD --- It controls how much of the engines power is sent to the front wheels. For instance if your engine makes 400hp and the VCD is at 50%, then 200 horses pull at the front, and 200 push from the rear. In most 4wd cars the VCD is a variable thing, i.e. the above car would normally route most if not all of it's power through the rear tires, but if slip is detected, up to 50% of the available power could be sent to the front. --------------- REAR BRAKE BIAS --------------- A rear bias will not effect weight transfer, what it does is causes the rear brakes to lose traction faster than the front. What you're striving for is a controlled loss of traction. The decrease in rear traction allows the front to assert more control over the car. A front bias does the opposite, and when the front wheels lose traction, the car goes straight. In real life, and in the game if you pull the emergency brake and turn, you'll spin out. That's because the emergency brake completely locks the rear, and only the rear wheels up. By setting a higher rear bias, you achieve a controlled version of this which allows the car to understeer less. Yes, you could also try to soften your front spring rates. Stiffen your rear stabilizer by 1 or so also, this will help combat understeer also, especially at high speed. You can also try to put a less grippy tire on the back for better turn in. -=================================================- -= DRIVING SCHOOL =- -=================================================- Index Number: viii ---------------- BASIC TECHNIQUES ---------------- (Courtesy of the Gran Turismo 2 game manual) ACCELERATING ------------ Accelerating makes the car move more quickly, so the best thing is to keep your foot pressed down on the accelerator as much as possible. In an automatic car (AT) the best thing to do is just put your foot to the floor and GO! In a manual car (MT) it goes without saying that you will have to maximise your revs at each gear change and accelerate through the gears, but once you get used to that there should be no problem. The difficult thing is to get away from the start line quickly, and this is particularly true in real-life MT cars. If you rev the engine and engage the clutch too wuickly the wheels will spin. When this happens, the car will not move forward smoothly, but if you don't get any wheelspin at all it may be a sign that your revs are not high enough and you will not get a fast start. The trick is to keep the revs reasonably high and to half-engage the clutch rather than letting it out all at once. You should also keep the revs steady until the clutch is engaged - don't keep revving the engine up. The revs will vary depending on the car, the road conditions and the wheels, so you will need practice to improve your driving skill and get the hang of using them properly. BRAKING ------- In sports driving, the most difficult and sensitive technique is braking. On a circuit, if you cannot reduce speed quickly, you will be unable to get a fast time. Most beginners are unable to brake hard enough at first: in order to make the best use of the brake, you need to put your foot down hard. While you are still learning how to use the brakes properly, you should brake as hard as you possibly can. More details will be given in the section on rear wheels, but when the wheels lock it means you have braked too hard. Your aim is to brake as hard as you possibly can without locking the wheels. FF - Front Engine, Front Drive ------------------------------ FF cars have the engine loaded in the front and front wheel drive. FR cars (front engine, rear drive) used to be the norm in most sedan cars, but FF cars are more spacious because there is no need for the mechanical parts transferring the power from the engine to the rear wheels, and now FF is the more popular. However, in FF casr the weight is all at the front so when turning left and right and when accelerating or decelerating the focus is always on the front wheels and it is therefore difficult to balance FF cars as sports cars. In spite of that, FF cars have been used as sports cars for quite some time now and due to the more recent advances in technology, sports hatch-backs such as the Civic have become very popular. In addition, they can be made to go faster than second class FR cars. However you should be careful of understeering in FF cars because much of the weight of the vehicle is on the front wheels, and if you drive for long periods whilst under-steering the front tyres get hot and therefore begin to lose their grip. The best way to avoid this is to accelerate and steer as smoothly as you can. The main merits of FF cars are that they do not spin easily and they run well even on wet roads. FR - Front engine, rear drive ----------------------------- FR cars are rear wheel driven with the engine at the front. In recent years they have declined in popularity as sedan cars, but as sports cars they have good balance and are still very popular. There are two reasons for this: for one thing, the front and rear weight balance is close to 50/50; also, as the steering is handled by the front wheels and the power comes from the rear wheels, a good driver can use all four wheels to their full advantage. This means that FR cars are comparatively easy to handle and to control, and can help to improve your driving technique. In addition, they are also the best cars in which to handle drifting. So, if you learn the basic skills of driving this car will respond well and will be a lot of fun to drive. Both the front and rear wheels have their own particular role in FR cars, so neither one nor the other will get hot, and you don't need to alter the way you drive to react to particular conditions. Also, one final merit is that an FR car will slow down gradually rather than suddenly grinding to a halt. MR - Middle engine, rear drive ------------------------------ As you will probably know from F1 racing cars, if it's speed you're after the best car to go for is one with the engine in the middle. Taking the largest, heaviest part of the car, the engine, and placing it at the centre of the vehicle, allows you far greater control when cornering. An MR car is one with a middle engine and rear wheel drive. The nose of the car is light, which means that the steering is very sensitive, responding to the lightest touch. On top of that, the engine, being placed toward the middle of the car, means that the weight is displaced over the rear wheels, and this provides greater power on the road. Also, even if you brake hard, the MR car will not skew out of control. As a sports car the MR is undoubtedly the most suitable for the job, but the reality is that they are difficult to drive. First of all you have to make sure the car is properly balanced, and whilst it is excellent for driving to the very limits when cornering, this car is very unforgiving of a driver's mistakes. However, if you can drive well it can be superbly fast, and this is why the MR is undoubtedly the car of choice for the experts. 4WD - 4-wheel drive ------------------- As everyone knows, a car has four wheels. And no doubt you will agree that in order to get the most speed from a car, four wheels being driven by the engine is better than two. Taking the brakes as an example, years ago brakes were fitted either to the front or back, but now all vehicles have brakes fitted to all four wheels. The 4WD car operates on the same principal, that 4 is better than two, especially when driving on snow, slippery ground or rough terrain. For this reason, the 4WD is rapidly becoming a popular vehicle for use on paved or dirt roads, and particularly for rallies, and more recently the 4WD sports car is being adopted for use on circuits and mountainous terrain too. The more powerful the engine, the more suitable it is to a 4WD car. However, the mechanism that transfers the power from the engine to each of the four wheels is extremely complex and the different wheel speeds required for cornering can be problematic for 4WD vehicles. It is particularly easy to under-steer in a 4WD car and this is certainly a problem for a sports car. Howeverm recent developments in electronic technology have meant that the newer 4WD cars are a lot easier to handle. Therefore, taking its fantastic traction into account the 4WD is an extremely powerful sports car indeed. Especially in rain or other slippery conditions, the 4WD is much safer than its 2-wheel drive counterparts, and even leaves the powerful MR standing. TYRES ----- Perhaps the most important part of any sports car is its tyres. The tyres are the things that connect the car directly to the road surface and propel the car along the road, so if they are not up to the job it doesn't matter how powerful the engine or how hard the suspension of the car. Every movement on the road (be it accelerating, decedlerating or turning) is controlled by the grip of the tyres on the road surface. The power of that grip can be represented by a graph (see diagram below). The vertical component of the graph represents acceleration and deceleration whilst the horizontal component represents turning left and right. There is a limit to the ammount of grip a tyre has and exceeding that limit causes the tyre to slip. The area within the circle on the graph represents the grip limit of a tyre on the road, whilst the circumference of the circle itself represents the very edge of that grip limit. When a tyre begins to slip, as you probably know already, there is often a screeching or squealing sound. A gentle squeal is roughly indicative of when a tyre reaches the very limit of its grip capability on a road surface, but a loud, ear- splitting screech means that the grip limit has been exceeded. Naturally it is important to be able to use your tyres to their limit in order to get the most speed from your car. To make the car brake as quickly as possible, you will need to be able to take the tyres right to their grip limit (point C on the graph). However, if you brake too hard (i.e., if you exceed point C on the graph), you will skid or the wheels will lock, you will lose control of your braking and your stopping distance will be greatly increased. In addition, if you exceed the grip limits when cornering (points B and D on the graph) you will lose control of the steering and may even spin out of control altogether. The most difficult part to judge is the other areas within the circle on the graph besides the axis lines. The tyres are not there simply to enable you to speed up and slow down, or to turn left and right. If you are trying to brake whilst turning right or trying to accelerate and turn left, you are not just using the left / right grip capabilities of your tyres but also the acceleration / deceleration grip capabilities. If you brake hard whilst driving in a straight line, the grip limit of your tyres is point C on the graph. However, if you brake hard whilst turning right, even slightly, the grip limit of the tyres shifts towards point B. In other words, the brakes are driving in a slight line. Therefore, if 10% of your brake power is being used to counteract your right turn, your remaining effective braking power is only 90%. What this menas is that in order to use 100% of your braking power none of that braking power should be wasted turning left of right. In effect this means that if you are braking whilst turning left or right, your braking should be slightly greater than usual. The same thing is true when you are accelerating and turning. So, driving sports cars is not simply about accelerating, decelerating or turning left and right - it is a combination of all these things. However in order to drive as fast as possible you need to be driving to the very limits all the time. This means that you should try your very best to drive the car to the edge of the limits on the graph circle. A -|- -' | '- D-----------B -_ | _- '|' C WEIGHT SHIFTING --------------- So now you understand the vital importance of making full use of your tyres' grip on the road and the fact that the grip limit is not the same in all cases: it is different according to the road conditions, the tyres themselves and the way they are used. The simplest of these to understand is the road conditions: there is a huge difference in the vehicle's grip on the road when driving on a normal asphalt road and a gravel road. Naturally the grip on the asphalt road is far greater than on the gravel. Also, even on the same asphalt road there is a huge difference in the vehicle's grip on the road when the road surface is dry and when it is wet. The tyres with the best grip of all are sports car tyres. The size of the tyres also affects their grip on the road: the wider the tyres, the more of the tyre surface touches the road, and the more of the tyre surface touching the road, the greater the tyre's grip on the road surface. On top of that, the way you drive can also have a great effect on the grip power of your vehicle on the road, and this is known as weight shifting. It is quite obvious that it is the four tyres which support the weight of any vehicle on the road. For example, if the total weight of a particular vehicle is 1000kg, each of the four tyres bears 250kg of the weight. However, this is only when the car is stationary. When the car begins to move the balance of the weight is displaced. For example, when viewed from the side, a stationary car is supported equally by all the tyres, but a car which is accelerating has the nose raised and the tail down, but when you apply the brake the care(sic) has its nose down and its tail raised. This is because the balance of the weight of the vehicle has shifted. When the car is stationary the front and rear wheels each support 500kg, but when it accelerates the weight balance is shifted to the rear so that the front tyres support 400kg whilst the rear tyres support 600kg. You can even experience this weight shift for yourself when riding in a car: when accelerating your back is pressed into the seat whereas when you brake you tend to fall forwards. As you might expect, this weight shifting also has an effect on the tyres' grip on the road: basically, the more weight applied through a tyre, the greater its grip on the road surface. Again you can try it for yourself - using a pencil rubber try rubbing it lightly on a piece of paper and then try rubbing it hard. You will feel the difference in the friction (=grip) between the two. Therefore when a vehicle barkes, the 500kg on the front wheels becomes 600kg due to weight shifting, and this has the effect of increasing the grip of the front tyres on the road surface. If we apply this to the graph we used previously (with regard to the tyres), this has the effect of increasing the size of the circle bordering the grip limits of the tyres. Increasing the weight of the tyres from 500kg to 600kg (an increase of 20%) increases the area within the circle on the graph by 20%. If you apply these ideas to your driving, you will soon be able to drive both quickly and steadily. APPLICATION OF WEIGHT SHIFTING ------------------------------ The most important thing to learn when racing on a circuit is to be able to take corners at speed. The reason for this is that, when driving down the straight there is no particular technique you can use to help you win - just select the appropriate gear and keep your foot pressed down on the accelerator. In order to take corners at speed you need to be able to make full use of weight shifting and use the tyres to their limit. Here we will explain in simple terms how to take a croner joining two straights as quickly as possible. First of all, from the road leading up to the corner to entering the corner itself. ENTERING THE CORNER - TURNING IN -------------------------------- To turn your vehicle around a corner you need to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the corner, but in order to take the corner as fast as possible you also need to use the full grip capabilities of the tyres when tuning the car. The most effective way to do this, as we discussed in the last section, is to brake hard in order to shift the balance of weight of the car from the back to the front so that more of the weight of the vehicle is displaced over the front tyres. In other words, you should brake into a corner. If you brake hard and then release the brake before turning the steering wheel, the weight you transferred to the front tyres will be removed and the grip of the front tyres will therefore decrease. This is why you should brake into the corner, turning the steering wheel as you brake. The most difficult part of this is judging how hard to brake. If you brake too hard when cornering, you will exceed the tyre grip limit (point C on the vertical graph axis) and you will therefore have no left/right grip with which to turn the corner. There is no quick and easy way around this - you just have to practise and learn from your mistakes. Perhaps the best advice is brake as hard as possible as you approach the corenr, then ease off the brake slightly as you turn the corner. You should however, remember not to release the brake entirely. Just ease up slightly or you will be unable to take corners at speed. If you think of the grip limit (point C) as the top of the scale at 10, when turning the corner you should be braking at around a strangth of 3 or 4 (although this may change depending on the situation). The reason for this is that the weight shifting effect of braking keeps the weight over the front tyres making for a better grip on the road. Once you have turned the corner sufficiently you can then release your foot from the brake pedal and you should then accelerate out of the corner. If your car starts spinning as you begin to turn the corner, this means that either you have too much weight transferred to the front wheels or you are travelling too fast to take the corner. If you find that you have too much weight transferred to the front of the car you should begin to ease up off the brake a little earlier, and if you are driving too fast you should try braking a little earlier. ACCELERATING OUT OF CORNERS --------------------------- If you have managed to negotiate teh corner successfully, you should then accelerate away into the next straight as quickly as possible. Getting away quickly from a corner is the key - the faster you can begin to accelerate out of a corner determines how quickly you can take the corner. Therefore, as was explained earlier, the key points are using the weight shifting technique to its full advantage, and atking your car's braking capabilities to the limit. Your car is very unstable as it enters a corner. Simply put, when cornering you are putting your car into a position in which it is much more likely to spin. This can clearly be seen from the previous example; the car will begin to spin if there is too much weight at the front of the car as it begins to turn the corner. Therefore the key point here is that you should try to start accelerating from the clipping point on the corner. The clipping point will be different depending on the size of the corner, but this will be discussed further under DRIVING LINES. So what is the best way to stabilise a car which is on the point of spinning? Spinning occurs because the left/right grip limit of the rear wheels (horizontal axis on the graph) has been exceeded, so you have to increase the gripping power of the rear wheels. In order to do that you need to transfer weight to the rear of the car by accelerating. In other words, you should accelerate out of a spin to stabilise your car. However, here again the difficult problem is the degree of correction you should take, and this will be different dependng on whether the car is front or rear driven. If for example your car is rear drive and you accelerate too hard, you lose your left/right grip power (horizontal on the graph) to the front wheels, you will be unable to control the direction of the car and you will go into a spin. You should therefore shift the weight to the rear more gradually in order to keep control of the steering. In other words, accelerate slightly to make use of weight shifting and to stabilise the car, then accelerate hard out of the corner when you have the car under control. This is the key to fast cornering. Another reason behind failing to corner quickly is under-steering: this is where you accelerate out of the corner too soon, before turning the corner properly. The result is that the corner is not taken on a good racing line but is taken too wide. In other words, whilst the car is reasonably stable (i.e., it will not go into a spin) there is still some leeway on the left/right grip limit of the tyres so the car is not being driven to its limits. Therefore, if you put your foot down on the accelerator you can accelerate out of the corner because you still have leeway on the vertical axis of the graph too. However, the gripping power on the front tyres is not very good when under-steering because there is insuffcient weight shifting to the front of the vehicle. Therefore even if you turn the steering wheel further into the corner, the car will not recover a tight line on the corner because the grip limits of the front tyres have been exceeded. If you experience under-steering you need to turn your car more into the corner, so you need to barke longer than you would normally and turn the steering wheel further into the corner. If this does not rectify the situation, it means that you are going into the corner too slow, so if you increase your speed a little you should be able to turn more easily. Now we will go on to cover front drive cars. In the case of FR cars, you do not need to worry about the vehcile spinning out of control even if you hit the accelerator suddenly. This is because the front wheels tend to lose some of their gripping power the more you accelerate in FR cars which means that the only real problem is under-steering. Therefore, when you take a corner in an FR vehicle, the most important thing to bear in mind is to accelerate without under-steering. As with rear drive cars, FR cars are unstable (trying to spin) when cornering, so you should stabilise the car by increasing your acceleration a little, thus reducing the left/right grip power of the front tyres. As you gradually return the steering wheel to a straighter line as you come out of the corner you should accelerate hard to make as much use as possible of the acceleration grip (vertical axis on the graph). In summary, whether you are driving n FR or an FF car, the most basic rule to observe when cornering is to use both the gripping power of the car to its limits at all times whilst also belancing the vertical and horizontal components of the graph. In addition, when driving your car to its limits all the time, you also have to bear in mind the fact that it is very easy to exceed the grip capabilities of your tyres by accelerating or braking too hard or too quickly or by turning the steering wheel to(sic) hard. -=================================================- -= SIMULATION GUIDE =- -=================================================- Index Number: ix Welcome, drivers! This is aimed at everyone starting Simulation mode, people who have never played GT1 or 2 and experienced veterans(so they think!) alike. Most of you shouldn't follow this too closely, because it's more fun doing everything for yourself. You start off with some money to buy a car, but we wont be spending that to buy a car. No? Well, hopefully not. First things first, go to the Licence Centre to do your B class Licence, because you'll need it to enter races. The aim here is to get all Golds in the B Licence, so take as long as it requires to get them. Also, read my Licence Guide above to help you. By getting all Golds, you will be awarded with a free car: a Mazda Roadster MX-5(Miata). Although this car is available to buy with the money available to you, you now can spend your money upgrading it. This will help you win the earlier races alot easier. You could also get the A Licence around this time, because you'll need it soon enough. You don't have to go for Gold in this one, bronze will be sufficient. Instead of updating your MX-5, you may wish to buy a Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex, which is thought by many to be the best beginning car. You'll have some money left over to update it a small bit, but you could sell your MX-5 to create more money. Now race in the first few leagues to raise more cash, and to get a few cars in your garage. Try and save up a bit of money to buy a Skyline, the GT drivers favourite, or a 3000GT VR-4 Turbo. Which are available for less than 60,000. Now you can race in most races and tear away the opposition, and with a bit of tuning, you'll nearly be unstoppable. Race in all the races to finish the beginner and amateur leagues, and use your winnings to tune your car. By now, you'll want more licences, so it's back to the test centre to pick up the International B and A Licences. These will take time to acquire, so be patient. After you have acquired your licences, go and use your tuned motor in the Like The Wimd Race in Professional League. For winning this you get one of the best cars in the game the Mazda 787B. You'll also get a large sum of money for winning this one race. Simple! From now on, you will use the Mazda in everything it can enter, simply put, it's that good! For now, race and win every race you can enter. Do what you like with the money, coz it doesn't really matter, you have such a good car. Although, I would recommend purchasing the Suzuki Pike's Peak for its sheer speed and handling. This will help you win all the Rallies. Speaking of Rallies....Now it's time to get that Rally Licence...Welcome Back! You got it? Well done. Since you've spent your money and can't afford something as expensive as Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII Rally Car Prototype. This car really is the mutts' nutts. Win all the Rallies using this as your car. Now to get that dreaded special licence, so you can do the remaining races. This will take you 20 years or so to do, it's that tough! Not really, but it makes the game sound harder... Then win the remaininmg races, and you've finished it..... -=================================================- -= PARTS GUIDE =- -=================================================- Index Number: x These descriptions were all taken from the Gran Turismo 2 Game Manual. =---------------------------------= =- Brakes -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-a Sports Brake Kit ---------------- Carbon metallic brake pads give stable stopping power even after long periods of driving. Initial braking force and anti-fade properties are greatly superior to normal brake pads so they can be used in endurance races. If the vehicle is due for a service, the brake fluid will be replaced. Brake Balance Controller ------------------------ Controls the management of the anti-lock braking system, and adjusts the balance between front and rear braking power. Increasing front braking causes understeer with focus on stability, while increasing rear braking causes oversteer with focus on cornering. Note that increasing the rear braking too much makes it easier to spin off the road. =---------------------------------= =- Engine -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-b Sports ROM ---------- The most elementary type of tuning. The Sports ROM alters the engine management system to increase power by adjusting the engine's sparking period and the air/fuel ratio. For turbo-charged vehicles a complete tune-up suitable for beginners can be achieved by installing a sports ROM and exchanging the air cleaner and exhaust. Port Grinding ------------- Smoothes the internal surfaces of the inlet and exhaust ports, allowing air to pass through with less resistance and improving engine response. Although the increase in power is only slight, this is considered seesntial for tuning naturally-aspirated engines. Engine Balancing ---------------- Increases power and enables high engine speeds. Engine friction is reduced by a detailed tuning process including the implementation of piston weight matching, and a high-precision fully balanced crankshaft. The engine speed limiter is also reset. NA Tuning - Stage 1 ------------------- Increases the power of naturally-aspirated engines by replacing the gasket with a thinner one to increase the compression ratio, and by adjusting the ignition period and valve timing. This upgrade also includes exhaust manifold replacement. Increases peak power without changine the torque at low engine speed. NA Tuning - Stage 2 ------------------- Increases power ouput even further at high engine speed by the use of high compression pistons and head surface grinding to further increase the compression ratio, and by changing the cams, fitting strengthened valve springs and grinding the ports. This causes a slight reduction in torque at low engine speeds range, but increased power at high engine speeds. The negine management computer is reset to match the specifications. NA Tuning - Stage 3 ------------------- In addition to the contents of NA Tune stage II, the valve system weight is reduced to the minimum, and the materials of the pistons, cams, valves, and con-rods, comprehensively upgraded to handle high engine speeds. The cams fitted are special racing ones with high lift and wider valve overlap. The compression ratio is increased to the maximum. The power band is narrowed to the medium and high engine speed ranges in order to achieve maximum horsepower. Increasing the Displacement --------------------------- This tuning process involves increasing the displacement of each cylinder by increasing the bore diameter and/or the stroke length. As a rule, increasing the displacement makes possible an increase in torque throughout the entire engine speed range. =---------------------------------= =- Gearbox -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-c Sports Close Gearing -------------------- An exchange of the normal gear assembly for gearing with 5 ratios close to close to each other. This makes it easy to keep the engine speed in the power band. This is particularly recommended for naturally-aspirated engines. Semi-Racing Super-Close Gearing ------------------------------- The gear ratios are even closer to each other than with close gearing. This is ideal for hard-tuned cars with narrow power bands. However, frequent gear changing is required. This may have a negative efect on engines with a broad torque range once up-shift power loss is taken into account. Fully Customised Service ------------------------ A service for racing cars in which all the gears, including the final gears can be replaced. This can result in extremely finely-tuned gear ratios to match the specifications of the machine and the characteristics of a circuit at any time. =---------------------------------= =- Clutch -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-d Big Single - High Capacity Single Plate Clutch ---------------------------------------------- This alters the feel of gear changes, and gives a more direct feel when up-shifting than with a normal clutch. Twin Plate Clutch ----------------- A racing clutch kit with two clutch plates, suitable for high-torque, high-power machines. Clutch slip on up-shift is reduced, and acceleration imporved. Triple Plate Clutch ------------------- A 3 plate clutch kit which improves torque transmission and gives a more direct feel. Ideal for cars with hard-tuned engines. =---------------------------------= =- Fly Wheel -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-e Sports Light-Weight Flywheel ---------------------------- A light-weight flywheel incorporating chrome-molybdenum steel. This makes engine revving easier. Acceleration is also slightly improved, but a side-effect is that with narrow torque range engines the car tends to lose speed easily when the road rises. Semi-Racing Flywheel -------------------- A flywheel designed for racing, it is even lighter than the sports flywheel. Engine revving is sudden. Acceleration is also slightly improved, but a side-effect is that with narrow torque range engines the car tends to lose speed easily when the road rises. Racing ------ An ultra-light flywheel for racing use. Both rise and fall in engine speed is sudden. Acceleration and deceleration are both improved, but a side-effect is that with narrow torque range engines the car tends to lose speed easily when the road rises. =---------------------------------= =- Propellor Shaft -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-f Carbon Propellor Shaft ---------------------- A light-weight propellor shaft made from carbon composite materials. Because the propellor shaft links the engine and the differential, changine its weight has a similar effect on acceleration to changing the weight of the flywheel. Increases acceleration. =---------------------------------= =- Mufflers and Air Cleaners -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-g Mufflers and Air Cleaners ------------------------- A combination of a perfectly-shaped sports air cleaner and a sports exhaust with good exhaust extraction properties. Ideal as a first step in turbo tuning, it increases torque at high engine speed in naturally-aspirated engines. Semi-Racing ----------- A combination of racing air cleaner with a urethane sponge filter, and a small, low-resistance exhaust designed to give superior engine efficiency at high engine speed. Ideal for high-displacement turbo-charged engines. If used with a naturally-aspirated engine, the engine itself must always be perfectly tuned. Racing ------ A combination of racing air filter equipped with an air funnel that gives even better air intake than the semi-racing filter, and a high efficiency straight-through exhaust designed for racing cars which normally run at high engine speeds. Because torque is reduced at low engine speed, the engine characteristics and gear ratios need to be taken into account. =---------------------------------= =- Weight Reduction -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-h Stage 1 ------- The car body is made lighter by removing unnecessary parts and by changing some the materials used(sic). Reducing the weight of the body has many benefits, such as improved acceleration, cornering, braking, and tyre durability. Stage 2 ------- Further removal of unnecessary parts and changing some materials used to reduce weight. Further improvements in acceleration, cornering, braking, and tyre durability. Stage 3 ------- Further removal of unnecessary parts and changing some materials used to reduce weight. Further improvements in acceleration, cornering, braking, and tyre durability. Stage 4 ------- Yet further changes to the materials and also the shape of the car body. Changes to the colouring and addition of aerodynamic parts. It is possible to add downforce to the car by the addition of aerodynamic parts. The balance of the car at high speeds can be changed by adjusting the strength of the downforce at the front and rear. =---------------------------------= =- Professional Tune-Up Parts -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-i It will not be possible to use these parts correctly without a detailed knowledge of cars. Please take adequate precautions. Limited Slip Differential(LSD) ------------------------------ These are tuning parts designed to prevent wheel spin from the inside wheel when accelerating through corners. By preventing the free spinning of the wheel on one side which causes a loss of vertical loading, load is applied to the wheel, and torque can be transferred to the wheel on the other side. By skilful use of the LSD, the character of a vehicle can be markedly changed. The strength of the LSD effect is important in for example at the start of a drag race, and when enjoying power slides in rear-wheel drive cars. However, although the LSD can increase the acceleration and deceleration performance of the car, the cornering performance suffers, and it is necessary to adjust the settings of the LSD to take into account the balance between these settings and the skill of the driver. 2 Way LS3D ---------- This is an LSD which delivers a limited slip effect both in the direction of acceleration and deceleration. The car body position is stabilised during braking, the brakes can be applied harder, and there is also greater traction during acceleration. However, as the car is clearly more difficult to turn, the system is best suited to a driver who has special cornering skills. 1.5 Way LSD ----------- This system restricts the limited slip effect in the direction of deceleration while maintaining the effect in the direction of acceleration. The characteristic of this is thaat the tuning force of the car when braking is not restricted too much, whilst good strong traction is delivered. Because the character of this LSD is not too distinctive in any one direction, it is jack-of-all-trades. 1 Way LSD --------- These parts are used when you only want to apply the LSD effect in the direction of acceleration. Normally, these parts are used in front-wheel drive cars which are difficult to turn. Because the LSD effect is not applied at all when braking, the cornering force of the car can be pushed to the maximum. However, as it is easy for the car body to lose stability, great care must be taken. The weakness of this type of LSD is the great change in character in the car from when the accelerator is pressed, to when accelerating and the accelerator is released, and then when the car is decelerating. =---------------------------------= =- Full Customising Service -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-j Full Customise -------------- This is a service which seperates the acceleration and deceleration into independant sides, and allows adjustment of the LSD effect for use in racing. The character of the car can be greatly changed if there is a strong effect from the LSD, but on the other hand because the settings can be changed easily it is also easy to destroy the balance of the car, so adjustments must be made very carefully. =---------------------------------= =- YAW Control System -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-j These are parts which will allow the strength of the yaw control system effects to be adjusted. As the effect is applied stronger and stronger, turning moment occurs in the car during acceleration, and the cornering becomes better. Please take care in adjustment as the car will spin more easily if the control effect is too strong. Active Stability Controller --------------------------- A device for preventing spinning of the car due to oversteering by actively controlling the braking force of all four wheels. When it is applied strongly, it is possible to strongly stabilise the car. When the control is lightly applied, the freedom of movement of the car is increased, but the spin prevention effect is lessened. Traction Control System ----------------------- A device which detects wheelspin in driving wheels and automatically backs the accelerator off in order to prevent the free spinning of the wheels. It can improve the manoeuvrability of cars with high power output. Although the car is stabilised if it is applied strongly, the acceleration will suffer as a result. If it is applied lightly, oversteer will occur when the accelerator is applied in the case of powerful rear-wheel drive cars. =---------------------------------= =- Suspension -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-l Sports Suspension Kit --------------------- Covers all situations from street driving to circuit driving, and is easy to work with even for beginners. Both the front and the rear shock absorbers (dampers) can be adjusted to 10 different dampong levels, and the camber angles can also be adjusted. The front and rear ride height can be lowered in 2 cm steps. Incorporates double-cylinder low-pressure gas shock absorbers. Semi-Racing Suspension Kit -------------------------- This highly adjustable suspension kit is recommended for intermediate drivers. Compared to the normal setting on the sports suspension, this kit features much harder settings for the spring rate and shock damping. Car height in both front and rear can be adjusted to millimeter units. The damping adjustment has five settings. The camber angle is also adjustable. This kit uses a single-chamber high-pressure gas shock absorber. Fully Customised Service ------------------------ Shock absorber adjustment, camber adjustment, and also rapid exchange of springs with different spring rates. Expansion (bound side) and contraction (rebound side) of the shock absorbers is independant and 10 levels of adjustment are possible. =---------------------------------= =- Anti-Roll Bars -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-m Strengthened Anti-Roll Bars for Street Use (Soft) ------------------------------------------------- Reduce sideways body swaying and rolling. They can suppress rolling without altering ppitching (tipping of the car body backwards and forwards). Used skilfully, they can reduce lateral load change without interfering with longitudinal load transfer. Both front and rear are set at rather harder than normal level. Racing Anti-Roll Bars (Medium) ------------------------------ Torsion bars and springs to supress body roll. An alternative method of supressing lateral roll is to harden the suspension by raising the spring rate, but this reduces longitudinal pitching at the same time, and makes load transfer during braking more difficult. Anti-roll bars are springs that work on lateral roll only. These Anti-Roll Bars are set at a harder spring rate than the 'soft' stabilisers. Racing Anti-Roll Bars (Hard) ---------------------------- The hardest available and have the highest spring rate. Some caution is necessary, as the car is apt to spring up if it runs onto the inside kerb. However, since hard suspension doesn't make the car any faster, you should select the product that gives the right feel for your driving style. Fully Customised Service ------------------------ Adjust of the front and rear stabilisers possible at any time. It is also possible to carry out fine adjustment of the car's movement by skillfully finding the best balance, matching the adjustments to those of the other suspension parts such as the springs and shock absorbers. =---------------------------------= =- Intercooler -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-n Sports Intercooler ------------------ An air-cooled intercooler that cools intake air that has been heated by pressurisation in a device such as a turbocharger. Engine power is increased because, at a given supercharge pressure, more air enters the combustion chamber if the air is cooler. This is an essential upgrade for a turbo-charged engine. Racing High-Capacity Intercooler -------------------------------- Increases engine power by cooling the intake air in a supercharged engine. The greater the intercooler capacity, the higher the cooling power, but engine response is reduced slightly. This high-capacity racing intercooler is suitable for tuning engines with high maximum supercharge pressure. =---------------------------------= =- Tyres -= =---------------------------------= Search Field: x-o Sports Tyres ------------ Special sports driving tyres which will allow a higher level of grip on surfaced roads than normal tyres. One set for front and rear wheels. Fitting high performance tyres is one of the more effective ways of improving the driving performance of the car. Once you buy the tyres, you will receieve tyre service continually from then onwards. Racing Slick Tyres - Hard ------------------------- Although the absolute level of grip is lower, they use a durable compound. They can deleiver good stable grip characteristics over long periods. As the temperature of the tyres is slow to increase, they take some warming up, and sufficient care must be taken while driving during the first two laps. These are tyres specific to surfaced roads. RS-Medium --------- These tyres use a compound that achieves a good balance between grip and durability. The tyres will reach the correct temperature after 1 lap, and can deliver good grip. They don't have the durability of the hard compound tyres, but they do not wear out as fast as the soft tyres. These are tyres specific to surfaced roads. RS-Soft ------- Even though these tyres are durable to a degree, the compound used has been chosen to deliver the best possible absolute grip. These are the optimum tyres for races such as time trials. The tyres will be warmed up enough to deliver good grip after only half a lap. Because the durability is low, very careful tyre replacement is necessary. These are tyres specific to surfaced roads. RS-Supersoft ------------ These are tyres which sacrifice durability for the sake of the maximum possible grip. The maximum grip characteristics will only be displayed after having gone through several corners. Because the grip will suddenly deteriorate due to wear, great care must be taken in handling the tyres. These are tyres specific to surfaced roads. Control Tyres ------------- Tyres which are as close as possible in characteristics to real tyres. Although it is extremely difficult to drive using the game controller, you can experience a simulation of real driving which does not feel like a game. These tyres require quicker braking, careful steering and delicate work with the accelerator. These are tyres specific to surfaced roads. Dirt Tyres ---------- These are special tyres for driving on dirt surfaces. These tyres must always be fitted when driving on dirt courses. These are designed with the emphasis on controlling the car when it is driving on slippery gravel or unsurfaced roads. These special tyres for dirt driving are not provided for all cars: they are availbale only for a certain number of models. NOTE: Frictional wear and tear occurs only in long races and 2-player races. You can alter the settings for 2-player races in OPTIONS. Although the above statement is correct for GT2, in GT3, most of the difficult races have tyre wear on, check my race section to see which. -=================================================- -= CAR

Without them, this section wouldn't be here. How to get the Glitches: ------------------------ (by FuSoYa) -SAVE GAME first cuz game freezes -Get a fast car, needs to go over 230+ Mph e.g, escudo,787 etc. Adjust gear ratios accordingly -use "Wheelie Setting" Lower Springs,ride height,camber, toe,LSD,ASM,TCS, and front downforce all the way down. -Raise rear downforce all the way up -Break through wall at any stage -Accelerate away from track into nothingness to gain massive speed.Car will Wheelie and gain more speed -Car goes into millions of Mph(My 787 did 2,147,483,647 Mph) and then game freezes. -Reset game, and HAVE A NICE DAY It is easier to do these in Arcade mode, Free Run --------------------- SPECIAL STAGE ROUTE 5 --------------------- You can drive throught the walls at both ends of the pit lane. For pictures/videos go to: http://www.envy,nu/gt3central/ --------------- SEATTLE CICRUIT --------------- Look for the tyres at the each end of the straight. You can drive out there. ----------- COTE D'AZUR ----------- At the chicane with the tyres and men in orange, you can go through the wall to the inside of the track. Go down the hill towards the Castrol and Ford signs. Hit the corner to the left of the Castrol sign. You can go outside here. ---------------------- SPECIAL STAGE ROUTE 11 ---------------------- In the pit lane, going the right way, stay parallel to the garages. At the end there is a yellow and black rail. You can drive through that. -=================================================- -= HINTS/TIPS =- -=================================================- Index Number: xiii -------------------------------- Buy New Cars previously upgraded -------------------------------- You need to have two memeory cards for this to work. Save the game on the first memory card. Replace it with the second one. Buy the car you want. Upgrade it as much as your money will let you. Save onto memory card 2. Load the game from Memory card one, and trade the car across from mc2 for the cost price, but you'll also get the upgrades, and still have money left over. -------------------------- Shorter Long Championships -------------------------- (by Not Me) Hey, here's a tip for everyone. I am a freak about oil changes, when I am in a long series like the Polyphony Digital Cup I do this to keep my car from falling apart. Never qualify, win the First 6 races, and somewhere along the line make sure that the car that finishes 2nd finishes low. With me, it was a Z06 Corvette and I ran him into a wall on Seattle, he finished last. I know this may sound like cheating, but I think the no oil changes during a series sucks, so this is the only time I do this. After the 6th race I had 60 points, The Corvette had 30. If you don't qualify, he'll always start in third, and if you start the race, then immediately exit he'll finish in third netting miniscule points 3 or 4, I forget, either way not enough to beat you, the car that starts in first however will net 10 points each race for the remaining four races, so watch him. Depending on how the car that normally has the pole (without qualifying) has done, you may have to race seven races tops. I have won series after series this way, and it never seems to wise up. Again, the only reason I do this is because by the time I get to the 5th race, my oil light is on, and I don't want to suffer a permanent hp drop. ------------ No 10 points ------------ (by kebl) If you start a race, burn to the first corner to place first then quit you will get 0 points , but the others get 6,4 etc i.e. Nobody gets the 10 points (just set for max accel as you won't really be racing). -=================================================- -= GAMESHARK CODES =- -=================================================- Index Number: xiv Courtesy of ign.com $500,000-Sim Mode

Can you Racing Modify your car/get a new paint scheme? Unfortunately in GT3 you can't do a full Racing Modification on your car. The reason for this is that the cars alone took ages to complete, if there was also a Racing Modified version of each car, the game still wouldn't be released! 2. How can I get the Lamborghini? I'm sorry folks, but the Lamborghini is only available in the Japanese version of the game. 3. I won X Race, how come I can't get X car? The cars you win are random, so keep trying until you get the car you want. 4. There is supposed to be 6 F1 cars, how come I can only get 2? In the American version there are 6, but in the European version there are only 2 F1 cars. They do have 3 different paint schemes, so basically there is 6. 5. I've done everything and only got 98% complete, what's up with that? You need to finish first in the Time Attack Mode in the Arcade Mode. This is VERY HARD; is the same as getting gold medels in the S-licence. Also, finish the Single Race in the Arcade Mode can boost up the percentage too. 6. Why is the Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex Shigeno Version worth so much? The Spriner Trueno SS is worth 125,000 CR because it is a special model from some comic book in Japan/USA. I'll find out which comic... 7. Can you turn your engine off like in the ads? Nope... 8. What's an alloy? An alloy is an aluminium wheel. 9. Is GT3 going to be released on PSone? We can only hope... I doubt it will ever be released on PSone. Maybe if we bribed Sony.... 10. How can I ask a question that will appear here? Post the question on my message boards - the address is given at the top. 11. I emailed you but you never responded. Why? I get loads of mail and if I was to respond to them all, I'd never get any sleep. 12. I was just wondering why they called the option Trading, trading. I mean you aren't trading cars your buying them. Am I right or am i missing an option so your can trade one car for another? No you're right, but the option is called trading as that is just another way of saying buying and selling, or commerce. It's just that it sounds better than any other name you could call it. 13. I've won X Race, but didn't get X car. Why? The car you win is random, just win the race(s) again, and hope you win it this time. 14. I bought a part for my car, but accedentaly chose No when installing it. How can I install it? Go to Settings before the race and you should be able to install it. -=================================================- -= OUTRO =- -=================================================- Index Number: xvi FAQ Credits: -Not Me for a lot of the Tuning School and some Tips -kebl0632 for various additions to the tuning school and tips -vaporseal for an entry to the Tuning School -Wiseblood for a Tuning School question -Soulfly for some of the Glitch locations -FuSoYa for some Glitch locations -Powerstation Magazine for some Car/Race info -Various Sources(Magazines) for Car Stats -Tricksta Rules for adding to the race guide. -Kyle Colbey for some corrections -Nich for Question 12 -Larrylmho for answering question 5 -Everyone who emailed me with Questions and stuff.
