WIN IT BY- Win in the Autumn Ring II Pro Race Performs best on-Tokyo --------------------------------------------------------------------- 7)The Track Guide --------------------------------------------------------------------- All tracks are lifted from the game and belong to their owners! This guide gives you the licence times, tips and info on them! MIDFIELD RACEWAY 1&2 The famous GT track returns as good as ever! There are a few tricky corners and only one needs practising, so it's pretty easy to master! Just brake and try to use the red-and-white strips at the side of the track to guide you! No-2 is the same track reversed and is slightly easier to tackle! No-1 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.43.000 Silver=1.48.000 Bronze=2.00.000 No-2 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.34.000 Silver=1.37.000 Bronze=1.50.000 SWISS ALPS 1&2 The rally track of GT3 has returned and again has a reversed track, which is No2! A good tip with this and all rally tracks is to powerslide! It gives you a better time and feels better! Basically, it's a huge skid almost although you are going to spin! No-1 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.36.000 Silver=1.40.000 Bronze=1.55.000 No-2 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.38.000 Silver=1.43.000 Bronze=1.55.000 TOKYO R246 1&2 Right, so every track seems to have itself reversed and this is no exception. The key to this track is to be aware of corners! You speed down a straight and a little thing called a turn lurks at the end and you crash and lose soo much speed!!! So remember!-look at the map to see the turns! No-1 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.54.000 Silver=1.58.000 Bronze=2.15.000 No-2 LICENCE TIMES Gold=2.12.000 Silver=2.16.000 Bronze=2.35.000 TAHITI MAZE 1&2 The much more challenging rallying circuit relives form the previous game as stunning as ever! Try to powerslide corners and DON'T hit the barriers! IT COSTS TIME! If you keep braking at corners to as slow as 60-70m.p.h, just hit the barriers as you don't seem to get it! No-1 LICENCE TIMES Gold=2.11.000 Silver=2.16.000 Bronze=2.40.000 No-2 LICENCE TIMES Gold=2.13.000 Silver=2.18.000 Bronze=2.40.000 AUTUMN RING 1&2 This track is defiantly worth beating as most cars perform the best on this circuit so, there! When you get to the spiral, always remember to take it about 100-120 m.p.h or else, you'll come off! No-1 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.40.000 Silver=1.44.000 Bronze=1.158.000 No-2 LICENCE TIMES Gold=1.38.000 Silver=1.43.000 Bronze=1.44.000 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 8)STARTING OUT --------------------------------------------------------------------- Start by getting as many licences as possible basically! Get a Gold, Silver and Bronze in EVERY licence to get all the cars! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 9)GETTING THE CASH --------------------------------------------------------------------- When you get 100% unlocks, you get the best prize that any GT fan could ask for! 10,000,000CR for the GT3 A-spec game!!! No car is out of your price range with that! Place your GT3 memory card in to transfer the bundle of money! The next section will give you the best things to buy with that dosh! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10)WHAT YOU SHOULD BUY!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- There are many dear machines to buy but they aren't necessarily the best! Here's the top 3 cars to buy! 3- Dodge Viper GTS R Team Oreca CR=1,000,000 Hard to handle but with all the power included, it's a true winner! 2- Honda Castrol Mugen NSX CR=1,250,000 Brilliant handling and top speeds mean that you can't go wrong! 1- Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Edition SR=1,000,000 What can I say? It's the best car there! Handling is spot on, and power is unbelievable! Tune it correctly and it'll make bluebird look a wally! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 11)THE DEAREST BUT BEST MACHINES --------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the top 5 dearest machines!

It's a race between a load of POD cars and yourself in a POD car! Here are some top tips on the race! 1-Ramming the others will make you go ahead! Who cares if the POD gets unhappy?!? 2-Drive to the front of the stopping area before the ramp so that the other get held up! Hehehehehehe! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 13)THE ACE MODE --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a mode that'll shut up all the players that brag about completing the game! I'll say no more... 1) Complete the whole game with 100% or... 2) Go to the difficulty screen, highlight any of the 2 settings and press L1 R1 The racers are extreme, so practice before entry! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 14)NEXT VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can, PLEASE send in any hints, tips etc that they know (full credit given!), any track strategies etc or any relevant info for the next version 1.1!
