Gran Turismo 3 A-spec

Professional mode
Select arcade mode, then highlight the "Hard" selection on the difficulty selection screen. Then hold L1 + R1 until it switches to "Professional".

Selecting series awards
Series awards (i.e., cars) are not just random. Press X when a silhouetted car has the large black circle flashing under it to cause that car to be selected as the award for winning the series. Timing is critical, since the large black circle only appears under a car for under a half second. If you are too slow, the next car to get the large black circle will be selected.

You can get unlimited F1 cars by playing endurance races, as you can win prize cars from those races unlimited times. To select a prize car, press X when the black circle is under the car you desire.

To get the series car of you desire, just race every race in series mode, not single. Save before the final race. Do not exit the series use the save function shown after the race is over. Then, begin and quit the last race. If you have enough points from prior races you should still win the series, then continue to where they award the series prize. If you get a car you do not desire, just exit the game, return to the title screen, then load. The game will start from the previous race you saved at. Quit the last race then continue onto the series and repeat until you get the car you want.

Hints & Tips

Saving money
Do not waste money on upgrading the first few cars you get in the game. Instead, practice on being a better driver. Wait until you win a car with some real potential until you upgrade. For example, start with a Mazda Miata, but do not upgrade. Use it to win a Mazda RX-7 Effini 3, then upgrade.

All four bonus cars with memory card
Use this trick to get all four bonus cars and every color after racing a series only one time. Two memory cards and plenty of money to purchase all the cars at the resale price are needed. Save to memory card one at the end of the second-to-last race with enough points to bypass the last race. Skip the last race. Press X when the black circle is under the desired car. If you do not get the car you want, reload card one and try again. Once the most wanted car is chosen, save to memory card two. Reload card one, skip the last race and choose the desired car. Go to trade without saving in the home menu. Load card two in the trade menu. Buy the earlier chosen car, then overwrite and save to card two. Reload card one, skip the last race, choose the next car, then go to trade again. Load card two in trade. Next, buy all earlier chosen cars, overwrite, and save to card two again. Repeat until all desired cars and colors have been obtained from only one series.

More speed with automatic transmissions
When racing with an automatic transmission, hold R2 and you will get better acceleration. Release when the small red light to change gears flashes or the car will not change gears.

More horsepower
To make your car gain roughly 25 to 150 hp, take it to the test track and do a max speed test. Keep it floored the whole time. After a couple of times, stop, change your oil, and check your new hp.

Acura Intregra Type R: Easy money
Purchase the Acura Intregra Type R. Upgrade it a little so that you can finish with the cars in the Type R meeting. Win the series to get a lot of cash. The car that you win (Acura RSX Type S) can be sold for 7,500 credits. Note: This car cannot be bought in the game so you may want to keep one.

Easy money with memory card
Two memory cards are needed for this trick. After you have earned roughly 200,000 credits, buy a car, such as the Mitsubishi 3000 GT. Upgrade it up to the max. This will leave you just about broke. Go home and save this car to memory slot two, then return to the title screen and load your last game from memory slot one. This will give you your money back, and you can now go home and trade from memory slot two. That car that you just spent all those credits on will only cost you retail price.

Two memory cards are needed for this trick. Whenever you purchase a new car, you may notice that the value is much less than what you bought it for. Save your game to both cards, then, make sure you have enough credits to purchase whatever car you want to get rid of at the dealership price. Go to the home garage and go to trade. You can then sell your car to yourself at full value. Then, if you want to do it once again, save the game in memory card one but not on card two. You will then get back whatever money your card two lost when purchasing the car. This can sometimes triple your profits over what you would get by selling them back to the dealer at a lower value.

Two memory cards are needed for this trick. Begin a new game or resume a current game. Save the data to the second memory card. Then, go to trade and take all of the car(s) from the second card and continue saving on it. Once happy with the amount of cars you have on your regular game, sell the extra cars to get some fast money. This can be repeated as desired.

The RX-7 will get about 700 to 800 hp and get up to 180 to 190 mph. Use either of these cars to finish the Super Speedway Endurance race, in which you get 200,000 credits for winning along with an good car. You may win the Tickford, The Cliosport race car, the Corvette C5R, or the F090/s Indy car. You can repeat this and sell the cars for about 250,000 to 300,000 credits. You can make up to 500,000 credits in just over an hour.

Acquire or purchase an Escudo. Get in it and head over to Professional League. Go to the Turbo Sports race and enter into the Test Track course. Use tape or a rubber band to hold the Gas down. Wait until the race is finished. Your Escudo will use the walls as a guide to go around the track. It will only hit the walls on turns. A totally clocked out Escudo is at least 280 mph, so you will not loose. Remember to equip Slick Tires.

Free tuning with memory card
Two memory cards are needed for this trick. After acquiring some money or cars to sell, save your game to both cards. Then buy the car you desire, tune it, and get all the tires. Save your game to the memory card two. Then, load the game from memory card one, go home then go to trade. Load the memory card two's garage and purchase the car you just tuned. Then, save the game to both cards. You have now bought a fully tuned car for the price of the stock car. Redo this as many times as you like.

Super Speedway 150 Miles (Endurance): Easy win
The Super Speedway 150 Miles endurance race can be won without being in control or the car. Use a rubber band to hold X (accelerate) and Analog-stick to the Right (slightly). You should use a semi-fast car, but the other drivers will be going into the pit while you will not time will be made up in this way. Having the Analog-stick in that direction prevents you from going into the pit and never exiting. This is an easy way to make 200,000 credits. You will win a really expensive car, one of which is the F090, which is one of the better cars in this game.

Tuning drive trains
When tuning your drive train, make sure that you do not get full customization on your gears. In doing so you will lower your ability of maxing out your speed. For example, if you purchase a Nissan Skyline V-spec II '99 and tune it up to the maximum with full gear customization, and you race it the top speed all you can get is 160 mph. If you race without full gear customization, the top speed you can get is 231 mph.

To get the most speed out of your car you have to get the most horses, but sometimes the transmission will keep you from getting to use all of it. Purchase the Full Customization transmission. Now go to the settings either right before a race or at home. Change the settings of the last part of your transmission (the bar that has Sports on the left and Wide on the right) to the extreme left. This will move your individual gear ratios. Next, go to the "Final" bar and move it as far right as it can go. Then, go to the next bar up and move it as far left as it can go. Do this to the remaining bars. When racing you will notice that your gears will shift extremely fast, however, the bad starts will lead to every single horsepower being used. This is really only needed in high-powered cars that exceed 650 horses and should not be used in short races with competitors having equal power to your own.

Avoid going airborne
If you purchase the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline, or any other car that has the capability of having around 1000 hp, do not remove any weight besides stage one. If you decide to remove weight, do not race the rally races with them, since they tend to become airborne.

Better cornering control
Tap the emergency brake (default is Circle) just prior to a sharp turn and let the car go into a sort of neutral gear state. This will keep the tires from spinning due to downshifting. Using the momentum of the car and a little braking, you should make it through a tight turn without getting turned around or fishtailing most of the time. This is really helpful on the Laguna Seca Track in the "corkscrew" turns. This turning technique is also helpful sometimes in a rally race. It can usually induce a slide for tight cornering.

Better throttle and braking control
For precise control of the amount of throttle and braking, change your controls in the options menu. Set the Right Analog-Stick to Up for throttle and Down for brake. This can help alot in the handling of rear wheel drive cars with lots of power.

Easy race prizes
For example, the Tuscan Speed 6 series has 5 races in it. Make sure you have enough of points in the lead so you can exit the last race and still beat the CPU on points. Race the first four races, then save before going into the fifth race. Enter the last race, then instantly quit. You can claim your prize. In that series the two prizes are the Griffith 500, or Cerbera Speed 12. If you do not get the wanted car, just go to main menu, reload and repeat the previous steps Since the reload will take you back to the start of the fifth race, you can keep trying until you get the car you desire.

Suggested tires
For any normal non-endurance race, select super soft race tires. They do not wear out on the track unless you see a tire meter on your screen. For endurance races, use the cheapest race tires. Though the screen says they have the least traction they will have enough after about two laps to keep you going swiftly. Despite being the cheapest, they are in fact race tires and work much better than any street tire. You will benefit more by getting more laps on a set of cheap tires then getting a few faster laps on the expensive tires, which will need more changes often. This will also save money.

Tuning race cars
The race cars you win can be tuned to go faster. Always save the game before tuning or purchasing a car. If you do not like what you get, just reload and try again.

License test lines
On the license tests, the dotted line indicates coasting, the blue line indicates acceleration, while the red line indicates that you should brake.

Arcade mode tracks
To access the arcade mode tracks, simply finish each area (A, B, C, D, and E).

Complex String track
In arcade mode, in one player mode, complete area D of the tracks to unlock Area E tracks. Then, go into two player mode. You will find the Complex String track all the way at the end. It is the track that you race when you get your license.

Easy horse power boost
When you obtain a car, change the oil. It will boost the horse power by at least 10 and only costs 250 credits.

Gears and turns
Next to the current gear the car is in on the HUD, you will rarely see a red and sometimes flashing number. This number is indicating what gear you should be in when you make the next turn. Sometimes this is overcompensated by how you have set the gear ratios or the condition of the tires at the time, but for the most part, it is a pretty good indication of the speed you need to be at in order to make the next turn without hitting a wall.

Burn rubber
Obtain a car with over 300 hp and go to the test course to modify your settings. Enter the race settings and go to far right setting with the two wrenches. Go to Active Stability Management and TCS Controller and turn them down to 0.
