I see no problems with GP3; excellent, IMO.

    Why do you like it? Too many "me too" posts (whether pro or con) in this
forum.

I like it, cause I liked GP2, and since it is the sequel with a lot better
graphics, brilliant weather effects, brilliant AI, and it doesn't take a
Gigaherz CPU to run it properly.
It's fun driving, it's realistic and it's smoooooth, what else do you want??
Another grfx heavy sim that will bring even next years CPU to it's knees???
Come one, be happy that Crammond finally realised that he's there to make money,
not to please himself.
I think it's the perfect deal state-of-the-art F1 sim and clever marketing.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
YES! YES! OOooooooh GOD YES!!

Ahem, excuse me :o) GP3 seems, in my opinion, to have the the physics of a Formula One car
absolutly correct (not that I could say for sure, of course but I've seen them on telly
lots :)). The car has to be driven very precisely, it's quite a challenge, but when you do
a good lap, it really feels like a good lap. You can really attack the kerbs too, which is
fun and getting the power down without losing momentum is a real challenge! Another thing I
noticed is that I could weave the car form side to side to warm up my tyres and feel in
complete control; you can't do this in GP2!

I'm prolly not making any sense, but I'm very happy with my 1:17.432 I just set at
Montreal.

What's wrong with that? The AI would be ***ed if they NEVER rear ended
you - remember GOOD AI should take into account available and visual cues
and driver reaction time - if you brake early for a corner and there is
another car behind you it SHOULD run into the back of you...

My personal hate about driving games AI is that they often stick to the
racing line - ignoring the fact that you've come alongside on the inside of
a corner...

Thats the point for me to Rob the car feel's alive and when I'm racing
the race seems alive too.

I've said a couple of times on this group now GPL mayeb the best
simulation of a car.  But GP3 is by far the best simulation of a race
that I have ever experienced the weather takes this game into a
different league from the rest.

Geez, I'm getting a bit fed up with all you GP3 - GC can do no wrong -
apologists. I'm talking about cars that rear end you just because you
are not going fast enough for their liking, not because I'm braking.
I'm talking about a Ferrari that rear ended me as I was leaving the
pits. I don't hate GP3, but I don't love it either. Can't even post
constructive criticism around here.

Rob,what gives you the right to enjoy GP3.The self proclaimed experts
here on RAS know all about F1 cars and how they handle.You simply
can't enjoy GP3,you're not allowed to. : D

    This is what I was looking for, Rob. I just can't stand those "me too!"
posts. Give me reasons why you like it or hate it, boys and girls! :)

Maybe you're too damn slow ;-))
Jos Verstappen just rear-ended Villeneuve in warm-up this morning, cause
Jacques was just too damn slow....simple as that!
So it's realistic, don't complain, learn how to drive!!!

Maybe you should stay away from the racing line when you're leaving the pit ;-))

I really spend many hours with GP3 allready, and I nobody ever rear-ended my
car...
I did ran into some myself though....;-))

I can see that happening on occasion, but not in every race. Just like
every other race doesn't have rain in real life, but it does in GP3.
