Following a psychotic gaming episode where I wiped my two 8MB memory cards of all game saves and started from scratch again, I've just started Gran Turismo 3 (for about the 4th time).

This time my aim is to get 100% completion (something I've never achieved before due to those damn dirty Licence Tests) and collect some F1 cars along the way.

Have any of you actually 'completed' 100% the whole game? If so, how long did it take? (Without using cheats).

And what's in your garage? At present all I've got is the Toyota Trueno Sprinter and the MX-5(J), but hey, I only started this morning.

I got about 85% complete, and I also completed Concept fully. In my garage are about 70 cars. My fave in my garage is the LM Honda S2000. Such a fast cornerer. The Polyphony cars are also a blast! My fave car out of both PS2 versions of GT though is definetely the Red Bull Audi TT!

Hehe...just realised, there's a great way to cheat on GT3.

Complete GT Concept so you've got the 10 mil credit option available.

Start GT3 again and save the game.

Revert back to GT Concept and use the 10 mil transfer option.

Backt to GT3 and Voila 10 mil smackeroonies sitting in your bank to play with :)

I might just try that when my 2 new memory cards turn up :)

Favorite car is probably the TVR Cerbera Speed 12, with TCS and ASM set to zero.

*Absolutely Useless* for competitive racing, but for showboating with Tiff Needell style sideways action it can't be beat.

Requires a feather touch on the ol' accellerator though...

Just thinking about that TVR and showboating, what would be really good was if they included in the tracks a massive test area with different surfaces that you could just throw the car around instead of trying to do that on a track.

Get that back end hanging out :)

You have to complete the TVR Tuscan Championship, and it is one of the 4 prizes available.

SO the easiest thing to do is save after the penultimate race (pref 10pts ahead of the nearest rival) and then reload this save until you win the speed 12.

It's available from an endurance race too.

Bah, I've been reminded of how much I was enjoying Gran Turismo and then left it to gather dust while I played soemthing else. Too much of a regular thing with games these days for me that.

I want to go down and play it properly but no. I must do this Homework/Coursework, or maybe both.
