I agree. It's blindingly brilliant. I just can't make my mind up which way round is best. Reverse direction is currently my favourite.

Yes. I used to be a big fan of SS R11 in GT1. A combination of a long lap, long straight and short, tight turns was great. That chicane was my favourite bit (once you've got the technique, it can be negotiated at full throttle in most cars). But, alas, they've modified it now and taken out the whole tunnel/chicane section and replaced it with another hairpin and the lamest chicane in the world (you can straight-line the damn thing!). Still, that big-wheel in the sky line looks pretty with all the different-coloured lights... ;)
> Looking forward to Monaco (Cote d'Azur).......
This circuit is quite good. Initially I thought I wouldn't like it, as all the F1 racing games I've played featuring Monaco have made it a complete b*stard. However, in GT3 it's quite good once you've got the technique sorted. My only niggle is that it takes a lot of concentration to run a course that's so stop/start on a long race. But, then that's what makes it such a challenge. Oh, and here's tip - don't try and use your huge horsepower motors on the circuit - you'll get beaten by Lotus Elises every time. What you need is a small, nimble, lightweight car with a decent amount of power. Acceleration, braking and handling are the key here - not top speed.

R246. This is an excellent track, long straights for slipstreaming, fast and slow corners. As well as the layout though, the scenery is superbly detailed, not that you have much time to appreciate it.
grand theft audio.....oh race track.....spose its tokyo
My favourite track so far will have to be R246. But I like the Grand Valley too. But I havent seen most of the tracks yet like Stage 5, and Laguna Seca
Try eBay
I'm SO tempted to get a PS2 just for GT3.
Anyone want to sell me theirs second hand?

i love the forest one and special 5 when it' wet it's just outstanding on the friction.
Mine has always been Seatlle since GT2.
But the new Tokyo R246 is catching up fast! VERY fast!
