                        GT3 PAL PRIZE CAR LIST/GUIDE
                        ----------------------------
I have decided to compile this guide,which I have now decided will expand and
become a whole PAL Version guide,because I have seen lots of Europeans have
been left out in the cold with the number of North American Version based FAQ's
and Car Guides.This is confusing many people,so I have decided to clarify
things with this guide.

Before I start,I must stress that I hate and detest the idea of plageurism,and
that all the lists of Cars and information on this Guide have been gathered by
me,from playing my copy of GT3.This is not just a rip-off of other Guides as I
guess many of these sort of lists are.So in short,if it's on the list
below,I've worked for and eventually Won it.

Gran Turismo 3 is Developed by Polyphony Digital and Published by Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe(SCEE).All Manufacturers,Cars,Names,Brands and Associated
Imagery featured in the Game and in this Guide are property of their respective
owners.

Version History-
----------------
Version 1.0-21/8/01(21st August)-First started the whole guide by typing out
intro,PAL Version info etc.Started the Prize Car list by typing out all the
Races and listing the Cars that I have won from them so far.Obviously that
leaves a lot of blank spaces so I'd better get Playing and fill a few more in!
Version 1.1-22/8/01-28/8/01(22nd-28th August)-The guide has come on a lot in
the past week and expanded quite a lot,but I have been doing it bit by bit and
not listing it down,so I will round up all the last Weeks work and call it Ver
1.1.
Version 1.2-28/8/01-31/8/01(28th-31st August)-Just updated the guide bit by bit
over the last few Days,having won the All Night Enduro for the first time and
the Roadster Enduro again,as well as The Beginner GT World Championship and
Yaris Cup,Amateur GT All Stars,and MR Cup.
Version 1.3-28/9/01(28th September)-Well,what a month....I will roll up all the
past few Weeks work into Version 1.3.As a sidenote I reached 50%,won all Rally
Races and progressed a bit through Arcade mode.
Version 1.4-12/10/01(12th October)-Solved the mystery of the PAL F1 Cars(See
below)and decided to rename the guide GT3 PAL Prize Car List/Guide
Version 1.5-3/11/01(3rd November)-More gradual Prize Updates-including the
Amateur Altezza Championship,Pro Race of NA Sports,and I-B License all
Golds),and the addition of the Race/Championship Guide.
Version 1.6-11/11/01(11th November)-Quite a bit of progress in the Game and
with the guide,including winning the Beginner Altezza Championship,Pro Gran
Turismo World Championship,Amateur FF Challenge,and Pro 4WD Challenge among
others.
Version 1.65-16/11/01(16th November)-Reopened the case on the F1 Cars.
Version 1.7-19/11/01-21/11/01(19th-21st November)-Further Updated the PAL F1
Cars saga and the Opel/Vauxhall issue.Also started Prize Car colour guide.
Version 1.8-23/11/01(23rd November)-Bigger and better,added the 'Exclusive
Colours' section to the Car Colour guide,added European and American
Championship details to the Race/Champ guide,and expanded the Prize Car guide
further after winning the Euro Championhip again as well as Amateur 80's Sports
Car cup.

The PAL Version
---------------
The PAL Version is the Version of GT3 A-Spec sold in Europe,and as a result is
has several localisations eg In the UK Version there is a Vauxhall dealer and
Cars,as opposed to Opel in the rest of Europe versions.However,there are
several Cars which appear in the other versions(Japanese and American)which do
not appear in the PAL Version.To the best of my knowledge,these Cars are the
following-
Race Cars-
Nomad Diablo GT(Japanese Version only)
Formula One Cars-
F686/M
F687/S
F688/S
F090/S
F094/H
F094/S
We do get some replacements,but unfortunately they are not only as numerous,but
most would say not as Good either.Again to the best of my knowledge here our
our replacements-
Road Cars-
Acura RSX
Honda CR-X 1.6 Vti('Del Sol')(PAL Exclusive)
Formula One Cars-
Polyphony 001(PAL Exclusive)-F094/S Hybrid
Polyphony 002(PAL Exclusive)-F688/S Hybrid
Hopefully as I play through the game I may find more but it is unlikely.We will
more probably just have juggled around Prize Cars as opposed to New ones.The
omissions that most annoyed/saddened me were the 6 F1 Cars that appear in the
Japanese and American Versions.They are based on Real-Life Late-80's and
Early-90's F1 Cars and have coded names,eg F090/S-a
V10(8-V8,0-V10)1990(90-1990)Senna driven Car(/S-Senna).They unfortunately don't
run in real liveries due to licensing reasons.In the PAL Version,we get only 2
Formula One Cars-The 001,and the 002-but at least we get a newer High-Nosed F1
Car that the Americans and Japanese don't get(The 001),whereas the 002 is
probably nearest to the F687/S in comparison terms(Although I think it is
either an 87 or 88 McLaren-Tag or Honda).

The Mystery is solved
---------------------
Right,as of yesterday(5th Oct)I now know that the 001 is an F094/S hybrid-it is
exactly the same as the F094/S except that it has a high nose Front
Wing,probably stolen from another '94 F1 Car.As for the 002,it is a F688/S
McLaren hybrid-identical again,but this time with a thinner Rear Wing.
So it's-
Polyphony 001-Ayrton Senna's Williams-Renault FW16,1994(F094/S)Hybrid,with high
nose front wing.
Polyphony 002-Ayrton Senna's McLaren-Honda MP4/4,1988(F688/S)Hybrid-The most
succesful F1 Car ever,winning 15/16 rounds of that year's World Championship.

No,it's not....
---------------
The case is open again after I checked out a PAL F1 Cars topic from earlier
this year at GranTurismo.com.It seems to suggest several possibilities-
-The 001 and 002 are hybrids of two or more(unknown)other real life Cars.
-The Polyphony 001 is the Williams FW17 from 1995-This one looks promising,from
the pics I've seen it's a good match-with possibly a few hybrid parts.
-The 001 is an F094/S hybrid
-The 001 is a totally made up F1 Car,based loosly on 94/95 season machines.

As for the 002-
-It's a hybrid of one or more of the NA/Jap version Turbo Era cars,most likely
the F687/S or F688/S,or possibly even all three.
-It's another F1 Car from that period,possibly a Lotus or McLaren
-It's a totally made up Car,based loosly on Cars from that period.

More reaseach is needed,and is ongoing....

UPDATE-Well,those Americans lucky enough to have a Sharkport have been thanking
their lucky Stars and Stripes this week as the infamous Nomad Diablo GT,cut out
of the US and PAL versions for licensing reasons,has become available on a
Downloadable save on the Internet at IGN.com.Now,as much as I'd like the
Diablo,2 things stop me from getting one-
1)I don't have a Sharkport,and I don't think you can get them in the UK anyway.
2)The downloadable game save is for the American version of the game anyway.

However,this is a good sign because it means-a)people have started hacking 
'secret' Cars for GT3 and b)the people who got hold of the Diablo on that
gamesave at Ign must have used a Cheat Cartridge in the first place,opening the
floodgates for more Cars to be hacked....Like the 6 F1 Cars for us PAL
Gamers.It could be only a matter of time before there's a PAL code out there
for those 6 beauties,and as soon as there is I'll be off after a PS2 Xploder(or
something similar)quicker than you can say 'Why do we only get 2 F1 Cars?'.....

Vauxhall VX220/Opel Speedster Glitch
------------------------------------
I must also list that I have recently had pointed out to me,and noticed myself
a Glitch that must have occured in the conversion between The PAL UK
Version(that I have),and the PAL Rest of Europe Versions.It concerns the
Small,Sleek,Cool-Looking Vauxhall VX220(as it is known in the UK),or the Opel
Speedster as it is called in the other Euro Versions.Although the Opel version
should only be on the Euro version,and the Vauxhall on the UK version,they both
frequently appear together in the Beginner MR Cup,which means that although it
is not Buyable/Winnable,the Speedster variation appears on the UK Conversion
and vice versa.Although you cannot Drive it(Vauxhall in the Euro ver,and Opel
in the UK Ver)it is there and can be Raced against.So although I think that
makes them(depending on what Version you have)the only Cars on the game that
you cannot Drive,I think it was a pretty cool mistake-After all it's one more
Vehicle for all us Car-deprived PAL Players.....

Another mystery is solved
-------------------------
(Thanks to Greg Dennis for pointing this one out to me)Well,it would appear
that we PAL gamers have inherited another 3 Cars,(well at least variants of
Cars)because as was so kindly pointed out to me,the Opel Cars ARE available on
the PAL version,bizzarely they become available through doing nothing more than
changing the language to something other than English.So just take out the
Memory Card that has your main(presumably English)save on and start the
game.When the game loads and brings up the language screen,just pick any other
language,French for example,and then when the game loads go into Simulation
mode and head for the Car lot.Look under Germany,and there it is!!!Opel are
strangely there,with the Speedster,Opel Astra Touring Car and Opel Calibra
Touring Car,all there up for the driving.Other than their badges,and in the
case of the Touring Cars,differing liveries,they're identical to their English
counterparts,but nevertheless the Collectors value is enough for me.The
Speedster is available to buy straight away,although you'll need to do some
Races to afford it,but the Touring Cars will take considerably more
work.Anyway,once you have them,as long as you have another Memory Card you can
save them onto a Second Card and then trade them over to your original save.

Prize Car List
--------------
As I have already mentioned,I have gathered the info for this guide from
playing my copy of GT3,and so that means that all the Cars below(the list of
which will of Course expand as I unlock more Cars and play further through the
game)are in my Garage right now.So basically,if it's not there yet(and just a
blank space or a ?)I haven't Won it yet.Simple

Race/Championship Guide
-----------------------
Some of us-like me-like to know what sort of Cars we should enter in Races and
Championships for a competetive run,so that we don't end up racing a 600hp
Tuned Skyline into a Race which is going to be full of 80hp Daihatsu's...So
here's a rough guide of what sort of Cars you'll be Racing against in some of
the trickier or less well defined Races/Tournaments,and what I recommend you
use-

Beginner Level-

FF Challenge(Single)-You'll probably enter this at the start of the game,and at
that point you'll probably only really have pretty poor FF Cars anyway-I
personally used a slightly tuned PT Spyder,but almost any FF Car will
do-preferably a pretty low power one if you're looking for a decent Race,but
you should win easily anyway.
Lightweight K Cup(Single)-At first the are only two Cars eligable to Race,so
you don't have much of a choice,but these lowest power Races in the game are
suprisingly fun,but you'll need a little bit of tuning to wrap up all 3 Races
and take home the 3rd eligible Car,the non-buyable Mini 1.3.
Toyota Yaris Race(Champ)-Hmmm,this one is a lot harder than it looks-And the
Cars you race against definetely aren't stock,but it's still hard to find a
balance between smoking them,and being thrashed-So try maybe a Turbo Level
One,and no more.
Legend of the Silver Arrow(Single,Mercedes only)-Mainly full of SLK 230
Kompressor Sports Cars-which is what I used-,I recommend you buy one and tune
it mildly.As for the Amateur level Race-I again used my SLK-you'll need to tune
your Kompressor a lot to win this one,or even be up there.Maybe even a Turbo
Stage 2 or so.You could buy a bigger,more powerful Merc,but they are quite
expensive and pretty heavy.
Evolution Meeting(Single,Lancer Evos only)-I only did this recently and it's
good fun in a stock VII GSR,which you can win at the Amateur Level 4WD
Challenge.The Prize Car is a pretty cool Lancer Evo VI too.
New Beetle Cup(Champ)-You'll really need a Beetle Cup Car to win this one,as
the entire field is made up of the little beasts-For the record,you can pick
one up from the Deutsche Tourenwagen Challenge.Once you have one however,no
tuning is needed and it's great,fun Racing.

Amateur Level-

European Championship-I raced this again just today(23rd Nov),and this time I
stayed I went with the gentlemens' rule and used a European Car,in this case a
stock RUF 3400S.It was a great championship,and good fun dicing up against the
Zonda C12 and Lotus Elise 190,and although I almost dominated the early part of
the Championship-winning the first two Races-a couple of silly mistakes cost me
the next two rounds to the Elise,and so as we headed for the title decider,I
narrowly led the Championship by just 2 points from the Elise.And it was off to
Monte Carlo,and what a place for the title decider,probably the most famous
Race Track in the World,with a history rivalled only by Le Mans and
Indianopolis.I stormed the qualifying session to take pole ahead of the C12,and
held my nerve to take the flag,despite a few nervous lock-ups on the last
lap....
Sorry,got a bit carried away there,but it was a great championship,and there
was a real sense of achievement to be had in beating the Zonda in a stock
3400S(one of my favourite Cars).A few other European Cars will work well
too,such as a Zonda,any Elise,an Aston Martin DB7 if you want a bit of a
challenge,and I guess a Clio Sport would put up a good fight with a bit of
tuning.If you're not bothered about running a non-European Car,a GT40 Road Car
will provide great racing against the C12,as I'm sure would many other
Cars;it's a pretty open entry really.

American Championship-You'll find that the Cars you'll come up against here
will be suprisingly fast,and it could be rather a rude awakening if you're just
moving up from Beginnner level.As you see in the preview,you will come up
against in particular a Shelby Cobra(there's normally only one)which is very
powerful,as well as a few Chevrolet Camaro's and Corvettes,and maybe a Ford
Mustang.But if you don't want to have to buy a Shelby-you'll win one later in
the game anyway-the excellent GT40 Road Car from Amateur Level GT All-Stars
will do nicely.The computer uses very fast Cars like the Shelby,but they're not
normally very advanced Driving-wise,so you can normally win pretty easily.I
could've sworn I've seen a C5R Race Car turn up every once in a while though,so
if that happens you can either quit out and start again,hoping for better
luck,or fight fire with fire and use a C5R,but then you might end up racing
that against Road Cars.Generally though,a GT40 Road Car will do you
well,although of course that's assuming you want to stay with the spirit and
use an American Car,if you don't there are loads of machines that will give you
a good,hopefully competetive series,especially when you bare in mind that the
American Cars are nearly always very heavy.

Prize Car Colour Guide-
----------------------
In this section I will post the various Colours of Prize Cars that I have or
have seen,and are therefore available,so you'll know whether it's worth Racing
a series again to get hold of the Car in another colour.I'll also try to post
exclusive colours that you can only get buy winning the Car,which sometimes can
be won only once.
So far,I know of-
Polyphony 001-Black,Light Blue/White,Green/Yellow,Black/Yellow,Black/White
,Red/White
Polyphony 002-Blue/White,Red/White,White/Purple,Silver-Grey/Purple,Bright
Yellow/Purple,Black/Purple
Chevrolet Camaro Race Car-Blue/White,Red/White,Green/White
Impreza LM Racecar-Grey,Yellow

Exclusive Colours-Cars which can be bought,but have special,non-buyable colours
you can only pick up when you win them as Prize Cars.Those Rare colours are
listed here-

Honda NSX Type S Zero-Very deep Bluey-Purple(Obviously this Colour has no
name,but it is exclusive)
Mazda MX-5-J Limited/Sunburst Yellow,Supreme Blue Mica,Sparkle Greeen Metallic
Mazda MX-5 1.5RS-Sparkle Green Metallic
Mazda MX-5 1.8i-Mariner Blue,Sunburst Yellow
Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R-Dandelion Yellow
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV GSR-Dandelion Yellow
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII GSR-Champagne Gold
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II(R34,J)-Aurora Effect
RUF 3400S-Champagne Gold Metallic
Subaru Legacy B4 Blitzen-Cashmere Yellow
Suzuki Alto Works Suzuki Sports Ltd-Gold
Toyota Vitz RS 1.5-Pink,Yellow
TVR Griffith 500-Silver Metallic


Obviously not every car,particularly Race Cars,have more than one colour,so
only the ones that do will appear here.
-More coming soon
