"Grand Prix 3" (GP3) is a computer racing simulator by MicroProse. Released in 2000 by Hasbro Interactive featuring the 1998 Formula One season. The game wasn't as well received as its predecessors [http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/driving/grandprix3/review.html?mode=web] , but at the time was widely considered to be the best racing simulation available.

An add-on to the game, called "GP3-2000" or "GP32k",Fact|date=April 2008 was released by Hasbro which updated the game to the 2000 Formula One season. A few other changes were made as well including: updated damage physics including damage from on-circuit debris, improved AI, a new replay system, and EAX 3D-sound.

Since the release of Grand Prix 4, the GP3 modding scene has slowly declined, and with the cracking of track editing for GP4 many track modders left GP3 for the newer title.Verify source|date=April 2008

Major Changes from Grand Prix 2

Weather - Although its predecessors had featured wet races, GP3 added variable rainfall, i.e. the track's wetness changing throughout the course of a race, and varying levels of wetness at different points on the track. It also improved the driving model used when driving in wet conditions.

Commentary - Players received communications from their team, about incidents on the track or when they needed to pit. Some of these sounds were included in Grand Prix 2 but were not active in the game.
