- Videos of this are quite rare now on RUclips! Here's a 7 lap race, 100% Rain, driven with a G25 wheel and Fanatec pedals. This game is truly amazing and way, way ahead of its time. Still perhaps the best F1 game on the PC.

More than 20 years, and is still a beautiful game.
still one off the best
These rain effects in 2000 were quite spectacular
Let's get one thing straight. This is NOT [I repeat} NOT a 'game'.
Rather, it is a simulation of Formula One. You, have to learn every
aspect of your car, the tires, the engine, the suspension, fuel, the
lot. You have to learn the gears, and how the car will handle in certain
situations on the track and certain situations regarding the weather.
This,
even now, is to my mind, the greatest simulation of Formula One you can
get on computer. And that's saying something considering we are now in
2021 - almost 2022. I still have this great simulation [full box set
with the thick book which includes all the tracks alongside the
information of those tracks]. This simulation is what got me into
Formula One in the first place., all those years ago.
If anyone
buys this then be prepared to put in the effort and the hours. Because
this is not for the faint-hearted. It really puts into perspective what
it takes to drive a Formula One car. And how you have to know your car,
the gear set up, the tire pressures, what tires to use in different
weather conditions, the gear ratio, the suspension. Absolutely
everything.
100% spot on - this is a proper simulation
The reason codemaster looks amateur
🤣🤣🤣 It's a game.
Was a great game, played it so much as kid. :D
Me too, i remember when i saw this game in a store of a shopping of my country, i was 8~9yo and i hadn't any ideia If my PC could run the game. So i asked for help from my father and when i realize that my PC could run i almost immediatly went to the store to buy. I suffered a little with lags, but nothing that could stop my Fun hahaha
it`s a great game now, i play it in my pc. I`m 39 an play like a kid
@@pau8557 try F1 2018
@@equipeedpereira7654 Nothing better than this game in 2020 excepted a the pilot's simulator ! I spent so many hours on it... More than 1000 easy ! So much fun and realism...
me too this and gp4
This was the reason of my racing addiction....just the sound alone brings back memories.......AMAZING SIM...
Still one of the best weather simulations in mainstream games, even today, with parts of the track dry and others wet in the beginning of the rain, dry patch when rain goes away, different levels of rain at different parts of the race, tyre wear, etc. In Codemasters' F1 series, wet tyre in the dry will run slower than in the wet, and it's like there is a force pulling the car away at all times, which makes no sense, plus they just make a different grip level each lap, there is not any subtlety.
Your are so bang on. Why can it not be wet certain parts and not so others.
Also why can we not cool down tyres on wet patches etc
Best F1 game ever. I used to do a full race day simulation after watching the F1 race on tv. The physics, crashes and reliability issues was amazing and much better than any F1 game since
That actually looks rather good even today, basic but good
I didn't watch the whole video, but by basic do you mean just purely graphics while racing? The complete game is hugely complicated as you can alter every aspect of the car. Springs, dampers, wishbones you name it. If you don't get it right you don't go fast it's fantastic.
@@glencooper43 Yeah, talking about the visuals and the effects. Impressive that the gameplay is so detailed, thanks for the info.
@@gtabro1337 Grand Prix 3 (and its sequels) still have the best wet weather system as well, simulating clouds causing different wet conditions on the track and all that stuff.
There is so much attention to detail in this game, which helps compensate the obviously outdated visual effects. It aged better than most contemporary racing games.
Wow, I nearly forgot about my F1 addiction in youth, but somehow I remembered Grand Prix 3... When I came here, I expected an outdated game, but to be honest, it impresses me more than modern simulations. What a milestone this game was. As soon as I heard the sound of the engines, I remembered the 16 years old me, totally drenched in sweat, because I never wanted anything else than a simulation of a whole race.... What a game...
Having played some of the Codies games, I can honestly say GP3 is more realistic. Both the AI and physics are much, much better.
GP3 and 4 are still ahead of modern games in some aspects
Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix series remains the greatest Motor Racing simulation ever created, more than 20 years later (and more than 30 years after the first one) Nothing comes close
I've played GP1, GP2, GP3 and GP4, no joke. They were all unbelivable realistic, really fun to play and the level of detail on seting up the car was....wow. Great games, great memories. Thank you for the upload, specialy in Spa, witch was everybody's favorite track.
If you drove like this with the keyboard you'd been THE MASTER
I was the best using the keyboard
Agree. But I got pain in my wrist by using the A and Z Keys. The W and E keys are way more ergonomic.
How do you change the camera angle using the keyboard? I’m always stuck to cockpit view
@@remiicario Page up/down on top of my head. Did it work?
P em thx mate it did work
The sound of this game gives me chills.
Damon Hill Race at Spa. Great memories from that Race and from the game as well. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Handling was so good in this game and how the grip changed on different conditions. Good old times. I many times played hot-seat mode with friend and brother.
Had this game as soon as it came out. It was cutting edge graphics at that time and took a beefy PC to play.
0:42 "And Valtteri Bottas does an amazing start from P21 all the way up to P9 in the Tyrrell"
Sucks that it cannot be sold on Steam because the F1 rights have expired. I'm sure the young generation would be impressed by how realistic the handling felt compared to any codemaster F1 games so far. We were really spoiled with those GP games.
Thinking of it.. those old F1 games would run like butter in VR on any modern videocard.. if someone could make a DLL that makes it work like some other games that would be the cherry on top.
you can download it for free
Steam, sheem. Buy it on disc, I say.
Paul Naylor check out how freaking insane f1 2019 looks, and stop comparing this to f1 2019 graphically
The young generation won't be impressed.
Because they play games for graphics :D
Andrei Paul Anastasiu true but the handling is quite realistix
This was quite possible the most "ahead of its time" game of all time.
In terms of realism and AI, it's still ahead of most Codemasters F1 games
@@OldRacingGamesall.
Childhood memories........ This and need for speed underground was my go to game back then
I was so fucking good at this. I played it on ace straight out the box on career with 98 level competition in Sauber full race weekends and realistic weather. I remember qualifying 5th in Adelaide and finishing 3rd in the race, led in Spain until the gearbox knackered and finished fifth, finally won at imola I won three races and finished 5th in the championship.
Being fucking good at something doesnt make you a cool or earnest person
Adelaide is not present in the game
manoe jose bro its then argentina which is SO hard to beat on those old games ('97 had ai do 1:18s)
@@radekduklas5707 haha yes
Unless you change the setting with gp3 edit you always drive the most powerful car regardless which team you choose. So, you wouldn't have done better if you were driving a Mclaren. In that regard, your results are decent but not so much great.
Wow...this game looks superb, despite being quite old.
Ah this nostalagy moment what this brings on my mind! Good old times when music was made by guitar, all racing car had tobacco sponsors, races were full of crazy engine blows, this game series intros and menu music, so great times! I still race and even harder than ever, but this and GP2 was so great simulation games at that time! Still looks great! #suctioneffects
Brings back a lot of good memories, used to play a lot of gp2 and gp3. Not a big fan of gp4. I pressume there is not a lot of force feedback in the game? I played it with a joystick :) Thanks for uploading!
When the game has to be good, don't matter the limitations. It will be! Awesome title!
An AI Tyrrell in 9th place during lap one. One in a trillion chance of happening.
Oh man nostalgia. I used to be in Jordan to. As ralf schumacher.
Beautiful!
this game at the time was the most impressive with its graphics.
Growing up and watching my brother play GP, GP2 and later myself playing them, I remember buying GP3 of my own money just to annoy my brother by me having the latest installment. And he was annoyed indeed. He even asked my mother to share the game with him. (GP and GP2 were my fathers so I never borrowed games from my brother)
But jokes on me, my computer didn't run GP3 as intended because the PC was outdated, but I didn't want to accept the loss and refused to give or sell the game to my brother and hid it in a drawer. Only to find out later he was sneakily getting in my room to borrow the game and play for it himself, lol. I can laugh about it now. But my brother and I definitely had our shares of combat.
Glad it didnt took too long, because I finally got a new PC and could finally play this game. Spend hours and hours with it.
I just found this game when i was cleaning my room.
dude same thing happened to me 2 days ago
One of the best racing games of ever. Way ahead of its time!
Going to be more viewed now that Hammy has mentioned it
I loved this game so much :/
Great simulation...on the first few goes its like driving on an ice rink if you are used to arcade type racers, but you soon learn to respect the realistic handling
OMG! I never thought this game was so well developed! My first F1 game was F1 2002 (EA) and it was not so dissimilar to this one which came out in 1998
This is still better than the F1 games on Consoles
I cant say that I hate this type of cartoon graphic, I very appreciate this, I hope the physic, the mathematics, the taste of the f1 reality is well made.
Hard to believe I’d rather play this game with a keyboard than f1 2020 game with a Logitech wheel.
Same
I loved this game as a kid 👍
better then the most arcade games like forza or gran tourismo today
GT was a thing in that days
Nice - makes a change watching someone trying to actually race, rather than the usual demolition derby...
It was a gigantic step over GP2, but seemed to get overshadowed by GP4. It had incredible weather effects.
Looks better than F1 23. Less clean, but more realistic in terms of lighting. F1 23's dark areas are pitchblack. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Good race!
Wow, what a start by the Morse guy
F1 2018 by codies is good. But this is more nostalgic. Plus the AI is more sensible. They don't barge you off the track and run into your rear. Like the modern F1 Codemasters games.
Try F1 Challenge 99-02 by EA sports. That's a classic too. Also Grand Prix Legends from 1998. The latter can be upgraded to ps2-3 style graphics and you can experience races from the 60's. Absolute all time great.
This Sound....its embedded in my head....
Great game!! Even today it looks great!!
Good driver... But racing with the wrong tires for that weather.
i am wondering how did you get rid of the purple ring around the inside and outside of the tyres graphics bug, which seems to plague every attempt to run GP3 in modern OS's?
I have GP3 running nice and fast with DGvoodoo 2.55, but still it has some graphical quirks when its rainy .
For the purple tyre ring bug, i applied some edited BMP files that kind of fix this but still are not perfect, and not at all like what yours looks like
loved this game as a kid
still has better physics than codemasters f1
amazing this game ! still beautiful !
Spettacolo, comunque la Microprose è tornata.
Noice. Here some cookies 🍪 and milk 🥛. Thanks Bro!
P5, Nice Video. 👌🐈
A game this detailed, updated with todays graphics would be amazing. I'm surprised they don't use this in these virtual racing championships we see these days
Muito bom nostalgia total gp3 Brasil 👍👍👊
The game they use in esport is not chosen for its realism but for financial reasons.
Loved this game
At 14:52 I found myself cheering in front of my monitor.
That looks incredibly good
I've got grand prix 4 on pc and I absolutely love it but it's so unstable that I literally can't play it properly. These still have to be the best f1 games out there.
It's not often I look at footage of a racing game, and then actually sit there and watch the whole race. That was pretty immersive for such an older game. The AI seems to put the majority of contemporary race AI to shame.
I'm a noob at this game, how to i change the keyboard setup on controls?
i'm actually trying to seup my wheels on GP4, but the game sees all three pedals on Y axes only, do you have any advice to fixing this problem??
Please dont tell me your fanatec pedals are the V3. Is the myth then true that only the V3 wil work with GP3 / 4. ? Will my CSR Elite ever work?
Hi. I would like to have the list of music in the game Grand prix 3. Can you help me? Thanks
Nostalgic.❤
How are you able to play without lag?
This is why PC really used to be the master race back in the day. Look at what else was around. Gran Turismo on PSone? Good for the hardware but this is streets ahead. Can't remember what wheel I had at the time, early logitech forcefeedback of some sort I think. I bet if I replayed this now I'd still rate it ahead of whatever shit codemasters are knocking out now.Even when the dreamcast came out and then the PS2,the graphics weren't as good, by which time the PC had moved on again. Now I can't be arsed with a fast pc as I've no desire to move past 1080p for the moment. The only thing that's tempting me is perhaps VR.
The Best forever!!!
A formula 1 game without stutter. The good old days.
After the tunnel at Montecarlo there is a glitch...dont do the chicane...drive trough the wall it need speed car indestructable and the Right portion of the wall
can u tell to us, which hardware was it? which operative system ? It seems quite good fps, but in modern pcs it's hard to do with gp3.. I would like to know , what did u use? is it by dgvoodoo? which version, if yes?
Yes, dgvoodoo! You will need v2.53 as 2.54 doesn't work with GP3. Follow my guide here: www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?1,1097753,page=1
ok, thanks. on wich type of hardware was it? intel graphics hd or ati readeon or asus or geforce? which CPU?
ATI R9 390x / i7-4970k
How does it work with G25? Do you need to use emulators or it just accept any analog signals? Could it work with G920
It will just accept the signals. It even works with my Fanatec CSL Elite. Just make sure you set it up as per my other video and you will get FFB.
Anyone knows how to get this properly running on Windows 10? I always get huge lag when starting races or passing the AI cars in the pits during qualifying and practice.
dgvoodoo2 DirectX Wrapper.
@@TheFastlane Thank you!
How do you replay a race?
At least 10 years ahead of time if we take graphics into consideration, as a simulator it’s probably better than F1 23
Who's here because of Lewis Hamilton??
Me hahaha
This is the best f1 game ever!! the f1 codemaster not arrive in detail information and accurate than GP3
Can you please explain how to use it with windows 10? It seems so smooth! Thanks
Send me one e-mail: l.gomes87@outlook.com and can I help you.
Minha infância aí....=)
Get a black screen while trying to run the fame. Is there any solution?
Make sure you have the latest patches for the game. If you're trying to run it on something other than Windows XP (or Vista), you'll need the dgvoodoo wrapper.
Old Racing Games thx, i fixed the problem with black screen, but usage of voodoo leads to fps lowering, any fix? Did u have such experience?
someone would have to remaster it! and if possible update the season and tracks
Are the cameras on top of the airboxes modded?
In my game, no, but I have run modded versions in the past.
This still looks decent, realistic and playable.
It is.
This game its possible for android ?
Can someone give me download link?
paodelaranja32 Thanks man
The only limitation I've found with Grand Prix 4 is the AI aggression. This is most noticeable at the starts when all of the AI cars stick to the racing line and you can just send it down the inside and overtake about 10 cars every time into the first corner. Overall a great game though
This seems to be a problem with many, many games. Even the latest F1 game that I have played (F1 2013) is the same. I guess start behaviour is something that is really difficult to solve (although GPL somehow managed it)
I believe the AIs have improved a lot with the most recent Codemasters games too, though I haven't played those so much
To remediate that and have a fair race on, do an average to bad start intentionally or keep the outside while approcahing the first corner.
Я не Ваномас, но такие то отражения!
which wheel can work with this game?
For me, it worked with both Logitech G25 and Fanatec CSL 1.1. Game itself is not running well on my current PC though.
@@OldRacingGames do you work with Dosbox?
@@OldRacingGames why not running well ?
@@SmithChan-qp3xh Now that I changed from an old AMD card to a new NVIDIA card the new drivers aren't as compatible with the game.
@@OldRacingGames which OS do you used? Win 98 or Win 10?
It was basically just Grand Prix 2 with improved graphics. Grand Prix 4 was a better simulation

Καλή Κατερίνα η Ρένα φοράει φορμες
Is there a widescreen mod for this?
No. Also it won't work on Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 without a DirectX wrapper as DX8 is no longer supported by these operating systems.
OK, thanks.
Damon Hill.😁
All cars looking the same except for the livery was a real flaw.
I believe this was rectified in GP4
The graphics are not actually that bad
Anyway, the grapichs are the least important thing in a such game/simulation and as you said gp3's is more than good enough.
Risk to emulate the famous 1998 crash at 0:58 😂
Good vid mate! This is a modded 1998 tobacco version of GP3. Am I right?
Check out also my RUclips channel, I do F1 retro-games gameplay and more!
Dislike: no crash big in the start ok no
