there was an edit program, I think it was called iripper, you could alter the files and have any car on ny track, we used to race the f1000's on every surface online. great fun.
i heard a rumor that some of the guys that designed Toca games worked on the first project cars. it really does feel like the unofficial successor of Toca.All it is missing is more classic race cars and rally.
We need ToCA Race Driver 4 not 1000000000 ferraris and lamborghinis since the beginning. Kids these days have become too lazy, they want everything unlocked so thats what devs give them.
Man I remember picking this title up and going home to pop it in. I was blown away with what they were able to accomplish on the PS2 with this game. Yeah, I saw some obvious compromises like how the AI was handled at various distances from the player, but it was still impressive with the amount of content they were able to squeeze into this title for the time period, a lesson a lot of developers/publishers from today need to learn from.
Brilliant game, possibly the best racing game of all time, variety, fun, had it all. The last of these that Codemasters made was Dirt 3, since then they've released titles with limited circuit choice, car choice and no story. All we would like is a game that caters for all aspects of Motorsport
First game I used to love playing online till silly hours in the morning and was the first time I used a microphone to speak to others, god I miss it so much.
Toca series at its top in Toca 3, car handeling was amazing with a ffb wheel ,and those wildcats,DTM and F1 cars where the perfect simulator rides back then
TheCraziestGamer GRID is not the same thing at all, its an arcade racer and its missing way too many options to be compared to TOCA ..i dont know if you ever played TOCA race driver 3, but its a totally different beast, it was an amazing franchise, one of the very best in racing! Just the DTM races alone were worth it, there was so many things to do in this game, it was a much much better game than gran turismo imo, i still wish that they will revive this franchise someday
I loved this game, it was one of the games I traded with friends as a kid and it still holds up gameplay wise. I spent countless hours unlocking all the beautiful cars in this game.
Within 2 days you have become my favorite channel on RUclips. Please NEVER change your formula. I really hope your channel blows up. You grew up with PlayStation like me; in terms of gaming I swear you are my Australian equivalent doppelganger. Much respect from the US!.
Interestingly, one of the first racing games I got into was literally the Nintendo DS version of this (branded as Race Driver: Create And Race). For a DS game, it was FANTASTIC and contained most of the content of this. Finally got the PS2 version recently and it's absolutely excellent.
DTM: Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. Or:“German Touring Car Championship“ Correct is:“Deutschetouranwagenmeisterschaft“ In german you can put Nouns together to form a new word.
I want another TOCA game. Especially if they can A: Get the DTM license B: Get the license of forza and do something about it C: Get BTCC and have all 32 cars and D: Get a new license like NASCAR or Super GT =)
Broady Taylor so I got this game when I was 9 and had no clue how to race now I’m 20 home from college for the weekend decided to dust off my ps2 and found it
I think this was one of the all-time best in terms of opponent AI, variety, and damage. The online was great too! This is where I spent the summer of 2006 😂
I like to imagine a parallel reality in wich this game is sold in South America as "Stock Car Race Driver 3". This dream would come true in 2014, but that's for another video i suppose
I still love this game. Forza 7 is collecting dust while I play this because I just keep going back to the Pro Career mode in the touring car discipline.
No, there shouldn‘t be any new cutscenes depending on how you went. Look in the introduction race at the laps, it says 3/3. So Rick was obviously meaning how you took that corner BEFORE you took control. And certainly, if you drove like a maniac, Rick wouldn‘t be too impressed even if you came 1st.
Just bought the game and I love it ! going retro with my PS2 ( I own PS4 - PS3 - xbox360 ). the car handling better than many 360 - PS3 titles even PS4 !! many people who complain about this game , forgot the settings - yes it exists and can set the way u want to play it . wish could play it in HD
Not a big fan of penalties during a race, would always get pissed off when it happened during the Special Condition Events in Gran Turismo 4. That being said, this game actually does look like something I would enjoy, and will be picking it up sometime soon.
yeah, and it's also pretty annoying that you have to turn it on EVERY SINGLE TIME when you start the game, unlike other less important settings that get saved
I remember back in 2006 when this game came out i couldn't decide to pick up this one or get Heroes of the Pacific. So glad i picked up Heroes instead (excellent game btw). The Toca series always had a weird vibe; i played Pro race driver earlier and it felt off-ish compared to other racers i played at the time (GT series mostly).
I am not huge fan of racing games, so true realistic gameplay don't bother me too much. I just want to have fun. Considering this TOCA RD 3 is the best racing game i've ever played, and I still coming back to that game, mostly because HUUUGE variety, this game has evrything, from rallys on dirt or gokarts, to super cars, monster trucks or even formula 1. And I love fact that in every race I can play qualifing to get good starting position.
The penalty system in this game was a nightmare and pro career mode was just plain work if you wanted to complete it (even with 1 lap races). The career mode was fun but lacked story unlike it's predecessors. Online racing was great though and in terms of racing and variety this game kicked ass!
Man, I really want a new game like this. I know the GRID series is going, and also have a few different styles of racing. But this game has so much stuff to do, F1, Touring Cars, Retro Muscle, Nascar (or an unlicenced variant afaik), you could even race Go Karts and Lawnmowers.
ColourShedProductions (or anyone) , What FoV \ field of view angle is used by ToCA3 NTSC-U ( and ToCA2 if known) in both 4 : 3 and widescreen viewing modes? - Not sure about PS2's ToCA2 but ToCA3 NTSC-U has widescreen output capability. Is the same FoV angle used across all platforms? === Would like to utilize this angle ( namely driver's PoV ) from whatever source ( again, if it's the same across platforms ) and, considering my screen width, ascertain the correct viewing distance for an accurate, intuitive experience via a 1:1 match.
Hachi Roku , I've seen that video and, out of curiosity, went to link to the FoV calculators in that video's description - thanks. What I am needing is the game's angle(s) of view to insert into that online calculator. ____ I'd like to hear from anyone regarding this series' field of (horizontal) view. Without it, I can't determine viewing distance for my screen.
*If you are planning to play this game on PC...do not play it without finding a way to get rid of the StarForce DRM, regardless if you bought it or pirated it. There are reports going around that games with StarForce DRM may brick the entire operating system*
I missed the consitent story line form the first two games. Even they are cringe and not really necessary. TOCA 3 is the best games out of the three, but the story lines from the first one´s where are a nice little toch. And to be honest they are less cringe then todays storys in racing games.
Keaton Bowler probably had a physical copy which he would of had to play on windows 7 or xp because with windows 10 it crashes and bricks a file in windows 32 folder, trust me its happened about three times now trying to get it working
Idk if anyone will see this but be VERY careful if you want to install this on a modern PC, this game came with Starforce DRM which can fuck your computer up even if you think you've done everything right, and even if you use a legit CD. Your safest bet is to play on a console or emulator or not at all :(
And i thought putting SecuROM on DiRT 2 was the worst thing Codemasters have done...holy shit. I've done a search here and saw both TOCA 2,3 and CMR 2005 have Starforce DRM,but i have them installed on my PC now and nothing happened,guess the cracked version doesn't have problems maybe?
This game does not look like fun at all to me lol. I'm big on customization though, and it doesn't even look like there's a money system to buy and sell cars and parts, which is definitely a deal breaker for me.
I loved playing this back in the day. If you had a PS2 and a PC on the same LAN, you could play cross-platform multiplayer.
WOW, i never knew that..........................try that with grid 2019 ....Mwahahahahaaaaa
there was an edit program, I think it was called iripper, you could alter the files and have any car on ny track, we used to race the f1000's on every surface online. great fun.
Rd3 amazing game.. Amazing fun in Childhood
There's toca3 racers discord server
And running multiplayer via OpenSpy
This game so far ahead of it time I loved it so much
We need ToCA Race Driver 4 (Or a Grid game like this).
buy project cars..its almost the same
i heard a rumor that some of the guys that designed Toca games worked on the first project cars. it really does feel like the unofficial successor of Toca.All it is missing is more classic race cars and rally.
Racedriver Grid 1
hahahaa, have you seen grid 2019............................
We need ToCA Race Driver 4 not 1000000000 ferraris and lamborghinis since the beginning. Kids these days have become too lazy, they want everything unlocked so thats what devs give them.
The only game missing Laguna Seca now would be Mario Kart, Mazda sure gets the advertising.
Mazda will no longer be the official sponsor of Laguna seca
and gt sports
@@genzmaicha And even GT Sport has finally obtained the license for that track

In germany its called:“ DTM Racedriver 3“ Its a game of my childhood xD
Did you unlock dtm from the start?
@@aussieaudir8lms871 Yes.

The game i started with! But man yeah the intro... if you do well.... always something to complain...
First game I used to love playing online till silly hours in the morning and was the first time I used a microphone to speak to others, god I miss it so much.
Toca series at its top in Toca 3, car handeling was amazing with a ffb wheel ,and those wildcats,DTM and F1 cars where the perfect simulator rides back then
Put so many hours in to this and V8 Supercars Race Driver 😍 Awesome review as always mate!
I absolutely love watching your videos even though I haven't played half of the games you review
This one was even better than the 2 previous games, i loved it so much! I wish this serie would make a come back
Erick Gaudreault Grid Autosport?

Really hope to see Toca 4 or Grid Autosport 2, just use the physics engine from F1 series with the same graphics
I loved this game, the content was crazy!
Oh damn gotta turn my ps2 on...
You reviews are so good 😍🔥

DTM: Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft.
Or:“German Touring Car Championship“
Correct is:“Deutschetouranwagenmeisterschaft“
In german you can put Nouns together to form a new word.
*Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft. Is also correct. German is a nice language xD Greetings from Germany. XD
Foxy 1525 Thank you! I am German too UwU
I might learn german
The "new" DTM (2000 onwards) is called Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters.
Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft was the old DTM that was canceled in the 90s.
@@ZuhlJin Ah Thank you^~^ I was not sure, if I wrote the right name.
I just want a game that has the full v8’s calendar and licensing again :(
I want another TOCA game. Especially if they can A: Get the DTM license B: Get the license of forza and do something about it C: Get BTCC and have all 32 cars and D: Get a new license like NASCAR or Super GT =)
Broady Taylor so I got this game when I was 9 and had no clue how to race now I’m 20 home from college for the weekend decided to dust off my ps2 and found it
It will be good to see gt3 aswell
Ah my childhood game, really enjoyed driving the nsx in this game.
could you give Race 07 a review?
you could even maybe even review the expansion pack called GTR evolution
Yesss those games are GOLD!
man I played an obscene amount of V8 Supercars 3 on PS2 back in the day, and now i feel like digging it back up again lol
Good old days when dev's actually produced a FULL game that was fun !
And they still do!
@@someguy8951Some of them do, but it's becoming rarer.
I think this was one of the all-time best in terms of opponent AI, variety, and damage. The online was great too!
This is where I spent the summer of 2006 😂
One of the best games of my childhood! Btw, neither this, nor the GT series is a simulator, stop calling them that! xD
THE MUSIC!! INJECT THE NOSTALGIA
I like to imagine a parallel reality in wich this game is sold in South America as "Stock Car Race Driver 3". This dream would come true in 2014, but that's for another video i suppose
This game was the shit back in Windows XP
The Australian versions were always modded after the V8 Supercars. And they will never be the same again with the downfall of Holden.
Matt Neal just announced a new TOCA (well...BTCC)game on Facebook, don't know if Codies is making it
I still love this game. Forza 7 is collecting dust while I play this because I just keep going back to the Pro Career mode in the touring car discipline.
Watching this reminded me of the original Toca on PS1, damn I played that thing a lot x_x
Too bad we lost codemasters to EA... I think the new grid games are pretty mediocre, I actually felt like coming back to TOCA after playing them.
1:10
Rick: This is you
Spencer: Ah No this is how I actually went around that corner
Look at the top left it starts you off on the final lap Lap 3/3.
I'm not sure if I want to try this game when even Kuru says it's really hard
No, there shouldn‘t be any new cutscenes depending on how you went. Look in the introduction race at the laps, it says 3/3. So Rick was obviously meaning how you took that corner BEFORE you took control. And certainly, if you drove like a maniac, Rick wouldn‘t be too impressed even if you came 1st.

damn that music takes me back...
why didnt you turn pro stimulation on in the settings thats how the game was meant to play not that arcade shit set by default
whoa there mr. hardcore
Did someone say "restart"?
lol
yeah, and it's also pretty annoying that you have to turn it on EVERY SINGLE TIME when you start the game, unlike other less important settings that get saved
i started racing using sim mode then gave up and switch to arcade (too lazy to reactivate it every single time)
The first game I played on the ps2 back in 2007.
yeah nice.. just got it up and running on pc..surprised my xbox one controller worked out the box
Great content bro, i’m in victoria too!
Great video and review! 💯

3:52 "If it was good". Well LJN is on the cover...
I still have my copy. Wouldn't dare install it in windows 10 though. The copy protection is known to destroy anything that's not XP
Love this game!
I used to play it when i was little but i never realized it was a Toca game
noice review is racedriver grid coming up in the future
We really need V8 Supercars 4!
great review!

Honestly we need a supercars 4 or at least a remake.
You really need a decent wheel to enjoy this one
game is playable on a pad/analog
Jesus those Formula 1 physics look terrible though.
Kalvin Filarski it's bc he's on arcade handling
you saw that 200+ kmh at corner
totaly
Its simcade
Love the Review and the game is awsome , make me want to go Play it on my ps2 again =)
Toca 2 or 3 for career mode?
this game is on pc? i wonder if i can download it anywhere or if i have to buy the disc on ebay
There is some torrents etc but see my comment above. Best bet is to get the PS2 version
I liked how you could smash your car to bits and still carry on with bent wheels and a severely dented body.
Lol if you ran your car long enough, it would run out of fuel
6:53 Mandatory V10 ear porn.
Dude I just find out that you're Australian !! That's great ! Where are you from in Australia ?
I would say by the accent he is from either SA or VIc, probably Vic.
codemaster future now is very uncertain, on one hand they got the wrc license, on the other they were bought by EA

0:24 dis is where his rap started
I missed the consitent story line form the first two games. Even they are cringe and not really necessary.
TOCA 3 is the best games out of the three, but the story lines from the first one´s where are a nice little toch. And to be honest they are less cringe then todays storys in racing games.
can you do midnight club 3 dub edition remix
omg this game is amazing, so much variety. Gotta say the dirt oval stuff is kinda wack, sprint cars don't shift lol.
i thought i was the only one that always restart race
How do you download this for pc?
I have it on disc but just cant install it
play it on ps2 emulator
here ya go :) www.myabandonware.com/game/toca-race-driver-3-eoh#download

Sooo many tracks. Eurospeedway Lausitz and many Aussie Tracks Why see these tracks in the new games (?) 😔😔
This was the best, and its 2005 not 2006.
Very well put video I subscribe
Je ne suis pas de cet avis, d'après mes bons vieux souvenirs, je préférais le 2 au 3eme.

Un jeu extra avec en plus de la course , toute une histoire autour , j'ai adoré cette série , hélas de nos jours ce type de jeu n'existe plus.
Why does this game look so grey? It just looks less vibrant compared to the first two games with the lack of color.
I want GRID 3
ok, I can't name one racing game except TOCA RD having that many racing types, but still it can't do any, and I literally mean ANY of those right!!!
The steering is wayyyy too sensitive in PS2
This game does not look like fun at all to me lol. I'm big on customization though, and it doesn't even look like there's a money system to buy and sell cars and parts, which is definitely a deal breaker for me.
one of my favourite games but the story mode wasn’t that great though
When you want to jump to setting the wheel and then driving on track but you have to listen that dumbo.
