POINT and SQUIRT - High Performance Small Cars
Circuits and Tracks in Gran Turismo 3

A racing game is only going to be a long-lived challenge if the circuits on offer are excellent. Thankfully, in Gran Turismo 3 they are. The number of circuits has been reduced since Gran Turismo 2, but the ones that are included offer a considerable variety and a challenge that take many attempts to master.

The circuits fit into three categories... race, city and rally. The race tracks are a mixture of real circuits and fictional locations, the city circuits show off models of real city locations, and the rally tracks are designed to allow for copious amounts of oversteer and four wheel drift.

In keeping with the general theme of PS2 games, the circuits all look wonderful and bring a new level of realism to the Gran Turismo series. The visual effects are shown off during replays with camera angles capturing sun flares, reflections and headlight glare.
