Grand Prix 3 2000 Season Addon Released By Perfect Grand Prix

Perfect Grand Prix are addons for the Geoff Crammond Formula One titles that are sold commercially. While it is possible to download mods to do this for free online, not everyone has the internet and obviously this is useful for them. Anyway, if this doesn’t make a mockery of Microprose, eh? How can a bunch of modders or Perfect Grand Prix themselves get a boxed product out to market not only before MicroProse can release (and subsequently cancel) the 1999 season addon, but they can also get it out before a 2000 season addon officially releases as well.

When the official addon for GP3 does come along it’s going to have to be something really special, or retail for a very small price, to not make people feel ripped off.

The PGP addon adds Indianapolis and Malaysia tracks, updates Monza and obviously includes the 2000 drivers and teams.

Press release:

Perfect Grand Prix GET UNDER THE BONNET OF GP3
New unofficial add-on for Grand Prix 3 allows for complete customisation of the hit motor racing simulation.

15 December 2000 – All serious Formula One fans can now get more BHP out of Grand Prix 3 by tuning up and tweaking their settings with Perfect Grand Prix, the only expansion pack available for MicroProse’s massive PC CD-ROM hit. This unofficial add-on is out now from The Mavericks.

Developed by Instant Access, Perfect Grand Prix introduces a number of new features to the game which PC Gamer described as “.a rare landmark event.a masterpiece” in its 95 per cent review (September 2000 edition). Real fans will not want to be without these additions, not least of which is the inclusion of the three real-life circuits which were added to the F1 tour for the 2000 season: an updated Monza (complete with its new chicane), Sepang and Indianapolis.

The amazing success enjoyed by Instant Access’ previous update to Grand Prix 2 – which sold in excess of a quarter of a million copies – is a clear indication that Grand Prix fans are keen to get their hands on anything which will enhance their F1 experience on an on-going basis.

Other indispensable embellishments which will add to GP3’s already-awesome air of authenticity include the ability to modify all teams to include their updated liveries and driver details and to update all circuit statistics to include figures from the 2000 season.

For digital drivers who need a little help – or for those rare individuals who would like more of a challenge from GP3 – Perfect Grand Prix’s innovative ‘Race Editor’ enables users to tinker with almost every parameter, either making things that little bit easier or supplying the most taxing racing conditions yet seen in a game.

There is also an option to reset all track records to three minutes and the facility to save records on a session-by-session basis, and not just the results of a full race.

Perfect Grand Prix offers owners of Grand Prix 3 the ability to take this astonishing game beyond its already-legendary status and will allow fans a unique opportunity to keep their favourite F1 simulation updated throughout the 2001 season and beyond.

Perfect Grand Prix is available now, priced at £14.99. For further information, visit the dedicated website at www.perfectgp.com.
