Damnit, I should have practiced before launching this career. I keep crashing everywhere. I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO BECOME A MALDONADO SHOW, DAMNIT!
I guess this means that this career mode is over only to be fresh-started another day. I need some practice before doing any more of these.

Trash this, if you want.

Sincere apologies for inconvenience.

With spins mostly. I play on a keyboard, though, so it's hard to keep the pace with the AI without any fault.
Just got to Monaco today with this career, though, qualified in 9TH, but kept striking to the wall all the time and even crashed out Mansell. I just couldn't continue after this, it's as if my driver's seat got removed and I got banned from FIA for reckless driving. Was fun doing this either way, so after some nice practice in this game, I will 100% give this another shot from scratch!

GP3 works just fine on my Windows 7, though.

how long have you played this game?

sure i used to crash aswell but its quite easy, its extremly fun to fight with an underpowered car for thoose single points then go for wins all the time
One of my more heartbreaking races i ever did was in a Forti in the 96 season, raced at Magny Cours had terrible unreliability all season long, at Magny Cours i seemed to have a working car i passed the 20-30 laps with ease fought my way up to 4th, was keeping a steady gap to Schumacher in 3rd, he retires on lap 62 i move up to 3rd got some 30sec down to Hakkinen i was so focused on finishing this race that i was all sweaty and exhausted, then on lap 69....3 laps from the end....out of the lefthander before sector 2 time check the transmission says goodbye....i didnt play for weeks after that hahaha

Keep practising, you can improve, continue the career and keep us updated!

Cheers, dude!
Damn, Forti would literally retire every single race though. I'd be surprised if you finished any race with that, lol :P
I'm not much of a veteran at all of GP3 or GP3-2000, first time I played these games in about 2012 I think, but started driving without auto gear and auto brakes, pretty much every driving aid off except Throttle only since 2016. And I still don't know half of the tracks, so no wonder I was struggling so much in this career.

Also, I just stumbled upon this ->

I managed to finish a handful of races scored a point or 2 if i remember correct

ahhh, i c you are kind of a rookie then i have played these games since they were released some 15-17 years ago haha.
Imola and Nurburgring is probably the 2 easiest tracks to win at if you have a descent car, top car you easily won by atleast a lap

yeah i have tried that, sure the PO is down from the 900%+ to around 150 so its still undrivable sadly

Hmm... I always struggle to be fast in Imola out of any of the tracks I've learned very well so far, I've learned Australia, Brazil, Argentina, San Marino, Malaysia, Spain, Monaco and Canada, and Imola is the only track where I fail to be even close to my opponents... Maybe my car setup is wrong? Or maybe it's just the driver performance of 16000 that causes some kind of issue on steering/barking or something? I haven't quite figured that out...
Trying to learn France and Great Britain tracks atm, though

on most tracks the same wing setup works, just the gear ratio that needs altering.
Despite playing these games since F1GP was released in the early 90´s and GP2 in 96, i never got around to learn to fiddle with the dampers and stuff hehe..I just go for wings, break balance and gear ratio´s
