If you just bought the game and installed it you have most likely ver. 1.00. "Grand Prix 3 seaon 2000 Update" is a game for itself that comes in a seperate box.
To get ver. 1.13 you must install the "Grand Prix 3 Patch v1.13" that you can find at [
grandprix3.com].
I would also recommend to use the "Decrypted GP3 V 1.13 No CD Patch" , to be found on the same page.
1.13 does remove a few bugs, adds better controller support and the "decrypted exe" lets you use GPxPatch, which is really a MUST if you want to have TV-like atmosphere.
Updating might help to remove your problems.
As for video drivers: I recommend for the use with nvidea chips (like TNT or gforce) the detonator 3 ver.6.31, ver.6.50 or 12.41. I know they work well with GP3. Be sure to use the right version for your OS (Win9x or XP or whatever)
You might also want to update your DirectX version from Dx7 to Dx8.
WTF is that?
