Grand Prix 3 (GP3) is a computer racing simulator by MicroProse. Released in 2000 by Hasbro Interactive featuring the 1998 Formula One season. The game didn't receive great reviews but at the time was widely considered to be the best racing simulation available. Its sequel Grand Prix 4 has since taken that title but its popularity amongst Sim gamers and mod makers has declined since games like F1 Challenge '99-'02 and rFactor, both by Image Space Incorporated, along with Live for Speed and netKar Pro.
An add-on to the game, called GP3-2000 or GP32k,[citation needed] was released by Hasbro which updated the game to the 2000 Formula One season. A few other changes were made as well including: updated damage physics including damage from on-circuit debris, improved AI, a new replay system, and EAX 3D-sound.
Since the release of Grand Prix 4, the GP3 modding scene has slowly declined, and with the cracking of track editing for GP4 many track modders left GP3 for the newer title.[verification needed]
