Optimize your Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec gearing for maximum top speed by adjusting gear ratios. Learn how to hit redline just before turns.
Walkthrough
- 1If your sole focus is top speed, increase all gear ratios.
- 2Begin with an overall gear set of approximately 32, depending on your car's horsepower-to-kilogram (hp/kg) ratio.
- 3Test drive on a straight section, like the test track.
- 4If you do not reach the redline (the maximum engine speed) in 6th gear before you must turn, lower the total gear set by 1 level at a time.
- 5If you hit the rev limiter (the engine's maximum safe speed), raise the overall gear set by 1 level at a time until you no longer hit it.
- 6Continue this process until you are just barely missing the rev limiter in each straight. This provides the best possible gearing for top speed with your car's current setup.
Tips
- Setting the gears any lower than optimal will cause you to hit the rev limiter too early.
- Setting the gears any higher than optimal will reduce your acceleration up to speed.
