Other add-ons for GP3

Champ Car Season 2005 from the Smoking Pen is available for both Grand Prix 3 and Grand Prix 3-2000. Please note that all carsets are HARDWARE MODE only - but I've got good results for software versions of most cars using the Create Software option in GP3Edit. There is one Grand Prix 3 carset for the season, featuring the better finishing car of each team or pairing, and the GP3-2000 set features all of the cars.

With only 19 cars racing in ChampCar in 2005, I added three extra cars, making the one-off entry by Jensen Motorsports at Long Beach into a full season two-car team, with the second driver being Memo Gidley, whilst I've again added an 11th team for IRL refugees Hemelgarn, featuring Paul Dana & Jimmy Kite.

The Grand Prix 3 carset requires GP3Edit to install. The GP3-2000 carset will unzip into your Grand Prix 3 Season 2000 folder and create it's own folders, whilst the GP3-2000 team art requires Marc Aarts' Art Tool to install. To run properly, the Grand Prix 3-2000 set requires gpxpatch 2.21 or higher.

Rather than produce livery updates for each race, (which would have taken more time than I had or still have), I produced a livery for each driver, chosen by their best finish. For example, Bruno Junquiera's's livery is for the race he won at Monterrey, whereas in the GP3-2000 set, Oriel Servia's Newman Haas livery is for the race he won at Montreal. The Grand Prix 3 set features the "winningest" car livery of each driver pairing, so in both sets, it's Bassie's Long Beach livery for Newman Haas.
