What's the strangest things you've notice while racing. Here's a few of mind.

Grand Valley Speedway and Apricot Hill Speedway have billboards that change every 5 seconds.

Special Stage Route 11 just before going into the tunnel there's a building over the overpass. The lights in the building, if you look close, is a picture of Betty Boop.(ha-ha).

Grand Valley Speedway is the only track that has a track map on the course(actually there's two).

Seattle Circuit has 3 sets of train track. One in turn one, the other two are after the long back stretch :confused: .

What do you see?
 
Strange thing I noticed, you left out the "E" in "STRANGE" in your thread subject.
 
Nice observations. I'm always too busy looking at the track to sight see. Maybe I'll start stopping to smell the roses once in a while.
 
Even in a tight race, I look up and laugh every time I pass the 'monkey'. :p
 
One of the best things in the game (in my opinion) is the monkey. He's also a cool monkey because he's the only monkey i know that watches races.
 
the monkey rules all
 
:confused:

OK What monkey? I have got to know. Please, somebody has got to tell me where that darn monkey is. I need to see the little creature. HELP.
 
Trial Mountain

Do a search for "monkey" and you will find the exact location including screen shots of the beast. :magnify:
 
The monkey is on Trial Mountain ( not Trial Mountain II, its there but its just hard to see). Its in the first part of the track there are a few turns with bluish-gray rock walls. I can't remeber exactly where it is but if you look up you will see a dead branch that goes about a quarter way in to the track on the branch is a monkey that just sits there.

I hope that helped.
 
The track is Trial Mountain.
It's in the part between the tunnels, in the rocky section.
The monkey sits in a branch that hangs over the track.
 
i don't reccomend doing a search on it cause all of the pics i got were from early demos of the game and the track and turns look completely different. It's to hard to find that way
 
Okay, I just had one mess with me a little:

Lap 45 of the Special Stage R11 Endurance race at around 74 1/2 minutes (total time) a message came up on the screen in green like your sector times come up that said "Replay Save Completed" or something very similar.

I assume it means that there would be, should I choose to watch it, no replay information after that point on lap 45. But then I got to thinking... what if GT3 keeps running backups of extra long replay information so your system's memory resources don't get taxed, affecting performance of the game? I figure with the HDD this may become a common feature.
 
yeah, the monkey is always there to help relieve stress during races.
