Even if this isn't your type of music, you can't not appreciate the effort and unmatched dedication to their craft that Polyphony Digital, and Japanese developers in general, apply to their video game soundtracks.
yeh Summer 2001 memories before September 9/11 changed our world so much, it came out on July 10 that summer before my 6th grade school year...there was so many great games to play on Dreamcast and PS2 and PC. GameCube didn't come out yet until November after 9/11
there is no reason for the main menu music to go this crazy hard but they did it anyways and i appreciate it. the fact that this is the first thing you hear when you open arcade mode is literally the greatest thing of all time
Used to play this as a kid, always liked the music. I grew up to love Japanese fusion bands, and after coming back to this soundtrack after all these years, it's absolutely blowing me away. So timeless.
Mannnnnn, I feel so nostalgic of this music. My older brother and his older cousin would play GT3 non-stop when O was 5, theyd constantly bet each other for every win, I remember me cheering on my brother to win, theyd be evenly matched. There was this one time my brother handed me the controller because I kept dissing him for being so slow, I didnt even know how to execute a turn without hitting a wall, I was so embarassed. Im 21 now, of course, my racing skills have improved, but not only that, ive also began to embrace my love for automobiles, maybe this is the game that started it all for me

I loved the vibes of the GT and Ridge Racer games. This one has an upbeat jazzy sound, and RR has that smooth liquid drum&bass. Both just free your soul and make it easier to focus.
A lot of nostalgia with this song. Playing Playstation together at my older cousins house. We since lost touch with each other. We were recently informed that he has passed away (suicide). I try to think back to the happier and simpler times from when we were younger. He was a major spark in my interest in modifying cars and racing. I appreciate all these times he spent with me. Mental health is SO IMPORTANT. Don't be afraid to get help from a professional. It's not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of STRENGTH. Even if you don't feel it, you mean something to someone. You helped form memories with someone who cherishes them. You matter, and so do your feelings. ❤️
All that afternoon, 2003. I was playing GT3, switching to motorsport tv to watch real race then going with my electric RC car, a 911 porsche gt1 98 LM from Tamya. Taking my bicycle to go to the race track and enjoy racing track days... It took me 2 hours go and back... All that i did i was 11 years old. Man i didn't know what fucked up after that. Life was so simple back then
Man does this remind me of my childhood. It’s really hard to find sick music like this in other racing games. Games back then didn’t need graphics, it was about gameplay and great music. However gt3 had great graphics.
Used to play GT3 at my friends place on his PS2 back in the day. Memories coming back. We always used to duke it out in the Viper and Corvette GT cars. And the Panoz Esperante GT1...who could forget that?
These first 3 games made my childhood and fueld my obsession with cars. I remember playing GT4 and being disappointed, then in 2010 I found out about Forza 4 and it changed my perspective on the racing game genre.
This was part of my nostalgia right here. Wow, how I always wanted to listen to this funky organy tune again. Somehow I always associated this tune with the desert race track in be game.
I remember first starting this game. I went to arcade mode. First car to drive, Corvette C5R. I used to get so desperate to beat the Pagani, Nissan, and the Toyota because they were so op between it and any other S class that appeared. Finally start beating them and then the 787B appeared. No amount of of practice was getting that Corvette or Dodge past that Mazda. Especially when it came to special stage route 11. I really wanted to see all these tracks in the later games.
This song brings back so many memories of my childhood playing GT3 Arcade mode with my dad and me always cheating as my dad would ask me to choose his car. I’d always choose a race car for me and something slow for him 😂
It's honestly so hard to decide which I like more, this, or GT4's arcade theme. I guess I'll have to pick GT4 solely for the fact that I heard that one first and it's been stuck in my head for almost two decades.
Going from dealership to dealership looking at the different car references with this song in the background made me feel like a billionaire tycoon determining which car I would take for a ride.
Up until about the late 90s, Nobody had ever heard of jazz fusion in the western world. Gran Turismo gave the western world a taste of what Japan had to offer.

If you went out of your way to search this, I respect you.
This game was my childhood.
I just saved the playlist 😃
I appreciate the respect
I've had this stuck in my head for weeks.
i searched for the gt2 menu music 😒
Kid on a mono tv speaker : that song is so cool, the melody
Now with a proper sound system : the bass line omg !
Me with every song ever
That bass line is really somthing.
Really, i mean i dont know much song to match that bass writing
@@sh0bohoso280 Ill be posting a drum and bass cover to this song soon :) I'll be doing a slap bass version

I always found the Gran Turismo soundtracks to be very classy but energizing at the same time.
You can see the transition from the earlier games; going from a more energy fueled track to a more classical/jazz feel.
Then it kinda died down after 4. Haven't liked a Gran Turismo OST since 4. (2 and 3 being the best)
@@nightshadow848 i mean gt5 have an nice soundtrack with lounge music...
@@sk4iv3r10 yes. But nowhere close to GT2 and 3 songs tho.

The caliber of musical composition that they put into this soundtrack still amazes me to this day.
Man said 'the caliber' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Are you wrong, though? 🤔
@@TMSokoya hell no
I love the chill-funky guitar playing throughout the song. I love the piano sounds as well.
Kaido Alex it sounds very japan jazz fusion-y
old memories
you mean the bass?

Funky bass too
This song will always feel like the start of a new beginning for the GT franchise. PS2 was just released back then and it blew our mind.
I remember my brother getting the ps2 bundle for his birthday with sly Cooper, gran turismo 3 and some other ps2 games. I remember how chill this game music was. Makes me want to play this gem again

Facts
I remember Summer 2004 my cousin spent the summer with me and we played Gran Turismo 3 almost every day to get all the cars. Great times!
Same dude. I played this all throughout 2003
we got it after it had already hit Greatest Hits but dang if I don't have like 3 copies of this game.

this is peak energising Japanese fusion jazz, love it
“You’ve just won the most luxurious car of the 80s!” Showman voice with the music.
Reminds me of a much simpler time RIP to my brother who showed me this amazing racing game
Always thought the boxart of this game was the roof of some prototype race car.
....It’s literally just a headlight.
Probably healights of RUF 3400S or RUF RGT
@@Mx64MaxyImpress So basically I was still right! It was a “Roof”
I thought it was a piston
O_O
it's a 996 headlight. weird
I just randomly thought of this and couldn't get it out of my head so noe I'm here. Been so many years since I played GT3...
You should pick it up again. If not on original hardware, then on an emulator
Same

How to tear me up from nostalgia: Play this song.
Used to play this as a kid, always liked the music. I grew up to love Japanese fusion bands, and after coming back to this soundtrack after all these years, it's absolutely blowing me away. So timeless.
I wanna get into the genre. Any suggestions?
@@RazerBoy12 Check out Brand X Moroccan Roll, not Japanese but it's a great fusion album. You may recognise the drummer.
stan loona
@RazerBoy12 Not exactly Japanese, but same style, try Down To The Bone, great band with very similar styled instruments.
"What do you mean I can't wall ride in time trial mode?"
Wall riding in TT mode will IMMEDIATELY disqualify you.

just the first slap bass and drum hit is enough to make me smile
Out of the two times I popped this into my dad's PS2 instead of most wanted, this is the one song I remember.
I remember just staring at the screen while the preview of the races play and seeing the dirt road one.
Man does this remind me of my childhood. It’s really hard to find sick music like this in other racing games. Games back then didn’t need graphics, it was about gameplay and great music. However gt3 had great graphics.
Oh, beautiful memories
My generation’s childhood right here
These boys went unnecessarily hard for a racing game and that is why they should be immortalized
I literally just realized that the cover art is a picture of a 996 headlight that is upside down. 😯
After like 22 years finally, ruf porsche doesnr exust i think
Très subtil
Everyone gansta until arcade mode is selected.
I remember listening to this music when playing GT 3. I give this song a 11 out of 10
Used to play GT3 at my friends place on his PS2 back in the day. Memories coming back.

Used to play this on my old PS2 when I was 6 - 8 yrld. Now i'm 17 everything feels different. Nice Hiroshi Nagai prof picture btw

This theme is my childhood right here... 💔
this right here is my childhood. damn the soundtrack is so good and sends chills down my spine.
I still play this and the music is great 👍
Lucario you are the luckiest guy :(

Nostalgiaaaa, I remember being like 5 playing this bruhhh, never forgot the theme
Me and my bro completing 100 laps with fully upgraded Suzuki escudo
I love that DarkViperAU uses Gran Turismo music in the background of his Geoguesser videos. Brings up some great memories.
Everyone rightly praises the music, but can we talk about how its track selection first before car selection?
This was part of my nostalgia right here. Wow, how I always wanted to listen to this funky organy tune again. Somehow I always associated this tune with the desert race track in be game.
2003... 21 years later, still a banger ❤
Outstanding track, the composition is absolutely amazing and the solos are great. Has a lot of personality. The basslines are specially phenomenal.
Thank you, man! This is pure quality! And so are you!
This game made me fall in love with the Acura NSX as a kid . Now I'm a Mopar head that loves muscle! Good times
The very first bass note tells me how slapping this music is.

Slipstream and light velocity are by far my two favourite OST’s from GT3. I would sit on the game for hours just listening to the music sometimes
Between 1:46 and 2:16 is my favourite bit, idk why I just find it a complete masterpiece of music!!
Miss those childhood times...
This makes me so happy and brings back so many great memories. Racing the shit outta my roomies freshman year college dorm
Going from dealership to dealership looking at the different car references with this song in the background made me feel like a billionaire tycoon determining which car I would take for a ride.
