Ford Racing 3 is a racing video game developed by Razorworks and Visual Impact and published by 2K Games, Empire Interactive and Zoo Digital Publishing, with the music composed by Tim Follin. It was released in late 2004, 2005, and 2006, and published for the PC, Xbox, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. Ford Racing 3 includes 55 different types of Ford vehicles that are available to race with 26 different tracks (12 of them are only Off-Road).[1] It is the successor to Ford Racing 2. A spin-off game was made by Sega called Ford Racing: Full Blown, with the same cars, music and tracks for arcade.

Cars

Ford Racing 3 features 55 different ford vehicles (25 new ford vehicles, 30 already from Ford Racing 2) categorized into 5 different racing groups: Vintage, Classic, Performance, Modern and Off-Road. In each profile, at the start will be 1 car for Classic (1968 Ford Mustang, Off-Road (1998 Ford F-150 4x4) and Performance (2005 Air Force Reserve Ford Focus) and 2 starting for Modern (2002 Ford Crown Victoria and 1999 Ford Racing Puma). Other cars will needed to be unlocked in Ford Challenges or Ford Competitions.

The game also features the two first Ford cars made; the 1923 Ford Model T Sedan and the 1931 Ford Model A Roadster. There were some cars that were added in later versions such as the 2005 Ford GT Concept and the 2005 Ford Mustang.

Racetracks

The game has 26 different tracks in five categories. Each category has three original tracks and a reverse version of each track, except for raceways which only has "Oval" and "Racetrack" (a longer version of "Oval"), and no reverse track. The Pacific Drive and Arctic Breeze tracks can only have off-road type cars allowed to race.

Troubleshooting

In some Ford Racing 3 discs, there are some complications with the original model of the PlayStation 2. The surface with the label is rather bumpy with paint rather than being smooth like other video games leading the video game console to say "Disc Read Error".
