So NetZ Altezza cup was supposed to be in the game at one point?
If that's the case then would the race mod Altezza supposed to be in the game in the first place? I'm referring to this car though.

Isn't that probably just early text for the Altezza Race? And what is that "RY!" seen in the image?
Probably it's an incompleted ENTRY! word. About that there was a GT3 demo that is dedicated to NetZ and most of the cars there are only Toyota cars.
 
Interesting that on the FF Challenge image, logos for Gran Turismo League and Special Events can be seen. Maybe the events were sorted different in the beta? And another possiblility, maybe the National events from GT2 were going to return?
 
Other errors I noticed:

-On the Evolution Meeting it has a picture of a Skyline
-On the MR Challenge it has a picture of an Altezza, which is FR

Some other early menus I would be interested to see are the ones in the Rally Events and Endurance Races. Mostly these:

Rally Events:

-Smokey Mountain and Swiss Alps (in the beta were Smokey Mountain North & South, interested to see if they still called this in the menu images)
-Tahiti Circuit (called Tahiti Dirt Route 3 in the beta, same as above)
-Special Stage Route 5 Wet (Want to know if Route 5 had a rally race in the beta)

Endurance Races:

-Roadster Endurance (at Apricot Hill, final version shows newer Apricot Hill image, wonder if this one shows older image)
-Special Stage Route 11 (Want to know if it used older layout at this stage, plus if it was called Route 11 All-Night in the beta like in GT1)
-Grand Valley 300 KM (final version uses newer Grand Valley in the background, I wonder if this one used the older GT1/2 based Grand Valley)

Plus, I'd like to see some beta menus:

-Sim Mode main menu (to see if it matches with the image I have in my GT3 manual which I showed on the previous page)
-My Home menu
-Tune Shop Menu
-License Center menu
-GT Auto menu
-Machine Test menu
 
Looks like there were going to be motorcycles after all. I mean, the motorcycle file we found and the image on the K-Cup...
Also, I'm very curious about the car on Clubman Cup... The text reads:

"For you amateur racers who have been getting a little confidence at driving your car. We currently accept your application."

The image on the K-Cup was a motorcycle? I couldn't tell what it was at first. As for the car on the Clubman Cup, I think it's supposed to be just a generic old race car not used in the game at all.
 
Kei cars generally have bike engines, albeit it still makes no sense.
Is there a bike race that was cut during testing of GT3? If the race files are still there, and the logo of the bike, it should in theory have its own prize & background image, with the price of the model, which should be somewhere located in the bike data.

Well we DID find a motorbike lurking in the game files. But it had no model.
 
according to 7z the bike folder contains:
bikeman_e3.bin
bike_test0.mdl
cbr600f4i_01_pdiver.mdl
front_tire.mdl
man.mdl
man1.mdl
man2.mdl
man3.mdl
man4.mdl
man_shadow.mdl
rear_tire.mdl
yzr500_99_antena3.mdl

it's a Yamaha YZR500 1999 Antena 3!

also can i use 7z to view the "s4_00" etc. in gt3?

Allow me to resurface this by the way. Sorry for the double post. There are two bikes, this Yamaha and a Honda CBR600.
 
Here is the secret "Alfa-Romeo 156 Race Car", in the GT4 event screen "Real Circuit Tours"

Video of the car by GTPXenn:

Hinting that probably that event was going to be in GT3 aswell (I don't remember such an event in GT3, didn't play it since long time) or that the Alfa-Romeo 156 Race Car could have return in GT4
