Where is Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec set?
2001 video game
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec — 4 real places Wikipedia files it under as its setting, in Japan, Italy, the United States, Monaco. Wikidata records no setting for this game at all, so this is a category rather than a statement, and it is labelled that way below. Where the game takes place, not where it was made: a game is filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Places per Wikipedia — setting categories
Wikipedia’s setting categories list 4 places. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Drawn from these real places
Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this game’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.
