User:Guillejarque/Sandbox: The way of a Legend

So, this is a guide of how to complete Legend. Legend it's the hardest career on Real Racing 3, as most of the cars can only be purchased with lots of gold. There's a Legend around this wiki that someone has complete the game without paying any real money. Then he/she is a '''Legend. A Legend'''ary driver.

This is how it will work: CUP= Cup
 * Everyday I will write a little text where I will show up my situation: tiers completed on that day, cars used, upgrades, tactics...
 * Then, what to do and how to drive when your car needs servicing.
 * And, finally, what I do have at the end of the day: tiers completed, cars servicing, planning for the next day...

SPS= Speed Snap

ELI= Elimination

SPR= Speed Record

TTR= Time Trial

HUN= Hunter

DRR= Drag Race

AUT=Autocross

END=Endurance

H2H= Head to Head

28th September 2015, Monday
Today is the last day you can enter FAP400, yes. I won all 4 cars and earned some great 200 gold. Maybe we can just do some expensive upgrades with that gold. But, let's talk about Legend. I'm in Supercar Elites. 0% done. Bought Porsche 918 Spyder Concept and Koenigsegg CCXR. None of them is upgraded. As said, I start the day with: Goals that I completed:
 * 4,661,417 R$


 * 1,701 Gold Coins
 * 1.1 H2H in Brands Hatch. Koenigsegg CCXR Just get a feeling with the car, and don't win by too much margin. Try to make a clean race so you can have the car more time with good conditions. Notice this car's service takes 4 hours and 35 minutes, so you have to get used to drive with a broken car. Now comes a difficult choice. 3 laps: Spa or Mount Panorama?
 * 1.3 CUP in Mount Panorama. Koenigsegg CCXR. We know the car well, so we have to try it at those endless straights of Bathurst. My highest top speed was 361 kph, even though I didn't brake because I had an advantage of 2 km over the second car. Now I have a broken car, and race to win in Spa. Let's go for it. But it's too late. See you tomorrow!
 * We ended with 4,692,162 R$ and 1,701 GC. It's been fantastic to drive this kind of technology, even though the brakes were manufactured at the North Pole. Great day. 4% completed

29th September 2015, Tuesday
Goals that I completed: The game just crashed and all this progress was lost. But tomorrow I'll do them again and some more, too.
 * 4,692,162 R$
 * 1,701 Gold Coins
 * 1) 1.2 CUP in Spa. Koenigsegg CCXR. My glitched tablet doesn't seem to allow these kind of races. I use Tilt B since The 500, and I lose the power every times I come off a corner. However, get 1st place wasn't too difficult. My top speed made me won position in Eau Rouge and Radillon. Les Combes and Pouhon were the turns where I could overtake the first cars. Then the race was full of good driving and great laps. Obviously, I needed to service the car after the race.
 * 2) 2.1 SPS in Spa. Koenigsegg CCXR. Very easy, even though with a fully-broken car.
 * 3) 2.2 END in Hockenheimring National. Koenigsegg CCXR. The 1st bot drove 9.8 km - easy. Manage the braking points in such a technical circuit as Hockenheim was very difficult. In Turn 1, for example, you could just go wide, off-track, and lose time. There's always a chance to take shortcuts, but they make you lose distance. 9.99 km, a challenging race.
 * 4) 3.1 CUP in Laguna Seca. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. The sand just makes your car damage more, so the trick is avoid it everytime is possible. I could win without touching the sand, but as my bots were so slow, I just smashed on their back so I had a bit of damage in my front part.

30th September 2015, Wednesday
I decided to do the daily blog in a sandbox format because sandboxes work with the new editor and blog posts do it with the old one. 4 trophies left to unlock the Pagani Huayra So, we finish the 3rd day with:
 * 1)  6.3 SPS in Laguna Seca. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. Very easy. No comments.
 * 2)  5.1 ELI in Melbourne. Koenigsegg CCXR. The car's conditions weren't the best ones to drive around Melbourne. Horrible brakes and skiddy grip. The assists I am used to use allowed long skids (braking OFF, TC OFF, steering LOW)but tricky corners.
 * 4,798,357 R$
 * 1,701 Gold
 * 2 trophies left to unlock the Pagani Huayra.

1st October 2015, Thursday
We have new daily rewards, with 10 less gold than September. Anyway, 10 gold are nothing in a game you have to go forward all the time. It's becoming interesting, although there may not be any people following it, because we're getting into Supercar Elites, and your car needs upgrading. Let's go to the goals completed today.
 * 1) 6.2 SPR in Indianapolis. Koenigsegg CCXR. The bots just couldn't reach such a high top speed with such an ungripy car. I think 355 kph was fairly enough to win the event.
 * 2) 5.2 H2H in Mount Panorama. Koenigsegg CCXR. 350 kph in the downhill straight without going wide. Clear lap, 2.06.335.
 * 3) 5.3 CUP in Suzuka West. Koenigsegg CCXR. Great race, fought hard with _thefreak_, uhtil Moises Gabby span him off the track in the last corner. It was funny to just have some battle against a bot, even though finally it was a fotofinish; I tried to win by a little margin but the margin became 2 tenths.
 * 4) 7.1 H2H in Spa. Koenigsegg CCXR. My fully-broken car didn't have its best day around Spa. In fact, the braking was the great problem: Le Source, Les Combes, Bus Stop... So many turns where I had some trouble with the braking system. As I'm not going to upgrade it, I just don't care if the car is damaged, if I still can win those races, then it's right to keep it unserviced. Easy, because I slowed down the bot. 25% reward given.
 * 5) 7.3 CUP in Silverstone International. Koenigsegg CCXR. The first 6 drivers were place into a 6-second gap. I just got 4th in Stowe, during the last lap, because I made a few mistakes and some cars overtook me on the straight. Luckily, Bronson Guthry got stopped because a lapped bot was in his way! Luck.
 * 6) 7.2 CUP in Hockenheim GP. Koenigsegg CCXR. I just want to still using this car, I'll need to service it at the end anyway. 4.51.777. Something's hidden and I just don't see it.Oops, yes, we have a car that should've been chosen for this race. It's the other Porsche. Bah, it's still there if we want to drive it.
 * 7) 10.1 ELI in Laguna Seca. Koenigsegg CCXR. The perfect race to drive when you're in a dry lake. The Cornscrew was impossible with this car. Coincidentally, I just won in the Cornscrew of the 2nd lap, without braking. What a crazy race!

We just have unlocked the Pagani Huayra!
With the 20% off, it costs 1,086,400 R$. I have almost 5 milions of R$, so I'll purchase it. Now wait patiently 20 hours until I can drive with the car. And here comes the strategy:
 * Fully-Upgrade the Pagani with R$, so we will get until 75, which will allow us to unlock the Koenigsegg Agera.
 * When we have bought the Koenigsegg Agera, upgrade Level 1 and Level 2, except Engine and Body.

2nd October 2015, Friday
It's been a pretty difficult day. Here are the goals and the actual situation: I think this has been enough. We finish the day with:
 * 1) 4.1 TTR in Dubai International. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. Let's try to beat some time of someone known around the wiki. Well. LussoBerlinetta has 3.33.309. Of course I want some competitive time. Michael P, 4th in my friends list, here we go. 1.18.335 is his time. His care is upgraded and mine's not. Great lap, Michael, the split was +5 seconds!!! 1.23.382. Not my best lap, but even in my best lap I could beat Michael.
 * 2) 11.1 END in Silverstone GP. Koenigsegg CCXR. 13.5 km is a good distance. 2 laps and a half, challenging with my broken car. On time, did it. Difficult but done.
 * 3) 12.1 H2H in Silverstone National. Koenigsegg CCXR. thefreak is the bot to beat. 3 laps. Pagani against Koenigsegg. I let him some advantage seconds so the race is challenging. Strangely, he/she goes slow and I can beat them easily.
 * 4) 12.3 ELI in Brands Hatch. Koenigsegg CCXR. I'll never get tired of that car. You just drive it again and again and again, and it's just the same, but each time the car adapts differently to the circuit. All overtakes on first and second turn. Easy. Then keep the lead. Have fun.
 * 5) 13.1 CUP in Hockenheim Short. Koenigsegg CCXR. Awesome. For the first time I had to fight hardly to win a position, the lead. From second to fifth lap, the first car went further and further, had better top speed and braking, so I had to drive differently, braking off-track, taking shortcuts and all kind of trajectories to drive fast.
 * 6) 15.1 ELI in Melbourne. Koenigsegg CCXR. Fought even harder as bots came out of nowhere with an incredible top speed. But won.
 * 3,537,382 R$
 * 1,710 Gold
 * 24% of overall completion on Legend.

3rd October 2015, Saturday
Apparently, today is the day we should unlock the top-speed beast Koenigsegg Agera, as we need 5 more trophies to unlock it. Let's go with the goals.
 * 1) 11.2 DRR in Suzuka. Koenigsegg CCXR. It doesn't matter where the drag races take place at, because all the time you have to complete 400 m as fast as you can.
 * 2) 16.3 SPS in Silverstone National. Koenigsegg CCXR. Very easy. This top speed can do magical things! Like the 50% completion reward we just received!
 * 3) 16.1 AUT in Hockenheim Short. Koenigsegg CCXR. Easy again. With this top speed, it all is easy. The cornering is challenging and that's what it makes this car interesting.
 * 4) 17.3 ELI in Brands Hatch. Koenigsegg CCXR. Easy. Some funny overtakes, around Corner 3, but nothing more. It's kinda boring.
 * 5) 17.2 H2H in Silverstone Bridge. Koenigsegg CCXR. Richie Rich with a Porsche will get Poorie Poor with a horrible time. 3.20.724. How? The circuit is not that long. Of course, now the car needs servicing.
 * 6) 8.1 H2H in Suzuka East. Pagani Huayra. The bot was slow so I could complete it without any difficulty.
 * 7) 10.3 CUP in IMS Speedway. Pagani Huayra. 5 laps look such a good distance for such poweful cars. I have upgraded my Pagani until Level 1. They have the top speed, I have the grip. Coincidentally, the second car is an Agera which brakes so much on the turns, and the first is a Huayra which never lets itself down. It is being impossible to reach it. I have reached it, and even being a side~by~side I have to let it the interior. Finally, I could win with a gap of 0.01 seconds. The closest end ever. And I got the Level 103 reward, too. 25 gold.
 * 8) 10.2 CUP in IMS Road Course. Pagani Huayra. Even a broken car can win here. It just goes into the fact that walls are so far from cars. And you can take shortcuts. It was easy.
 * 9) 12.2 CUP in Silverstone GP. Pagani Huayra. A move on the last turn saved me from a horrible race. Thank God I won.

We just have unlocked the Koenigsegg Agera!
1,768,400 R$ for it. Incredible top speed. Good acceleration. OK brakes. Good grip. Bought. Now I think the upgrades in the Huayra aren`t worth it. The upgrades are being so expensive, but I want to complete Supercar Elites anyway.

This has been the 6th day of this big adventure. We spent lots of money today, but we got some nice 38 Gold:
 * 1,210,792 R$
 * 1,748 Gold
 * 66% of Completion in Supercar Elites.
 * 5 trophies left to unlock Spirit of Ferrari.
 * 25% of Legend overall

4th October 2015, Sunday
Today, I bet we'll have some money problems. Those are the goals I completed: Today was a busy day, lots of racing, and, I just have something to say.
 * 1) 9.1. TTR in Suzuka GP. Pagani Huayra. I just can't forget Jules Bianchi when I pass over 130R. #JB17
 * 2) 17.1 DRR in Suzuka GP. Koenigsegg Agera. The top speed can do it all. Incredible.
 * 3) 20.1 ELI in Hockenheim GP. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. -100 kph in the straights, +100 kph in the turns. Hockenheim is a circuit created to shout out "grip and braking are better than top speed".
 * 4) 21.2 H2H in Melbourne. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. vs. Koenigsegg CCXR, driven by Sparx. The mix between top speed and braking from the Koenigsegg it's just impossible. He has to brake earlier and I have to brake later, so when I am close to him I have to apart aside him to not crash. Finally, I dive-in move saves me from the total chaos. It's just when you're driving in Formula 1 and a car you have to lap doesn't react to the blue flags. 75% done. 19 gold more.
 * 5) 16.2 END in Suzuka GP. Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. 13.8 km is the goal to beat, 2 laps and a half. Easy. When I see the first Koenigsegg, I just stay in its back, to save time. 1 more trophy, and we unlock Spirit of Ferrari, and, of course, the first car, the Ferrari 458 Spider. It costs money, so we shouldn't worry, but we have to save some to upgrade the Agera until 78.
 * 6) 20.2 CUP in Spa. Koenigsegg Agera. I have chosen Spa because it's a track that requires a great top speed (just look the McLaren race of F1), and I don't like it too much. I'm good at Suzuka, Melbourne and Mount Panorama, but not at Spa. It's been an incredible race, I have to say. The battle side-by-side with auralpod just took two laps! Finally, I got tired of him and I span him out. Great decision, Will. Now I have unlocked Spirit of Ferrari.
 * 7) 20.3 CUP in IMS Speedway. Koenigsegg Agera. I could win with a totally trashed car. That proves a good driver with a bad car can win. Just a trick: Moises Gabby was there racing, I slowed down bots.
 * 8) 19.1 TTR in Laguna Seca. Koenigsegg Agera. 1.12.312. I think it's a good time, but, as you know, in Time Trials, the goal is to complete a lap without going off-track.
 * 9) 18.1 CUP in Melbourne. Koenigsegg Agera. What a race! Top speed vs. grip. Of course, grip won.
 * 10) 15.2 CUP in Suzuka West. Koenigsegg Agera. I overtook them all on 130R because of Jules Bianchi. I still thinking why didn't the stewards raise the red flag on that unfortunate race. Why? Because they prefer money rather than safety.
 * 11) 15.3 CUP in Mount Panorama. Koenigsegg Agera. This one was very difficult. As you might know, Mount Panorama is full of straights. Well, I had a dilema. Broken car: good at the fast turns but slow during the straights. What should I do? Service? Nope. I'm a fighter, I know. And I have to show that out. Suffering a strong deficit in top speed, I could win with some great difficulties.
 * 12) 21.1 CUP in Mount Panorama. Koenigsegg Agera. Again, without servicing, won. It's just the driving style.
 * 13) 22.2 ELI in IMS Speedway. Koenigsegg Agera. A ride around Indianapolis. No problem at all.

We just have unlocked the Ferrari 458 Spider!
Yes, I bought it, other way was impossible. -610,000 R$.

And we have reached the end of the week. I adavance you what you will read tomorrow: Supercar Elites - FINALE, start Spirit of Ferrari and money problems! This is what we have at the end of the 7th day:
 * 679,290 R$ (yes, we burnt out 4 millions in 4 days)
 * 1,767 Gold (at least this one goes up and up)
 * 93% over Supercar Elites.
 * Spirit of Ferrari unlocked
 * 26% of completion over Legend

5th October 2015, Monday
Today begins the Asterion's Charge event. You already know how it works: you drive well, you get gold + car. I am close to reach the 100% in Supercar Elites. I know I will reach it tonight. Sure. Don't feel like do one more race, so good night. See you tomorrow.
 * 1) 21.3 CUP in Laguna Seca. Koenigsegg Agera. Let's go. 439 kph. Will I fly over the Cornscrew? Will I? Tilt B, TC off, steering off, nothing to lose, I start last, I have to win it all. I'm second when I reach the Cornscrew of the first lap. Fly over? Nope. Be sure on the brakes. I'm not leading yet, so I don't want to risk some damage at the beginning. 1.04 was my best lap, the third one, and then I found cars to lap. I felt good because HAM has to lap cars every race but I don't feel good too, because I see Roberto Merhi which has to fight with the car every race, gets good results, and then comes a rich driver with money to give to the team, comes the debut, and CRASH, both Manor off of FP on Singapore. Won but didn't lap any driver.
 * 2) 22.1 CUP in Suzuka GP. Koenigsegg Agera. Don't feel like write too much, it's been practically like the F1 race two weeks ago, no oppose from the rest of the bots.

6th October 2015, Tuesday
Yesterday wasn't a productive day, I know, I was tired. I didn't even start Asterion's Charge 3rd lap, mid-race, mid-field. Overtake now is funnier than before because now there is some good battle between bots, and then I find some chances to overtake more cars. Finally, in the last lap, in the last chicane, an overtake given by the racing gods gives me the 100% of Supercar Elites. Thanks for following. Tomorrow more with Spirit of Ferrari.
 * 1) 22.3 FINALE CUP in Melbourne. Koenigsegg Agera. It's being the most difficult race so far on this series. Before the first turn, I get stopped because a car is in the middle of the track. At the end of the first lap, I got span out by jojo76. Finally, I can overtake this one, he's been a wall for a whole lap.

7th October 2015, Wednesday
I have lots of work and that's the reason I just do one race each day, and I use this post to announce I only will drive 1 race per day. It's a slow pace, I know, but I don't have more time to dedicate to virtual racing. But, we start new racing career, Spirit of Ferrari. That means new tiers, start from 0. Initially, the strategy would be to buy all three cars but not to upgrade until 60 ( I think that's the final PR). The GTO is a gold car, but as we earnt gold from NASCAR and Supercar Elites, we won't lose too much gold. Here comes the goal:
 * 1) 1.2 AUT in Catalunya National. Ferrari 458 Spider. Good start, where Catalunya Circuit started. I have to confess that this car without TC is a constant fight. Even though not going fast, it has ice tyres, just like the Ford GT (that car is the worst so far).

8th October 2015, Thursday
I think starting today is a good choice because now Stage 3 is unlocked, for my device, and I didn't run any race until now. Now, I will start with Asterion's Charge, and then, when I finish stage 2 or so, I will move into Spirit of Ferrari. I spend some time customizing my Lamborghini, I don't want it to look like an Aston Martin Vantage GT3, all full of sponsors, or just like the NASCAR cars, car's that look so horrible when they have the grey livery. Of course I didn't finish today. In about one hour, I will come back with the Legend career.
 * 1) 1.1 H2H in Hockenheim Short.  Ferrari 458 Spider. PerturB did it easy. He was slow so I could overtake him into turn 2 without any problem. It's very late around Spain now,  the goals in Asterion's Charge weren't too difficult, but required time I don't have. Sorry to not race any event more for today. I would like to, but I just can't.

9th October 2015, Friday
Currently over Stage 3 on Asterion's event. It's being an easy task, but it's even more challenging try to win with a damaged car. It's not being such a difficult event, actually one bug was found, I hope it will be the only one, tomorrow we will see how Stage 7 is. Personally, the Asterion has just one problem: top speed. Today I was racing in Spa, where the first sector is practically a straight, and all the cars were overtaking me like airplanes. Today, I will do some more goals. Here they are: This has been enough for today, don't you think? Today, in the Russian GP, it's been the fuel mess around the circuit on FP1, and FP2 had a very wet track, so only 8 drivers set a time. I hope tomorrow it will be different. I just need to purchase all Level 1 upgrades from this Ferrari; that's what I'm doing. The GTO needs 4 more trophies. To unlock the next tier we need two more. Without upgrading, we could just win the drag race, which is somehow impossible for me. Better to upgrade.
 * 1) 1.3 CUP in Silverstone International. Ferrari 458 Spider. Is a lap enough to beat them all, all the 9 cars in track? Yes, and with all the clean race bonus. That means it was the cleanest race ever.
 * 2) 2.1 HUN in Melbourne. Ferrari 458 Spider. It was very easy, again, I received all the CRB.
 * 3) 2.3 SPS in Laguna Seca. Ferrari 458 Spider. I wonder why this Speed Snap is always so easy. Could you imagine it over the Cornscrew?
 * 4) 3.2 AUT in Silverstone International. Ferrari 458 Spider. This car with no grip made it look difficult, LOL. I didn't show out my best skills anyway.
 * 5) 3.1 H2H in Brands Hatch. Ferrari 458 Spider. Still waiting for the GP variant. The reasons people gave here were very unusual such as: "there are houses near the circuit", or the noises it makes disturb the people who live there". And? Can't you think that is because EA/FM is having problems with the circuit license? Well, let's avoid this topic and go to the racing part. G. Jarque vs. B. NoMates. I've tapped the brakes into the second corner of the second lap, and now I'm blocking him at 0 kph, so I'm slowing bots a lot! Finally, when 3 minutes of the second lap had past, I stop tapping the brakes and start racing as normal. The final race time was 4.38.294, for about 4 km! Wow, 1 min/km, I could do it with my bike!
 * 6) 4.1 TTR in Circuit de Catalunya GP. Ferrari 458 Spider. I drive with a slightly damaged car, so that surely will be +3 seconds to our normal time. And our time is... 1.47.938! Congratulations there from all the people who won me, I'm 19th on my friends leaderboard!

10th October 2015, Saturday
If you're a Formula 1 fan, today you're not lucky. If you're one of those 20 drivers on track, then you're sad. If you're Bernie Ecclestone, you're losing money because there's no fun at all. Fuel drops, rain and crashes. That's all what the Russian GP it's been about. But well, Sochi will never be added to the game. Luckily. I hope. Let's go into the racing time. This is how we start the day: Goals we are completing:
 * 317,225 R$ (practically no money due to upgrades on both Ferrari and Lamborghini)
 * 1,829 Gold
 * 4 trophies left to unlock next car
 * 32 trophies to unlock Zenith Series
 * 1) 2.2 CUP in Dubai Oval. Ferrari 458 Spider. Are 4 laps (4480 metres) enough to overtake 21 cars? We should overtake one car each 213 metres. Wow, that's a 4-lapper endurance rather than a race! We have to overtake 4 more cars in 3 laps. First lap has been such a mess, just like the NASCAR Mad Max situation. The first car is 200 m ahead of the second car, I don't think I can catch it, my grip is just terrible. In the last lap, we have to lap some bots. The leader gets stopped by one of the bots and then I overtake him!
 * 2) 5.2 DRR in IMS Speedway. Ferrari 458 Spider. I hope online bots won't get me stuck at this goal. Times: 10.479, 10.845 & 10.638. Easy.
 * 3) 5.1 ELI in Mount Panorama. Ferrari 458 Spider. Now I will try to avoid the grass and the sand, they damage the car, even though the damage system is not realistic at all. I would love to have a more realistic damage system, just like the Formula 1 games, where some parts drop off of the car, such as the front wing, and sometimes if you accumulate damage you get a DSQ. Now 1 trophy left to unlock the car. This is not over for today.
