Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory started Thursday 4th June 2015.

The intention of this post is to keep tips and FAQ for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory in one place, which will hopefully help people racing this challenge.

Due to the way forum posts work, I can only edit the first entry (this post), my intention is to add any comments made in Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory or below to this first post, to keep all tips together on one page, hopefully this will help racers who need to find tips for a particular race, please do not see this a my post, I am creating it based on everyone's tips, for everyone’s benefit and can not do it without you.

I tried this for The 500's Tips and FAQ for The 500, and had positive feedback. Hopefully the Tips and FAQ for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory will be even better :-)

General Tips
Read the following about how the time shifted multiplayer affects the AI of the bots, why it's important to win by small margins and how to slow bots down:
 * Time Shifted Multiplayer

Read @User:Na299 blog how to farm gold. User blog:Na299/Ways of Gold Farming

Start / End Strategy
This event is 10 stages x 24 hours each. The first stage will start the time you start it, the last stage will end 10 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is straight forward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if you don't complete stage 01 the first day, you can continue the following day. The next stage 02, will unlock at midnight the following day, stage 03 the following day at midnight and so on , until stage 10, this will unlock at midnight 10 day later, but stage 10 will not complete until 240 hours have elapsed.

For example:

Start Thu @ 7:30 PM the event will end 11 days later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM

This will give Saturday and Sunday to complete stage 10.

You need to choose the best time for you to start Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory challenge, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

The above is an example, this will give 41.5 hours to complete stage 10. You could start as soon as stage 01 is unlocked at midnight, say you start at 00:01, you will have 24 hour + 1 minute to complete day 10, or if you are a night owl, you could start stage 01 @ 23:30 and have 47.5 hours! It's your choice.

Edit:

Start time has been changed to the same time world wide:

Cloud Save / Restore
See the Firemonkeys website for full details on cloud save:

Firemonkeys.com.au Cloud Save FAQ

Firemonkey wrote: Real Racing 3 automatically uploads your save data to the Cloud Servers once every 12 Hours. This means that if you have lost your save data, you can easily restore your

previous game progress (including your purchases) and also transfer this save data between devices using the Cloud Save feature.

During events you can use the Cloud Save and Restore feature to your advantage.

Before you start every event, manually do a Cloud Save,  if you loose do a cloud restore,  this will save a 3 hour repair after the longer, endurance / cup events.

Once you win do another cloud save before you continue the next event.

You can also use this technique to save on spending with gold, for example if you want to spend 1 gold on the mechanic, if you win, the mechanic will be used and the car condition will be maintained, but if you don't come first the gold is lost and the car condition will be reduced, if you cloud restore the car will be returned to it previous state and the gold spend (or even free mechanic) returned.

Car Service
How can I service the car when I already finished the day?

If you missed servicing your car after the final event on the day, the soonest you can service is midnight, when the next stage is unlocked.

The Target is too high
When the speed or time or distance is too high or fast or long, there are several things that can be done to reduce the target

Make sure you cloud save before you start and after a handful of failed attempts try a cloud restore and retry the next method. Sometimes the AI is still reduced after the restore.


 * Try offline - if you've been online, you must do a force close too.


 * Try online - sometimes the AI target is different.


 * Try repeat, repeat, repeat, again loose by a big margin, don't come higher than 4th.


 * Try loosing by a big margin, but don't retry, instead complete and then re-enter the race - this takes more time but works.

Sorry this takes so much time, but the AI will reduce. With a cloud restore it's quicker than a long service!

For example, I tried 11 times to reach 1st place:

The Game / Le Mans Keeps crashing

 * If you are having problems loading Le-Mans: Le Mans is a the biggest data track to load, close the game, go off line (airplane mode), try a complete showdown (hold the power for 10 seconds, I think), then start back up, launch the game and turn the Heads-up Display (HUD) off. This helps on my Hudl.
 * For those who are having a problem with the game crashing...check how much storage your other installed apps are taking up. On my iPad I needed to increase my available storage to about %50-%60. Then I needed to disable all apps running in the background. Next I had to disable all of my push notifications so that none of my apps were checking to see if they needed to tell me something important (gmail, pintrist, Twitter, Facebook, COC, EVERYTHING).
 * Some have reported the Audi is causing the crash, and the Nissan is working OK.
 * There are reports FM have fixed a bug and a force close and relaunch will download a 1KB file and will now work.

I read a post suggesting using the RR3 Graphics app (AKA RR3 GFX) available from the Google play store, (then automatically updating it from their website). The poster advised Le Mans used to crash, but when the graphics is set low, using this app, it loads and plays fine.

When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact last start day is unknown, from history I would say at least a couple of weeks, but FM aren't following their normal pattern and I have never seen a 10 stage event that can be repeated 3 times. The 2nd and 3rd cars are 5 days each, so it maybe a 20 day event, I don't know, at this stage, if a gap is allowed, between cars. Historically I have even had adverts prompting me to start the event, even when I had finished it. From past events, I expect the Lambo event Retro Rivals will follow on from this one and can not be started until this one has ended.

Will this event be added to the race series?
It maybe months before the event is added to a series, again this is a fairly recent pattern from FM of added past events to series, after two to three months.

Will the cars be available to win in the future?
Maybe, only Road to Le Mans has recently (randomly) stopped awarding the Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014), who knows, maybe this event will replace RTLM?? (pure speculation) :)

Which cas is best?
The three cars are very similar in PR there is very little difference between them, so it's difficult to say which is best. The game has the following description for each car:
 * The 919 Hybrid is a well-balanced car with powerful brakes.
 * This agile Audi has high downforce and will dominate the turns.
 * The GT-R LM's front-engined layout provides a unique driving experience


 * Quote from 104.162.176.184: It's basically top speed vs. handling. My bet is on top speed (feel more comfortable passing opponents on long straights) so this time I chose Nissan.

Which car should I choose?

 * Quote from 221.127.2.83: As a chinese, i am all for nissan lm nismo ...since nissan gtr35 is always a dream car in jp, kr, tw, hk and cn.
 * Quote from 203.36.224.162: If you are going for all 3 it doesn't matter which you start with, I think a lot are going with the Nissan just because they already have the previous Audi and Porcshe LMP1 cars.

Can I buy these cars?
The cars will be available to buy in Endurance Champions from the 4th July, Leon rr3 has posted unconfirmed pictures, showing all three are the same price of 950

If you start to play the event, all upgrades, customizations and VIP will remain on the car permanently, whether you acquire it from this event or buy it later.

What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
We don't know the exact details of goals and tracks, but thanks to Hardik Sukhadiya for extracting all the descriptions for every event from the RR3 script files we have an idea of the event descriptions.


 * Stage 10, Event 2, looks like the benchmark event, average 160 MPH, guessing at le-mans, what everyone wants to know if what upgrades / PR are required. The feeling is R$ upgrades are enough, especially if assist are turned off for the last chicane so it can be straight-lined.

Dmtechguy26 wrote (after stage 4): .... And as far as upgrades are concerned I have just started my level 1 upgrades for tires, brakes and exhaust. My cars current power (speed/acceleration) feels great but I would like it to have more grip and sharper braking. 86.173.94.146 wrote:
 * Upgrades are looking lower than originally thought, probably R$ only, maybe less, maybe just a couple! But with a 12 hour upgrade time I've gone straight for all the level 1 upgrades, I'll do the remaining few R$ upgrades Sunday, as GC as instant I'll wait to see, I don't think GC upgrades are needed. Someone else will need to post their upgrade level, I bet someone will try with none :)
 * I can do 2:58 easily with a R$ upgraded Porsche 919 (2014). So both (3:10 and 160 MPG avg) look doable with R$ upgrades.

Are R$ upgrades certainly required for completion? I have done the first 7 days without upgrades and found it pretty straight forward so far, but I have no money and cannot farm decent R$ as I am still early in the career!

Stage 01
Report and comments about stage 1:


 * Any of the three cars can be used first, the car you choose is used for 10 days.
 * Stage 01 was considered easy, by many and can be completed with no upgrades
 * All three events use a new style rolling starts which are sort of disorienting.
 * You don't have to wait to cross the start/finish line before passing cars on the rolling start.
 * Same 3 hour repair for each of the three cars
 * Some have advised to pay the engineer for event 2, so event three can be completed without a 3 hour repair
 * Another has advised event 3 is possible with a damaged car
 * Use cloud save before event 2 to try for yourself
 * First stage of upgrades cost R$539,300 and take 12 hours (Audi)
 * The level 1 costs of upgrading the Porsche RSR 2015 is R$539,300 and take 12 hours
 * First stage of upgrades cost R$669,100 and take 12 hours (Nissan)
 * Once you finish the day (after stage 1 event three) upgrades can not be started, until after stage 2, so if you have the R$ start them straight away.
 * Repair the car on completing event three ready for the next time it is required.
 * If you are having problems loading Le-Mans: See FAQ above: The Game / Le Mans Keeps crashing.
 * Tip on keeping AI low: The trick is to slow the bots down. Try swiping them: Get to first place, keep slightly ahead of the bots, tap the brakes at the beginning of the straight, when they start to catch up, gently swerve form side to side so they don't fly past, as they get close (10yds), keep to one side and let them pass, then swipe their tails to spin them out. If they pass re-take the lead in the chicane, and have more fun down the next straight. Another way is to park in the chicane, so they queue up behind you and start pushing you forward, if they pass catch up to them and pass them, then repeat. You can win and keep the AI low. Generally I don't mess on the last lap as if the bots are running close together it's possible to tangle up with the 2nd bot and spin yourself out, have fun :-)

Report on day 1: I found the three events are straight forward, the rolling start are new, but just started as soon as the green lights come on and I was away.


 * Event 1: Finish in the top six, even with TC on, brakes high and steering high I managed to come first, but I do know the track very well. Only 7 bars of damage was taken, the normal is 10.9. Source: How often does a car need servicing?


 * Event 2: Average 140 mph. Again with everything on and high this was easy, the bonus of keeping everything clean is the damage is low, I still had three red bars remaining. Running 2 wheels off track can be upto 600% higher damage. I managed to trail swipe the lead two cars to spin them out and slow them down. Source: How often does a car need servicing?


 * Event 3: No contact. I play with three tablets, one is particularly bad loading le-man and I have to play off line, I noticed a big difference between the on line bots and off line, the off line bots were mostly 911's the on line bots were mostly LMP1 cars! The off line tablet was in the lead by the 4th corner! The on line ones reached the lead before the complex before the final chicanes, I had to turn brakes to low to make sure, then I braked so I didn't win by a large margin. No spinning cars out this time, as there is no contact.

Stage 02
Tips about stage 2:


 * Day 2 is taking place at the Nürburgring, with the Porsche 911 RSR 2015. There is no option to upgrade, only service. The races are so boringly easy.
 * Day 2 is a flashback of before the event started (before Day 1). You cannot access your car during this day 2. Meaning that if you missed the service and/or upgrades at the end of Day 1, you will have to wait one day more to access your LMP1 car!
 * Easily completed the 4 events without servicing.
 * Make sure you service the Porsche on completing 2.4. We don't yet know if it will be needed in future stages. If you haven't bought it you can't access it to service it for the next time it is used or on the next cycle through the events.

Report on day 2: I found the 4 events where very easy, Nürburgring is a new track introduced six weeks ago, with the DeZir event Project Impulse, so I know it well. Controls: Tilt A, all assists high and on for all events.


 * Event 1: Head to Head, I tail swiped the lead car on the start/finish straight, and took the lead. Again very easy, I kept tapping the brake and gently swerving across the track to slow the bot down.


 * Event 2.1: Hunter, standard event, I made sure I won by a small margin, I could have won by allot more even with all assists on high.


 * Event 2.2: Autocross, standard event, again with assists on high I had to brake to win by a smaller margin.


 * Event 3: Win by 250 yds, starting first. straight forward, again with assists on high I had to brake to win by a smaller margin.


 * Event 4: Cup, starting first! I still had about five green bars, I just toyed with the other cars and had fun :-), they were very slow, even with assists all high, I could catch them if they passed and spin them out, the last lap I kept a small lead by tapping the brake and won by a small margin. After finishing the event I repaired the car.

I finished within an hour, No big differences noticed on my Hudl (offline) tablet.

Stage 03
Tips about stage 3:
 * Day 3 is again at Nürburgring with the 911 RSR 2015.
 * Event 1: don't get passed with two opponents. Standing start, two laps of the very short track.
 * Event 2: flying start on the very short track. One opponent. It says pass within 15 seconds or finish first without going off track. Just get close to the opponent on the half prestart lap. Then you can pass right after the line. Easy peasy.
 * Event 3: auto cross (gp track), elimination and endurance (sprint track)
 * 3.1 Target time for auto cross was 1:01.5, I had to wait about 3 secs before the finish line not to be too quick.
 * 3.2 Target distance for Endurance was 5.3 km, I had to wait 60 secs for the clock to tick down after I passed the 1st marker.
 * 3.3 I did elimination last – and the damage indicators were still at green at the start. Also pretty easy. The first brake zone starts about 10 seconds after the standing start (and you can use the grass for extra drag) so even with a fully damaged car you most likely won't get eliminated in the first 20 secs.

Dmtechguy26 wrote: On day 3 stage 1, do not pass challenge I was far enough ahead on the first lap that I was able to spin my car into the very narrow section, so that my car was perpendicular to the track. I held up the bots for over 4 minutes but they did end up passing me. By the end of the 2 laps I was was able to place 1st by 7 yards, but failed the challenge. Did my efforts slow the bots for future races?

Yes you will notice the bot are parked in the the bends, but still fast down the straights

Report for stage 3:

All assists high/on, tilt A (automatic acceleration), unless commented. New 911 (2015) with no upgrades. Fully serviced from yesterday.
 * Event 1: don't let them pass, My first attempt of holding them up I failed, so I had to do a cloud restore. 2nd attempt worked, I parked my car in the narrow section of track after the hairpin, to hold the two bots up for 10 seconds, won 1:23.4, Philip Hartson was 1:23.7, I had to brake to win by a small margin. 2.5 bars used.
 * Event 2: managed to overtake (undertake) Luis at the hairpin, 11.22 sec, even with brakes high! Used 0.5 bar.
 * Event 3.1 Autocross (standard): target 59.9s, won 57.7, I had to brake to not win by so much, maybe should have braked earlier. Used 1.5 bar
 * Event 3.2 Elimination (standard), passed them all down the right hand side when I reached the hairpin. Parked it in the chicane, with the last 4 behind. Oddly was 2nd. 4 bars used.
 * Event 3.3 Endurance (standard) target 3.7 miles (Oddly), once I passed 1st I turned to Tilt B and parked the car for 30 seconds. 3.8 miles used 4 bars (13 so far today). Still good condition, 4 green bars remaining.
 * Event 4 Pass Luis 5 times, Turned back to tilt A (automatic acceleration) I spun him out on the start / finish straight then parked in turn 1 to hold him up, he is slow in the bends, so easy to pass around the outside of him a couple of the passes didn't register, maybe some clear air is required between cars. 2:16.2 v 2:16.7, used 3 bar, 7 red bars remaining so serviced the car, ready for next next time she is required :)

Hudl (offline) very brief summary as a comparison

1 1:19.7 v 1:20.2 didn't hold them as long, 3 bars used - cut too many corners.

2 I turned brake assist to low to pass him before the hairpin. 8.7sec. Used 0.5 bar

3.1 Target 58.6 won 57.7, I temporarily turned to tilt B to have better control in the final straight. Used 1 bar

3.2 oooo! was 2nd, used 5 bars

3.3 morkRING 3.9mi, parked it for 25 seconds once I reached 4.0mi. Used 3 bar. 2.5 green bars left.

4 Luis 2:12.4 won with 2:12.1 used 4 bar, I didn't slow Luis down as much. 4.5 red bars remaining, so serviced.

Very little difference between online and offline today.

Very easy day, even all the assists on/high, I could have done all the events 1st time, except for my mistake, letting one pass in event 1. All events played online without a problem. I'll play my offline tablet next and report if there are any big differences. Update: no big difference noted online and offline, in fact the bots had the same names!

Tomorrow we can get the LMP1 car back, looking forward to the Nismo :)

One of the benefits of playing on line, I had 3 videos to get 3 My offline tablet had 1 video, 1

Stage 04
Tips about stage 4:

Unless stated the goal is to win

Event 1: average speed 120 MPH (193 KPH)+
 * No problems reported. Event 5, average 130 MPH can almost be done with a broken car this should be easy.
 * Try to keep the lap clean, no off track or cutting corners, to keep the car damage as low as possible.

Event 2: Complete this Time Trial
 * I would advise to set a slow time, brakes high, as the repeat events, with the next car, so you may need you to beat the previous time trial time set.

ME7 wrote: Remember to do the time trial really slow in case they make you try and beat your time with no assists or something like that.

Event 3: Win with tyres wearing

174.115.66.135 wrote: Your tires are degrading very quickly. There is a tire wear percentage indicator as you complete the lap. Be very careful at the last corner/chicane, as it's very easy to spin and your tires will only have about 40% grip left. 45.50.137.23 wrote: 4.3 Hunter wanted +156 yards online and about -244 offline. Have the Nissan with the level 1 upgrades. Did it offline with bars just into the red with no assists. Stay on track otherwise tires go to zero quickly, but if you're close and need to make sure of the win, then cutting the last chicane will be okay especially if you line yourself for for the final straight. LuxCal wrote: I was able to complete 4.3 in the Audi with all stage 1 upgrades, with all assists on/high. That way, I don't really care how the tires are doing, since the assist will make sure I'm going slowly enough through the turns. Make sure you cut every corner you can; I came out at -44yd. Giin Tonyx wrote: Day 4 was easy again. No service required at all (if the bots are slowed down right. I had all level 1 R$ upgrades.

On stage 3 (the tire thing): make sure you don't skid and stay on track at all cost. If you do that you won't notice too much. I had a very good lap until blanchimont (turn 18) where I ran wide. Once I was back on the pavement the tires were down to 0 and it wouldn't accelerate in a straight line any more. I went back on the grass to cut the chicane and I still made it first, dunno how.

Event 4: Win with 10 units of fuel. Info on fuel saving copied from The 500 tips:
 * My method was to drive as fast as possible, until I could reach 1st place. Then coast / fuel save, by going flat out down the straights but lift long before the bends, trying not to brake. Each time a car tried to overtake, I spun them as they passed, by swiping their tail. After the top cars had been spun out a few times I could easily maintain a lead. I could save lots of fuel.

ME7 wrote: I won the last two events today with a totally trashed Audi, with level 1 R$ upgrades

Event 5: average speed 130 MPH (209 KPH)+

45.50.137.23 wrote: 4.5 The last race wanted 130 ave mph. With the full degraded Nissan I finished lap 1 under the mark, lap 2 right at the mark and lap 3 at 131 average. It wasn't hard, but it was fairly close and if they wanted much more it would have required a serviced car. ME7 wrote: I won the last two events today with a totally trashed Audi, with level 1 R$ upgrades

Summary:

ME7 wrote: I did all stage 1 upgrades with the Audi. There were only two stage 2 upgrades that I could buy with $R. Everything else is with GC and it's expensive. I have to wait 24 hours to see how good these upgrades are. ... Unfortunately I forgot to service it before I was locked out! .. Slowing down the bots is so important to do. Once you slow them down, the bots are fast on the straight always but really slow on the corners.

I did a Backup to Cloud after every event and finished every one first time.

I watched 3 videos for 3

Hudl (offline) exactly thes same car & upgrades. very brief summary as a comparison


 * 1. 4:16 v 4.18 markRING +82 yds. offline bot was quicker, but still no problem. Used 6 bar.
 * 2. waited 60 seconds before crossing the line. 3:05. Used 3 bar. (went online to register the time)

Stage 05
Tips about stage 5:
 * All events at Spa.

Event 1: Cup.Top 10 finish
 * Once in in tenth start slowing the bots down, spin them out, weave etc.

1.152.96.226 wrote: Goals 1&2 straightforward.

Event 2: Endurance.Complete at least 2 laps.
 * Stop, once you cross the line after two laps, as long as your 1st.

1.152.96.226 wrote: Goals 1&2 straightforward. Giin Tonyx Tips for day 5 / endurance (more of a question) Since the goal is easily reached does anyone know if the recorded distance goes into the bot-power-calculation? If that's so maybe it would be a good idea to get off track wherever possible (without too much time lost) because distance off track doesn't count towards the distance goal. Just a hunch, but what don't we do to slow down bots…


 * Yes, you can go off track, after passing 1st, but the car will take 600% more damage. If the car is close to needing a service then try it. Source: How often does a car need servicing?
 * Don't worry about setting a low time/distance, every time, the AI/bots will increase a little, but not too extreme, just work on slowing them down again, when you can.

81.98.183.12 wrote For 5.2 I had my bots slowed down fairly well so I only had a target goal of 4.0miles. I did some off-road (fortunately only enough to keep me just above needing a service) finishing with 7.8 miles (still had 30 seconds to play with so could have done more off-road). If you've got the time to wait for a service between 5.2 and 5.3 it might be worth doing as much off-road as possible to keep the bots slow. Event 3: Get the speed record this lap without going off-track!
 * As soon as you reach 1st slow down.
 * If you have problems you can go to the top of the track, Les Combes, turn around and go the wrong way down the Kemmel Straight, as soon as you reach 1st stop and turn back around, but watch you don't go off track.

Giin Tonyx Tips for day 5 / speed record My goal was 327kph and I reached 330 on the way down Eau Rouge. I have the nismo and all level 1 upgrades. From the comment above I thought it would be harder.


 * Everyone will have different targets and upgrades, online and offline, so some will find events easy, others more difficult. If the targets are getting too difficult use the tips in the FAQ &gt; The Target is too high to lower them down.

81.98.183.12 wrote My target goal for 5.3 was 203.9MPH - easily achieved (all R$ upgrades - actually hit 205mph) before reaching the hill which is near the start.

Event 4: Cup. Rolling start. Top ten finish - The engine is close to overheating.
 * Sounds like a variation on the fuel management events
 * Must lift to avoid overheating the engine

1.152.96.226 wrote: Goal 4 - 1. Don't forget to accelerate at the start, it is a rolling start but with manual acceleration. 2. Use the lift and coast technique from fuel saving and the same lifting points. Brake assist is still enabled so you don't need to worry about braking. 81.98.183.12 For 5.4 I finished in an overall time of 6:30 (ahead of Luka Jankovic because I'd blocked Isak Johannson). Winning time was Michael Wright in 4:51. Car was slightly (but not fully - all R$ upgrades) degraded. Still easy enough to have moved up to 10th by the time we got back to the starting position.

Event 5: Cup. Rolling start. Don't come last - The car is in critical condition
 * The engine temperature at more than 3/4

1.152.96.226 wrote: Goal 5 - 1. Again don't forget to accelerate at the start. 2. The engine is already hot. When you start dab the accelerator and weave like crazy to block people behind you. 3. Excuse the pun but park up as long as possible in the bus stop and queue everyone behind you. This allows the engine to cool to get you through the rest of the lap. 4. Complete the rest of the lap, dabing the accelerator, lifting and coasting and weave and block as much as possible. Most will pass you but you should still have a couple behind by Les Coombs. 5. Again, use Les Coombs to park up, cool the engine and block who is still behind you. Then complete the lap.

Goal 5 was done with an unserviced car.

Don't let the engine overheat, it sets on fire and starts smoking and you fail the goal.

81.98.183.12 For 5.5 I had a fully degraded car. Using Tilt B and make sure your foot comes straight off the pedal as soon as the race starts - block, block, block (your temp should be back to zero before you even get into the straight). The great thing on this one is you only need to block one car - so it doesn't matter if someone else slips through - although given that they get worse each time, I'd recommend trying to block the genuine 22 (Kenneth Johnson for me). "winning" time of 4:28 - we got lapped - and I got to use the front-runners to give me a boost around the track and also to stop the last car from trying to catch up.

Stage 06
Tips about stage 6: Stage six will be with production cars: Nissan Silva and Ford Focus.

Event 1: Cup. Beat them in these production cars

1.152.96.194 wrote: Stage 6 Details: Track = Silverstone, Cars = Nissan Silva and Ford Focus. I have both of these fully upgraded so the day was never going to be a problem. All goals very easy.

Goal 1 - Cup 2 laps. Event 2: Head to Head. Cross the finish line first in the opposite direction
 * EDIT: sorry: Not reverse across the line, it's drive the the wrong way around the track and win!

1.152.96.194 wrote: Goal 2 - Head to Head, 1 lap, drive round track in opposite direction and get to line before they do. Tip, it's ok to have a head on crash, there is no penalty and it will slow them down.
 * This one is a bit of fun. Win the race, but go the other way around the track and cross the finish line first! Brake and Steering assists have been disabled.

122.118.47.133 wrote:
 * There where two events like this in Exclusive Reveal Stage 3 Event 1 and Stage 7 Event 5. Do a U turn at the beginning and race in the opposite direction to win. If it's a cup race it's best to go on the grass, at the cross over point, to avoid a head on with multiple cars!
 * See this video for an example (look about 2m45s) in: Real Racing 3:- Exclusive Reveal Stage 03 Goal 1 Credit: Real Racing Guru.

For 6.2, folks should go back and do the Silverstone National circuit in reverse in the career series using either the Ford or Nissan. There is a time trial you can run full speed to get used to the track backwards. There is also a cup you should run a few times to get used to traffic coming at you. The beauty is, because you are going backwards you can go for hours, as you never actually "end/win" the race, so you can gets lots of practice. I did about a 1/2hr of both, and I'm sharp on the track now. My advice, do the cup first as the oncoming cars space out and it gets harder, but teaches you grass surfing. After this do the time trial; with a clear track you really get the line and braking points down in your chosen vehicle. It is also good to practice your start, i.e. reverse, turn, drive opposite direction. It's not easy with the camera flipping around. Done correctly you save a few precious seconds: seconds you lose grass surfing at the 1/2 way point ...

Event 3: 1x Speed Record, 2x Autocross

AlainD974 wrote: To dislodge the bumper, I used the Ford Focus, and hit hard twice, right in the middle! Not on the side.

 * 1 1st by turn 5, slowed them down, Existent was fasted, so I spun him out, 3:01.0 v 3:01.3 Kranger. Used 6 bars (repair time is 1min/4min)

2nd attempt, allowed a bigger gap down the straight the and gave Mark 4 big rams. Switched to Tilt B, to give better control. Bumper was hanging down, but still not off! Retried, 3rd attempt, 6 big rams, still on ! WTF! to be continued... off to work now Lunch time 4th attempt: With my Ford, I tried to keep about 40 yds behind, about 6 big hits, Marks Silvia is still hanging on 5th attempt: I tried to side swipe and hit Mark's right hand side rear, his bumper was holding on with a thread! I could see it was loose on the right, so continued to concentrated on the right hand side. Still no good after 6 good hits, 2 of which spun him out! :( 6th attempt: Tried the big hits at the end of every straight and even sitting on his bumper and tapping it in the short straights, still hanging on! 7th attempt: Tried the left this time, damaged, but the right was holding on this time! 8th attempt: Switched to the Silvia to service the RS, still no luck. Tried form over 100 yds back on the last long straight, zip :( 9th attempt: Tried all assists off, after watching The Guru's video (see link above), tried bonnett cam view and hit the same was as in the video, still no good! 10th attempt: Still no good :( Battery needs charging! Lunch over :( After work: Reading some of the posts it maybe an Android bug, I think Guru has an Ipad. Apparently my graphics are set to low, I don't have working mirrors, on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Installed the RR3 Graphics app (Credit 95.155.34.245) and upgraded to the latest version, I don't have root, this is not required. Launched the App and set the graphics to medium. 11th attempt: smashed hell out of Mark's bumper, still no good. Mirrors are still not showing, I'll try a higher setting. Force closed RR3, Launched RR3 Graphics App, Set Graphics to high, using the app and launched RR3 from the app. 12th attempt: RESULT!!! Smashed the rear bumper exactly the same as before, third attempt registered as a success. Turn 4!! Saved 20 for skipping :) The mirrors in car view are now showing the rear view! Frame rate performance is poor, I didn't care :) I'll set it back low now! :D Sorry so chuffed I didn't record the result LOL, it was 3 min something, I slowed Mark down and maintained a small lead.
 * 2 Used the head on crash tip by 1.152.96.194. When going the opposite way Slowed as I came to to line to lower the time gap, brake assist don't work in the opposite direction, probably over braked, but still won. 1:18 v unknown est 1:20. 3 bar used.

Stage 07
Tips about stage 7:

Back in out LMP1 cars.

Unless stated the goal is to win

Event 1 - head to head, 1 lap, Nurburgring, reduce speed increase grip (high downforce).

Event 2.1/2.2/2.3 - autocross at Catalunya, Brands Hatch & Hockenheimring (night) - high downforce.
 * No problems reported, all standard events.

Event 3.1/3.2 - elimination at Dubai & speed record at Nurburgring - increase speed reduce grip (high straight line speed). AlainD974 wrote: Nissan R$ upgraded. I find it really hard to finish 7.3 Dubai Eleminiation at 1st position. The drifts make me lose a lot of speed each time they happen. Does anyone have any trips for this race please? I use a Medium brake assist.
 * No major problems reported, both standard events.

I sometimes race in 1st position, but followed closed by the 2nd and get overpassed at one of the last curves :-(

Thanks in advance. I had no problems at all with brakes and steering high, also check the steering sensitivity, I use 0 or 1. Smooth steering is the key to not braking traction. Upgraded Nissan to 9 R$ upgrades (as far as R$ upgrades will go).

Another thing to try, let the 2nd place bot pass you in a straight, and spin it out, as it passes, then race on :)

Event 4 - endurance at Monza - complete 2 laps with average speed of average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above - high straight line speed. 62.232.111.100 wrote:

7.4 I kept to 6.0miles as winning distance by going off-track a bit (although obviously it meant that the car wasn't great for 7.5, as above it was still good enough to get the 220MPH).

Tips about stage 8:

All events are at Le Mans

Unless stated the goal is to win

Event 1: Cup, under 3 minutes 20 seconds Dmtechguy26 wrote: I started today's events in my Nissan with only the first round of grip related (no power related) upgrades, only about 4 bars into the green on condition. The first challenge to do a lap under 3:20 was no problem! By the time it was over I was 3 bars into the red. The next challenge to do a lap under 3:10 was also no problem! After that my car needed servicing to win the brake challenge. Remember that it can't hurt to try a race even if your car is in need of a little repair!

Good luck, and have fun! We're almost through this!!

Event 2: Finish this Time Trial under 3 minutes 10 seconds.
 * Should be fine with R$ upgrades, tested with a Porche 919 (2014) and managed sub 3 minutes, with PR93.1.

Tests done with the old Porsche (2014) with PR93.1: It will be tight to get 3:10 with an unserviced car. With all assists off it can probably be done, but difficult. 106.192.140.71 wrote: If the time trail of 3:10 can be beaten on Lemans then there won't be any problem in winning the race with an avg speed of 257 kmh.

 * Good Porsche (2014) with all assists high / on: 3:13

With this average speed the time for Le mans is 3:11 seconds.

So guessing that if the time trail can be completed the rest will be easy... Ntobec wrote:
 * Question: Can you complete the time trial in 3:10 with R$ upgrades only?

Yes complete with 7 R$ upgrade.

Slightly less than 3 min Giin Tonyx wrote:

Time trial was a piece of cake. I was driving cautiously (no assists in my case) because the event before I had a few power slides on the exits. But with the time trial the top-speed-boost is removed and so is the lateral-acceleration penalty. So I achieved a 3:03 or so lap, but I waited on the finish line for 3:09.45. You never know: maybe we'll have to beat this time with the next car we're trying to get?

I have the nismo with all R$ upgrades and no gold upgrades.

Event 3: Le Mans 3-lapper (with braking issues) Ntobec wrote:

Stage 8.3 - cup 3 laps, win with brake assist off - there is a brake fade issue due to block brake duct. 100% indicator for brake reduces fast when braking and recharge when not braking

Remember to service the LMP as the next event uses a Bentley Continental Sport. '''
 * I haven't got to 8.3 yet, it sounds like a variation on the fuel save events, Tilt B, power down the straights and lift off before the turns, with a final touch of brake if needed. Use cloud save then practice a few times with combination of lift off points and brake points, use the count down markers, shadows, trees etc, as reference points, then cloud restore and go for it :)

49.149.36.95

Weird, i tried 8.3 with no braking at all... Releasing the throttle reduces the speed from 240-150 mph much faster than brakes 220.255.1.107

Stage 8.3 is a Le Mans 3-lapper - good for those looking for (100%daily bonus + Manager) R$ and (Agent) Fame but have not reached the Le Mans 10-lapper. Remember to service your LMP1 after the race as 8.4 uses the Bentley instead. 187.62.210.90

Yes, I realised that too. This is a bug of that version, in tilt B, just releasing the accelerator button to automatically activate the brakes. In challenge 8.3 with that weird bug, you can use the brakes without consuming it. ME7 wrote:

Tips and FAQ for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory

Racing with the Audi I had trouble on the 3 lap Le Mans with manual brakes. I have not used manual brakes at Le Mans before (I race with brake assist on low). Figuring out the braking points took 3 tries. Then I was pretty good. Still slammed the wall hard on a few turns and had to spin out the competition a few times to slow them down. That made my handling worse so the braking points changed again. Switching to controls B helped as well with the manual gas and brake. I was REALLY using up the brakes the other way. A Wikia contributor 64.121.152.152 wrote:

For the 8.3 Brake fail challenge, the Nissan KERS system slows the car faster than manually applying the brakes, all that's needed is a full throttle lift and give the KERS a moment to begin decelerating. If you lift throttle and immediately apply brake the car actually decelerates slower *and* consumes the brakes. Do the Audi and Porsche drivers experience the same?

Gamuza469 wrote:

Sorta. The Audi break-- brakes pretty hard but if you lift the accel the car slows down pretty damn fast too. Haven't checked if it's faster than using the brakes but I finished 8.3 without using brakes... with a 1km lead... I think, still it was a very big lead.

Event 4:head to head 1 lap, skids 10 times and win


 * Spin the bot out, set TC off, 10 small skids, turn TC on and win, simple :)

ME7 wrote:

As far as the last task driving the Bentley, what a blast! I turned off traction control so I could get all my skids in before the first straight away. I spun the competition completely backwards before the very first corner which gave me a 200 metre lead. After my last skid I turned traction control back on and decided to let the competition catch up. That VIP had quite the ride! We spun out the competition at least 6 times!

Steering still high and TC on, 1st by turn 3, cut the grass, lifted at 300m board, no need to brake on both chicanes on the straights, 1st lap 3:17,  2nd lap 3:24, played with 1st and 2nd bot. 3rd lap 3:18, total 10:00, crashed :( Did a cloud restore. 18 min wasted :( Played a lot more with the cars, spun them out, found it very easy, didn't need to brake once, lifting was plenty. 10:38.9 v Finn Martyn 10:39.7, car trashed, so serviced.
 * 4. Do 10 skids in Bentley Continental GT Speed, 0 upgrades, started with Tilt B, brakes low, registered 2 skids without even trying, spun Sparx out on the 1st straight, turned TC off, and did 8 more skids in the 1st chicane, turned assists back to high/on and Tilt B. Sparx caught back up, on spinning the bot out again I caught the barrier and bounced backwards! Turned brakes to low, the Bentley was very tail happy, could have done 10 skids with brakes low! Passed Sparx once more and won. 4:36.2 v Sparx 4:36.8 7 bars used. Still good condition.

1 video 1 Hudl (offline) exactly the same car & upgrades.

Stage 09
Tips about stage 9:

All events are at Le Mans

Unless stated the goal is to win No posts this morning about stages 1~3+6~7, I'm guessing they are straight forward events. Lets hope so :) Event 1: No overtaking, under 4m 20s, tires @ 100%

Event 2: top six, no damage

Event 3.1: no off-track

Event 3.2: no off-track

Event 3.3: no off-track

Event 4: average 158 MPH (254 KPH) + Ntobec wrote:

Just completed 9.4. Nissan with 9 R$ upgrade at PR92.5. Need a serviced car to reached average speed of 280kph. Stop before the finish and wait until drop to 254kph before crossing. With an unserviced car max can reached is 248kph.

Event 5: no contact

Ntobec wrote:

For 9.5 minimal contact will fail. Just need to take your time when overtaking. Event 6:

Event 7: top 10 finish

Stage 10
Tips about stage 10:

Event 1: Win 1700 yd (1554 m)+
 * lower the AI in previous events or repeat, repeat, repeat.

Event 2: Average speed 160 MPH (257 KPH)+ The feeling is R$ upgrades are enough, especially if assist are turned off for the last chicane so it can be straight-lined.
 * This looks like the benchmark event, guessing at le-mans, what everyone wants to know if what upgrades / PR are required.
 * Quote 46.30.132.206: I could have easily got over 160mph average speed in the day 1 event without any upgrades if I hadn´t slowed down on purpose. So, I wouldn´t worry about that.
 * I can do 2:58 easily with a R$ upgraded Porsche 919 (2014). So both look doable with R$ upgrades.

if you make the calculation knowing the track is : 13.629 km (8.469 mi)

then this means a time of 3:10 or so.

FYI: 3:00 is already 169MPH Event 3: stop for 15 sec

Event 4:

Event 5: No colliding or off-track

Event 6:

Event 7:

Event 8: Complete the victory lap and perform 5 donuts.
 * Doughnuts: Turn all assists off, tilt B (manual acceleration) turn the device and floor it :) Start practising with other cars now :)
 * This video, from a previous event shows how, look 1:30 in: Real Racing 3: - Exclusive Reveal Stage 04 Goal 5 SPEEDRUSH TV Porsche Cayman GT4 - Real Racing Guru

I hope it will allow us to doughnuts on the grass at turn one :) If not there are big sections of road by the chicanes, on the main straights. If your car is trashed, after an event try a replay and give it a go, loosing will lower the AI too. All assists off, tilt B, turn the device 90o and floor it.

BIG credit and thank you to Hardik Sukhadiya for extracting all the descriptions for every event from the RR3 script files.

Please post your comments and tips, information like: What problems you had and how to overcome the problems? Is a service needed? Can an event be run with a broken car? What is the minimum PR/upgrade? Is it easy/more difficult ? What controls Tilt A / B ? What assists - brakes high / low ? TC on / off etc. basically any tips that maybe useful to other racers. I'll summarise them, as per stage 1-3, if there is anything missing let me know ;-)
