Fame Chart

Objective
The objective of this page is to map out the Fame required to increase Driver Levels. Real Racing 3 does not provide a specific in-game tracking chart and only shows a bar that fills as more fame is gained. The bar appears to fill more rapidly at the beginning of a fame level and slower as the player approaches the next level.

View Current Fame Points
The player can view the total number of fame points earned throughout the game by tapping the Driver Level (and Fame Meter) in the top left corner on the main screen. Use the total fame earned to measure our progress.

Purpose
Why should we do this? Well, basically at some point in the game all players will start to shift from an "Earn R$" strategy to an "Earn Gold" strategy. Leveling Up will eventually become very important to earning Gold. More fame will equal more gold, and quicker fame = quicker gold. Players can use the estimated Fame charts to perform a cost-benefit analysis on how many races it will take to earn enough Gold, how much time, should they use the Double Fame Agent, etc.

Disclaimer
This page is a work in progress and based on several assumptions and information from a single data point (Fame at a specific Driver Level from a single account). Players are encouraged to fill in their estimated Fame Level at the start of a new Driver Level to help refine the estimate Fame required to Level Up.

Theory 1
The Fame points were calculated based on a theory that the Fame required to reach the next level was 2 x 1,000 x Gold Award at that Level. The Gold Levels were taken from the RR3 Wikia Strategy Page ( http://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/Strategy)

Example
Increasing from Driver Level 10 to Driver Level 11 provides an Award of 10 Gold. The theory would suggest that the following fame is required to increase from Driver Level 10 to Driver Level 11:

2 x 1,000 x 10 Gold = 20,000 Fame Points.

Result
This theory was tested on an account with a Driver Level 91. The formula was used with all Gold Awards at the associated Driver Level Intervals. The Fame required for each interval was summed and resulted in 2,818,000 Fame Points to reach Level 91. The total fame earned on the Level 91 account was estimated to be approximated 2,440,000 Fame Points. The difference is 378,000 (or approximately 15%).

The theory is a close approximation, but can use more testing. It is possible that throughout the game updates and versions, the fame intervals changed. If the Fame intervals were lower in previous versions of the game, that could explain why the Level 91 Account has less than the calculated fame required for that level.

Theory 2
The second theory is an evolved version of the first theory. There are a few key assumptions for this theory: NOTE: A Gold Award Interval is considered all Driver Levels for a specified Gold Award (i.e. Driver Level 10-19 are in the same Gold Award Interval of 10 Gold. There are a total of 10 Driver Levels within this Interval).
 * The final level of a Driver Level Gold Award Interval is 2 x 1,000 x Gold Award
 * The fame required to Level Up increases for each Driver Level
 * All Driver Levels within a Gold Award Interval increase at a constant rate

This theory starts with assumption that the final Driver Level within a Gold Interval requires the Fame Calculation from Theory 1 (2 x 1,000 x Gold Award). For Example, Level 4 Required 6,000 Fame, Level, 9 Requires 10,000 Fame, Level 19 requires 20,000 Fame, and so-on.

The next assumption of the theory is that the Fame required to Level Up increases with each Driver Level at a constant rate. The constant rate is calculated by taking the difference between the Fame required at the maximum Driver Level of two consecutive Gold Award Intervals, and dividing by the number of Driver Levels in that interval.

Example
In the Theory 1 Example, it was calculated that the Fame required to increase from Driver Level 10 to Driver Level 11 was 20,000 Fame Points. Following Theory 2, Level 10 is the first Driver Level within the 10 Gold Award Interval. In order to calculate the Fame required for Level 10, we need to know the constant rate of increase and the maximum Driver Level in that interval and the previous interval.

The maximum Driver Level for the 10 Gold Award interval is Level 19 and the maximum Driver Level for the 5 Gold Award Interval is Level 9. According to Theory 2, Level 19 requires 20,000 Fame and Level 9 requires 10,000 Fame (a difference of 10,000 Fame). There are 10 Driver Levels within the 10 Gold Award Interval. The constant rate of increase is 10,000 Fame / 10 Driver Levels = 1,000 Fame Increase per Driver Level.

So Level 10 would require 10,000 + 1,000 Fame to increase (11,000 Total Fame).

Result
By calculating this theory out and taking the sum of Fame points, a Level 91 would theoretically require 2,518,760. The estimated Fame points at the start of an actual Level 91 account are 2,440,000. The difference of 78,760 (approx 3%) is much closer. This is based on a single data point however.
