- All players who are feeling overwhelmed by competitors(bots) should first study this article to understand the system of adaptive difficulty in RR3

http://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/Time_Shifted_Multiplayer

If you are a skilled player and always try your best, your competitors will speed up until you can no longer beat them even with your best driving. For me, it happened at 3.5(night racing) and I was about to give up. But then I read about this whole system and, since then, I am clearing most of events with ease.

- In almost every standard racing events where you run alongside with other competitors(be it cups, head-to-head, fuel consumption, etc...), it is possible to win with unupgraded/unserviced(yes, I mean damaged) cars. I mean it. Once you realize that bots...

1) always stick to the racing line

2) brakes way too earlier than needed

, you wil find it easy to overtake other cars because they are hugely slowed down at all corners. They slow down at corners so much that even if they have sufficient acceleration and top speed to beat you in straight lines, you can easily catch them up at corners and more than compensate for the loss.

- Take time to learn the bot's racing line and you will find plenty of overtaking chances. They always follow the famous OUT-IN-OUT racing line, so when they are in the middle of cornering they will always leave the outside space open for you.

- Do I mean that all upgrades are unnecessary? No. At least ONE event(5.4 - mount panorama speed challenge) demands some upgrades. I wouldn't say that it is impossible to beat it without upgrades, but for me it sounds like miracle.
