User:Sirebel/Upgrades Strategy For 100% Completion

This information is in transition from Le Mans 2016 Update (v4.3.1) to Evolution of Jaguar Update (v4.5.1). See the last heading of this page for more information.

This is a guide to what upgrades to acquire, not when to acquire them. It's also worth noting that subsequent updates may lower PRs and make some of the current upgrades strategies redundant.

If you have any doubt before upgrading a car, save your progress to the cloud before spending. It's also a good idea to download the save just after you've uploaded it to verify the save succeeded. It is recommended to check whenever possible that the information is correct before spending, as a mistake may have gone unnoticed.

Any series or cars not included here do not require upgrades to satisfy requirements.

The bottleneck currency is, first the series is completed as far as possible with car(s) upgraded with BRL only, then calculations are made based on car(s) upgraded with , only the upgrade calculations and reward(s), post BRL upgrades, are included in this strategy.

All calculations are based on a new player starting Real Racing 3, there are too many computations to calculate the best strategy for all players, with different cars at different upgrade levels. If a series is started with car(s) at or below fully upgraded with BRL, then best strategy should be as stated, if any car(s) are already upgraded above upgraded with BRL, the player should check the alternative strategy. Most of the time, to complete a series to 100%, all cars will need to be purchased (with a few exceptions, such as NASCAR All-Star Series or Endurance Kings, for example).

Sometimes, different strategies (for the same cost) to the ones listed below may exist: when this is the case, R$ cost and performance improvements were taken in consideration to pick the most beneficial upgrade.

Important Milestones with Gold Upgrades Potentially Attainable before 100% Completion
Some series requiring Gold upgrades to attain 100% completion sometimes stop progress before 75, or even 50%. Similarly, some NASCAR Collections can be completed without upgrading to the maximum PR requirement in their series. The following table will attempt to detail such events and give recommended strategies.

NASCAR Collections not included in the following table are either attained before Gold upgrades are required, or need maximum required PR in the series.

To note, 50% in Campionato Scuderia Ferrari is theoretically achievable without upgrades, but the potential difficulty of event 8.1 (Speed Snap on Mount Panorama) means the user may be stuck at 47% with just BRL upgrades. As the minimum amount to spend and strategies are subjective (relying on the user's ability), it is not included in this table.

Total Cost (Not yet updated)
This table just gives a general idea, as it does not take into account cost for cars or cost to fully-upgrade with R$ all cars.

This only takes into account cost to upgrade acquired cars to meet PR requirements, reward for remaining tier unlocks and rewards for completion of series to 100% from the point where upgrades are required.

The repartition of costs is idealistic and assumes each category is completed one after the other. Also does not include the two remaining Lotuses and their series.

To note, if one is unable to complete event 8.1 in Campionato Scuderia Ferrari without upgrades, the figures in Legend and overall change thus:

Additionally, Time-Limited Series total a cost of 634  and R$1,826,100, with a reward of 160  and R$162,000, for a margin of -474  and -R$1,664,100, which does not include tier unlocks to 100% completion of the series. This isn't included in the table, as it doesn't contribute to 100% completion.

Summary of Changes in Evolution of Jaguar Update (v4.5.1)
5 new cars were added. The Jaguar Lightweight E-Type in Pro in an exclusive series, the Porsche 911 Carrera S in Expert alongside the Porsche Cayman GT4 as well as later in Elite alongside another new car, the Jaguar F-Type SVR. Also in Expert is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat alongside two existing cars, the Dodge Charger SRT8 and the Aston Martin DB9. Finally, the Jaguar XJ220 has been added in Legend, with the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari F40.


 * Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat:
 * Dodge Hellcat Championship: Requiring PR:47, achievable with -5 Engine, -1 Drivetrain, Body & Suspension, costing 105 & BRL258,400.
 * Unleashed World Series: Requiring PR:42, achievable with +2 Body & Brakes, costing 31 and BRL74,900. The DB9 is an alternative, but more expensive for 100% completion, costing 46  and BRL138,500, especially as the Dodge requires a higher PR in its time-limited series.
 * Jaguar F-Type SVR:
 * Winnable in Jaguar Legacy: F-Type SVR.
 * Coupé de Grâce: Unknown as of yet. Used alongside the Porsche 911 Carrera S, which could be cheaper.
 * Jaguar Lightweight E-Type:
 * Winnable in Jaguar Legacy: E-Type.
 * E-Type Extravaganza: Requiring PR:19, achievable with -1 Drivetrain, costing 54 & BRL120,800.
 * Jaguar XJ220:
 * Winnable in Jaguar Legacy: XJ220.
 * Supercar Classic Clash: Requiring PR:57, which is an intermediate strategy to Classic Ferrari Showdown for the Ferrari F40, costing 86 and BRL330,800. The XJ220 therefore does not require  upgrades for this series.
 * Porsche 911 Carrera S:
 * Winnable in The Gauntlet (Season 8).
 * Porsche Supremacy: Requiring PR:48, which is a duplicate strategy from GT4 Renegades for the Porsche Cayman GT4, costing 128 and BRL476,200. The Porsche 911 Carrera S therefore does not require  upgrades for this series.
 * Coupé de Grâce: Unknown as of yet. Used alongside the Jaguar F-Type SVR, which could be cheaper.
