Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory is due to start 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 :-)

Read the following about how the time shifted multiplayer affects the AI of the bots, why it's important to win by small martins and how to slow bots down:

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.

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 2 hour repair on 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.

Stage 01
Tips for each stage will be filled here.

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 is too high or fast, 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 off line - if you've been on-line, you must do a force close too.

Try on line - sometimes the AI target is different.

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

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

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

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