Real Racing 3 Wiki:Sandbox/Tips and FAQ for Road To Le Mans

Real Racing 3 Wiki:Sandbox/Tips and FAQ for Road to Le Mans

Road to Le Mans depending on the start screen you will have 5 days or unlimited days...

The intention of this page is to keep tips and FAQ for Road to Le Mans in one place, which will hopefully help people race this event.

Tips and FAQ History
This is the forth iteration of a tips and FAQ page:
 * RR3 Michael P created tips for The 500's Tips and FAQ for The 500.
 * Guillejarque created a tips page for Project Impulse's challenge The Renault-Nurburgring-Race Teams update and blog for tips
 * RR3 Michael P created tips once more for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory's Tips and FAQ for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory
 * Guillejarque created a tips page once more for Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory, with Porsche.

Each time the tips have improved. Unfortunately due to the way forum posts and blogs work, only the originator RR3 Michael P or Guillejarque can edit the first entry. With Tips and FAQ for Road to Le Mans anyone can edit this page, hopefully this will lead to many more editors adding useful content for everyone’s benefit.

Stragegy
Real racing 3 is a massive game designed my FireMonkey (FM) to make you want to spend real money on R$ and. Many in this Wikia community have posted comments what they have managed to reach the end of the game without spending any real money. The bottle neck currency is. Read this article on strategy for more information:
 * Strategy - Including why gold is precious.

Time Shifted Multiplayer (TSM)
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 - TSM algorithm and AI, whys it's important to win by small margins and how to slow bots down

List of Offline Bot's Names
This is the bots order (from faster to slower), and their countries:

Start / End Strategy
If you get this page offering the Porsche if you finish in 5 days, you will have the chance to win it for free.

If you see a screen offering R$250,000 you don't get the Porsche.

I read a post suggesting to do a cloud save before clicking to start RTLM, if you see the R$ 250k offer back out and do a cloud restore, try again and again, until you see the Porsche offer. I don't know if it works, let us know if it does for you :)

Therefore, depending on the screen you see when you start the event you either have 5 days to win the Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014) or you will be offered R$250,000, with no time restrictions.

If you have 5 days to complete the 12 stages, the event is 5 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time you start it, the last stage will end 5 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 instantly unlock once stage 01 is complete, without any restrictions, stage 03 will unlock instantly on completing stage 02, and so on upto stage 12, in total you will have 5 x 24 hours = 120 hours to complete all 12 stages.

For example:

Start Tue @ 7:30 PM the event will end 5 days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

You need to choose the best time for you to start Road to Le Mans event, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

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 service after the longer, endurance / cup events.

Once you win do another cloud save before you continue the next event, see the FAQ on Firemonkey's website: It is very important to wait for the screen to display last updated seconds (or minutes) ago. If you have a message stating backup failed, wait another minute, a wheel will turn in the bottom right corner, the message will show last updated seconds (or minutes) ago and Backup to Cloud button will be greyed out too.
 * FM FAQ RR3 Cloud Save - How to Backup your save to the Cloud

If backup still failed, return to the login screen, log off, wait 10 seconds and log on once more, click continue, wait 30 seconds for the login to complete, then try to backup once more.

If you still have problems: log off, then turn aeroplane mode on, wait 10 seconds, turn aeroplane mode off, wait 30 seconds for the wifi to reconnect, login, click continue, wait 30 seconds for the login to complete, then try to backup once more.

The final thing to try, force close the RR3 app, then with the Wifi on, relaunch RR3, then try to backup once more. If this still doesn't work, the FM server is probably having problems, again.

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.
 * FM FAQ RR3 Cloud Save - How to Restore your Save from the Cloud

Note: Before you cloud restore, it is important to login into the same Social Profiles you had previously connected to Real Racing, when cloud saving. Especially if multiple Social Profiles are used!

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, you can start the next stage and service your car without any restrictions.

The Target is too High, How do I Reduce it?
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 the biggest data track to load, close the game, go off line (aeroplane 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.

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. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be any race in Le Mans during Road to Le Mans.

When is the last time I can start this Event?
Since the event has been added to the racing career there is no end date restrictions, you must complete Road to Le Mans to unlock Vertex Series and continue the racing career.

Will this event be added to the race series?
Yes, Road to Le Mans was added to the career race series in since update 3.2.0 it's in the Legend racing career. To unlock, player must earn 35 trophies in the Zenith Series

Will the car be available to win in the future?
The Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014) is sometimes available to win, other times it's only a R$250,000 reward, so the Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014) can be purchased.

Can I buy the car?
The Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014) is available in the Endurance Kings race series in the legend Series. It can be purchased for 950 (or 760  in Endurance Kings's showcase event)

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.

The Porsche 919 Hybrid (2014) is not an essential car to reach the last race in the career, but is highly advisable to buy one of the LMP1 (2014) cars to farm the 10 lapper in Endurance Kings, unless you already have one or more of the 2015 LMP1 cars and are farming Endurance Champions, you only need to farm one 10 lapper :)

What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote: My recommendation is to start the level 1 upgrades as soon as the event 7 is started, as they take ****, there is no need to wait for them to complete before doing continuing the events. As soon as level 1 upgrades are complete start level 2 upgrades. Only R$ upgrades are required, as long as you slow the bots (see Time Shifted Multiplayer]])

How much do the upgrades cost?
