Goal 1.1: Cup, Red Bull Ring - Grand Prix Circuit 2 Laps - Complete the practice laps - Recommended PR93.8

Goal 1.2: Autocross, Red Bull Ring - Grand Prix Circuit - Place at least 2nd - Recommended PR93.8

Goal 1.3: Cup, Red Bull Ring - Grand Prix Circuit 1 Lap - Finish whilst skidding at least 2 times, but no more than 4 times - Recommended PR93.8

Amrosa wrote: Goal 1.1 - Use these two laps to experiment with the capabilities of the car. Try to take corners flat out; test brake points. See what causes the car to skid. There is no time limit, and there should be plenty of Green Bars to practice here a bit, even retrying.

Goal 1.3 - Drive smoothly, do not carry too much speed into the corners and do not accelerate too soon, until the final turn, then turn in a little more than necessary. This should kick out your back-end; the recovery should get you the second skid, then just straighten it out and bring it across the line.

( the first bot/car is fast, so spin it out on its left hand side so that it will slow down and make other cars slow down, plus it gives you a clear path to make that right turn at the beginning )

Amrosa wrote: Goal 2.1 - You will be racing against 5 Ferrari 375 F1s. Pass, allow them to pass you back, then pass again adds to your overtake counter. You do not need to lap any of the cars to get the required 8 overtakes.

Goal 2.3 - Similar to Goal 2.1, the counter ticks over when you pass the lapped opponent. You can then allow them to pass you come around and then finish a few meters ahead of them, to attempt to manage bots for later Stages.

SM Racer wrote: Day 2 doable but non-trivial with no upgrades 2.1, this one is in fact trivial

2.2 speed record with 4 seconds off allowed. Back straight seems to be the fastest section (so no point turning around at the start), but had to run off at the end, used 3.2 seconds of off track. Target was 178.06mph (286.56kph).

2.3. Lap the 5 375s. It helped a lot to pit Fiore on the front straight, while still getting a good run through turn 1, and even then you don't want any death slides. Without the pit manouevre I couldn't catch him running ~39.0 sec laps, though I did get pretty close.

I can't believe this works! All you have to do is back up until you're disqualified and hit retry. Every second time the time will drop. I didn't realize it was this easy!

Amrosa wrote: Stage 03 is achievable with only R$ upgrades (1111111). It may take some time and many retries, but all goals for the Stage can be one at this level of upgrade, even though this is two upgrades less than the Recommended PR of 98.3.

For Goal 3.2 the race automatically ends when you cross the finish line with a time of less than 1:37. You have to push to get 1:37 with 1111111, but you can do it if you take advantage of the dynamics of high down force.

For Goal 3.3, the Red Flag seems very arbitrary, and what constitutes damage is difficult to describe. Ran into cars, slid broadside into a wall and all good, keep racing. Then I would receive the slightest touch on a rear wheel as I passed a bot and immediate Red Flag.

For Goal 3.4 you can do 262+ kph in a serviced 1111111 car. The normal line through the turn doesn't work. Watch ME7's video to see how to set up to maximize the acceleration up the hill.

Amrosa wrote:

4.4 took some retries, but not too bad. The slipstreaming can change your brake points and effect your grip, so you have to be a bit careful. I usually take the outside line at La Source, but here, because I saw after a few attempts that I needed to catch up with Zoé on Kemmel Straight to have any hope of getting 1,500m and then not have to deal with the bad effects of slipstreaming, I muscled my way through the center, came out 3rd or 4th, then blew past them at Eau Rouge, giving me enough speed to pick up Zoé's draft on the Kemmel. I was at about 1,350m at Les Combes, so I stayed with her a little longer and when it ticked to 1,500m I worked past her between turns 8 and 9. Then it was just a matter of not skidding or getting passed.

If you haven't run a lot of NASCAR Events, Slipstream gives you a push from behind as well as a pull when you are behind a car. This can unsettle the car, so be prepared for it. Zoé is fast, but she still exhibits her weakness of not being a great passer, so you can brake a little earlier, and she isn't going to get a great run on you to pass or try and pit you.

One thing I will say, the car felt a lot better at 1222222 than at 1111111. There was more opportunity to attack the track at 1222222 and be more aggressive in turns. This is one car were the upgrades are making a significant difference.

Tips about Fearless Stage 05 (Italian Tour):


 *  Tips 

RR3 Michael P wrote: Continue to follow methods to slow bots down

Goal 5.1: Head To Head, Autodromo Nazionale Monza – Road Course - 1 Lap - Win without damaging your car - Recommended PR102.2

RR3 Michael P wrote: There is no off-track clause, so cut turn 1 to give a good headstart, BA off, SA low or off, TC off. Pause and turn assists back on if required.

Goal 5.2: Cup, Autodromo Nazionale Monza – Road Course - 1 Lap - Win this event rolling start (Managing 2.5 litres of fuel, no Heads Up Display (HUD). Using manual controls: Tilt B or Wheel B or Wheel B (Flipped))- Recommended PR102.2

RR3 Michael P wrote: The trick to manage fuel is to use lift and coast, BA off, the lap ends at the beginning of the first lap. Try not to brake, instead lift before the braking point and coast around the corner, it is surprising how much fuel can be saved and speed carried. Try and be aggressive to take the lead, another thing I try and do is PIT the lead bot, this is sometimes risky but can give a little extra time to coast into the last turn.

Goal 5.3: Elimination, Autodromo Nazionale Monza – Road Course - Reach a top speed of at least 201 mph (324 kph) 2 times and win - Recommended PR102.2

RR3 Michael P wrote: The back straight into Curva Parabolica and the main straight are the two best straights. Again cut turn 1 and get a lead, turn BA off in turn 8 (Variante Ascari) and power down to Curva Parabolica, once 201 mph is reached brake, with a lead some off track will be OK. Then power down the start straight brake once 201 mph is reached. The 2:20 cut off was around Curve de Lesmo for me.

Goal 5.4: Cup, Autodromo Nazionale Monza – Road Course - 2 Lap - Win with a lead of at least 602 yd (550 m) - Recommended PR102.2

RR3 Michael P wrote: This was fun! Again cut turn 1 and if things are tight cut Variante Della Roggia too. Good clean driving with no skids or sliding off track is important. If a big lead is achieved wait by the line, but be careful the lead bot is fast, cross with 700 yds on the counter.


 *  Reports 

Amrosa wrote: Goal 5.2 is a strange goal that really doesn't give you enough information to run it. Basically:
 * 1) You are starting the race mid-lap between turn 5 and the beginning of Curve di Lesmo (6 and 7)
 * 2) It is a Rolling Start
 * 3) You are in 7th place and have to get to first before the end of the lap
 * 4) The HUD does not show what position you are in, what position the other cars are in, driver name, or their distance ahead of you.
 * 5) Your car has a limit of 2.5 units of fuel, which can run out before you cross the start/finish.
 * 6) If you look at the Starting Grid screen, you will see 6 cars in front of you. 5 are Ferrari 412 T2s and one is the McLaren MP4/4 driven by Zoé. She is usually in first place, so you need to pass her and stay ahead of her and the other 5 Ferrari's when you cross the line in order to win
 * 7) The 5th place car is going to be right in your line if you accelerate immediately and turn flat out at 6. Trying to get around them wastes a lot of momentum.
 * 8) If you hesitate for a fraction of a second at the start before accelerating, you can get a great run off of 6 and 7 and be able to get into third before Variante Ascari. Here you need to line up the turn and gun it past the second place car and Zoé.
 * 9) If you carry this momentum through Ascari, you should be able to accelerate to Parabolica and then coast a bit to conserve fuel.
 * 10) When Zoé starts to close, get back on the throttle. You should have just enough fuel to make it to the finish line. If you run out short, try to defend and keep Zoé behind you while you coast over the line.

5.3 will require upgrade for top speed (unless your name is Speed Junkie, apparently). I recommend 1131111.

After Restore, i have done Stage 5 with only R$ Upgrades



ME7 report:

5.1 having some fun pitting the bot and stretching the race.

5.2 I was very close to making this cleanly once or twice. However after trying it 50 + times I was getting a little bit impatient. I opted to use a few pit maneuvers and barely finished!

5.3 Well that was frustrating. With R$ I managed to hit 324 kph on 2 separate occasions but only in one spot. It wasn't enough track for me to lift the gas and get back over 324 again. If you lift and press again to quickly it doesn't count. So I spent 60 Gold on the body upgrade and then did the tier 3 R$ body upgrade. That gave me three separate spots I could hit 324 kph at.

5.4 I decided to have a little bit of fun with it, but didn't want to mess around too much and lose the race. Unfortunately I finished by more than I needed to.

6.2 is nearly impossible with 1131111. It took me 2 hours in total to pass the goal. I could do it under 16 seconds, and I could get 1st in the speed snap, but it was so difficult to get both at the same time.

ME7 wrote: 6.2 I warped ahead to try 6.3 and it was easy. 6.4 is very hard though, even with 1131113. So I warped back to 6.2, put on those upgrades and eventually had a great run. 6.1 could easily be done with no upgrades at all.



6.3 Pretty easy, even with some minor contact and bad corners.



6.4 The important thing here is to get into third place as fast as possible. Then let fourth-place pass you and pit him. You're going to have to do it again before you get to the end of the long straight away. Then you should be able to just lift the throttle instead of braking for the most part and the car won't overheat.

Start / End Strategy
The player has 8 days to complete the 8 stages, the event is 8 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end 8 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is normally straightforward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if stage 01 isn't completed the first day, it can be continued the following day. Stage 02, will automatically unlock at midnight, but can only be raced once stage 01 is complete. Stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage 8. In total there will be 8 x 24 hours = 192 hours to complete all stages.

For example:

Start Saturday @ 7:30 PM the event will end 8 days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

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

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): I wouldn't recommend starting the event on the first day, Saturday, as many racers, who start as soon as the event opens, complain about bugs, which FM then fix! Instead, leave the start a day or two and let other people do the bug testing. Also, the tips and details can be filled in by the early adopters, so starting a day or two later gives a better heads up.

Ideally, for racers who are busy Monday to Friday and have the weekend free, the best day and time to start is as late as possible Saturday, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage 8 of the event can be completed over two days, the following Saturday and Sunday. There is short time to start this event. It may be only open for 5 days, as the next event, Gameonix 2017 Ford GT Championship, is expected Jan 6th. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact date is unknown, normally 1 - 2 weeks.

The way FM display the date isn't very clear, they use a rounding factor. The days and hours remaining, to start, is changing at midday or on the half hour. The closing date and time displayed is a cautious closing date and time. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went through a spell of adding special events to the racing career, the last time a special event was added was September 2015 v3.6, NASCAR Academy was added directly to the NASCAR career, without previously being released as a Time Limited Event (TLE). Previous to that was April 2015 v3.3, with Redline: Origins and MotorFiesta 1. It is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the racing career.

Will the car be available to win in the future?
The McLaren MP4/4 is available to win if the challenge is completed in 8 days, after Dec 28th the McLaren MP4/4 can be purchased.

With the introduction of Flashback Special Events, it maybe possible to repeat this special event in the future.

Can I buy the car?
The McLaren MP4/4 is available in one series:
 * MP4/4 Historia bonus series in the Legend category

This vehicle was added in the Real Racing 3 Red Bull Ring Update (v6.0.0) released of Dec 2017 and can be unlocked by earning ?? trophies in Campionato Scuderia Ferrari.

This vehicle can be acquired for 950. It can sometimes be bought for ?? as a 'Get it Now' price, unlocking MP4/4 Historia.

This vehicle is available to win in the following special event:
 * Fearless

What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race): Since Generations, if the players car is far below the recommended PR level the bots run impossible times. Once the car is upgraded the bots return to normal times. Slowing the bots works, only when the PR requirements are close. Some goals have fixed top bots. Possible upgrade strategies:
