RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for Ride The Storm

RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for Ride the Storm

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

Description
Ride the Storm is an event in Real Racing 3. It gives the players a chance to win the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, after version 4.0 was updated. Ride the Storm starts 10-Dec-2015.

The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 has been added to the International Power-Match series, located in the Elite racing career.

The event comprises a wide range of cars, especially the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4....

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 FireMonkeys (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:

Start / End Strategy
The player has 7 days to complete the 7 stages, the event is 7 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end 7 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is normally straight forward 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 continue the following day. The next stage 02, will unlock at midnight providing stage 01 is completed, stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage 07, in total there will be 7 x 24 hours = 168 hours to complete all stages.

For example:

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

You need to choose the best time for you to start Ride the Storm 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, 10-Dec, 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 Sunday, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage 07 of the event can be completed over two days, the following Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately there maybe a short time to start this event! It maybe only open for two weeks, as the next event Reign Supreme is expected to start 24th December. 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.

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 lose do a cloud restore,  this will save a long service after the longer, endurance, cup and NASCAR 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, the soonest you can service the car is at midnight.

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 lose 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
RR3 Michael P wrote: 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:
 * App source: RR3 graphics: This app lets you set a desired video graphics quality for RR3 game.


 * Webpage for more information: hitex.lt RR3 Graphics Project

When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact date is unknown, however Reign Supreme is starting 24th December, if this event isn't started before that date it will not be possible to start. Historically there is a couple of days gap between events ending and new ones starting.

Will this event be added to the race series?
FM went though a spell of adding special events ot the series, the last time a special event was added was NASCAR Academy, previous to that was a year ago v3.0 with MotorFiesta 1, it is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the career.

Will the car be available to win in the future?
The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 is available to win if the challenge is completed in 7 days, after 22nd December the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 can be purchased.

Can I buy the car?
The Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 has been added to the International Power-Match series, located in the Elite racing career. It costs 450 or 360  with showcase discount, after 22nd December.

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.

What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote: My recommendation is to start the upgrades as soon as the challenge start as they take ## minutes/hours, 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. Normally only R$ upgrades are required, as long as you slow the bots, see Time Shifted Multiplayer and Methods to slow bots down)

Tips about Ride the Storm Stage 01:

Guillejarque wrote:

First stage focuses on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. It doesn't have too much grip. You should take advantage from its top speed. Try to take all the corners nice and easy, it skids easily. Braking is pretty OK but acceleration isn't good.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 1.1: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Road course - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Normally the first day is straight forward, and can be completed without upgrades, I recommend stage 1 upgrades. In these races the player will drive the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The into mentions Monza.

Guillejarque wrote:

Pretty much a ride rather than a race; if you can't get lead by cutting the first chicane, try it in the next one, surely there you will find the first place.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 1.2: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Juniour course - Finish any lap with an average speed of 100 mph (160 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): There is nothing about winning, so just cross the line with an average 100 mph (160 kph) speed, if the average is high slow down on the finish straight.

Guillejarque wrote:

You can try to stick behind some bot with your pace at Parabolica and then full throttle in the straight. Corners 1, 2& 3 are kinda difficult, the perfect racing line is inside-outside-inside.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 1.3: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Road course - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Into mentions racing against a Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, an inferior car, remember to win by a small margin.

Virags wrote: Car : Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. I ended up holding the other driver behind me by braking at the 3rd last turn for about a minute. This made the total lap time well above 3 minutes to slow bots down in the future. Make sure you get the last turn right, i slowed down in the end to cross at 136 mph.

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Hunter is one lap, so will take the most car damage, I find the Autocross is normally easier than the Speed Snap (my preference) although the speed snap is normally slightly shorter.

Virags : I chose Speed Snap because it is shorter, Got a Target of 125.7mph from bot Richie Rich. I finished at 129.19mph. Fame - 300, R$- 1,450.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 4.3: Event? at ? - ? - at Win this race while crossing the finish line at no more than 32 mph (52 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Goal reads: "Strong brakes need to be matched with a high top speed to ensure victory, so win this race while crossing the finish line at no more than 32 mph (52 kph), braking heavily before the end. This should be easier with a steering setup that favours coasting" (Tilt A), a good lead is required before the end to allow heavy breaking or coasting to the line, with a maximum speed of 32 mph (52 kph).

Virags : Did the lap normally, no Pit or slow down bots. Just slowed down at the end to cross the line below 32mph. The lap is pretty big, took me over 2 minutes to finish the lap so enough time to build a lead and slow down at the finish. Be careful if you are going to stop and accelerate at the end, the Huracan accelerates pretty fast and can reach 32mph quickly at the finish line. Fame - 900, R$ - 5,905

Virags : I used the Gallardo so that I can use the Huracan for the final race of stage 4. Did not slow down the bots, first bot was 4.5 miles. Easy race, service the Gallardo, may need it in future. .. Fame - 1350, R$ - 8,625

<font color="#00FF00">Event 4.5: Event? at ? - ? - Win with an average speed of 94 mph (150 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote: The goal into reads "And now for the showdown against the R8 V10 Coupe! Win with an average speed of 94 mph (150 kph)." Maybe a Cup or Head to Head, again maintain a good average speed, but try to PIT and slow the bots, allowing the options to slow to 94 mph (150 kph) on the finish straight, but still keep over it and win!

Virags: Cup race against 7 other Audi R8 V10’s. Reached average speed of 104mph but slowed down at the end to cross at 95mph.  Service the Huracan so you use it for Day 5 . Fame - 1800, R$ - 11,825'''Reward for Completing Stage 4 - 5GC. I am not sure if I slowed down the bots too much, but races seem to be really really easy. '''

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race info): The intro is a bit misleading: Dodge - maybe bringing in a 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X. Therefore, I've got the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 - the racing variant (is this is the GT3?).

<font color="#00FF00">Event 5.1: Event? at Circuit de Catalunya - ? - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Into just states to win this quick race, again get to the lead and slow the bots.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 5.2: Event? at ? - ? - Win this event (with limited fuel)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Into states “Choose one of your Lamborghini's and see if you can beat me in my Race Spec Lamborghini [ GT3 ]. We don't want to spend too long here, so I'll give each of us a limited amount of fuel. You'll have to use the accelerator sparingly to avoid running out of fuel.” Tilt A will be required, coast before the corner, instead of braking, may need to get to 1st and PIT the leader, may start in 1st, PIT the Race Spec bot as it tries to pass.

<font color="#00FF00">Event 5.3: - Win one of these events

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Into states “...varying length and road difficulty…” the shortest one will be best for car damage, (see How often does a car need servicing?)

<font color="#00FF00">Event 5.4: Event? at ? - ? - Win this event without a lap time more than 1:20

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Target a lap time of 1:19 :)

<font color="#00FF00">Event 5.5: Event? at ? - ? - Win with an average speed of 95 mph (152 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): ”Rusty, and he's in a Dodge ACR-X” probably a Cup, will need to keep an average average speed of 95 mph (152 kph) and still win, PIT and slow the bots if they are fast enough.
