RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for Light-Rider

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

Description
Light-Rider is an event in Real Racing 3. It gives the players a chance to win the Lotus Type 125, after Lotus Update (v4.4.1) was released. Light-Rider starts 18-July.

The event comprises a wide range of cars, especially the Lotus Type 125....##expand if required##

Tips and FAQ History
This is the fourth 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 Light-Rider anyone can edit this page, hopefully this will lead to many more editors adding useful content for everyone’s benefit.

Strategy
Real Racing 3 is a massive game designed by 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:

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 7, 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 Light-Rider 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, Monday 18th July:
 * 1) 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.
 * 2) The tips and details can be filled in by the early adopters, so starting a day or two later gives a better heads up.
 * 3) Recently FM have offered discount sales for upgrades, give the cost for upgrades, holding on for a few days, before upgrading, is a good idea. Update: 60% Discount on customization starting July 18th for 3 days.

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 24th, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage 7 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 is only open, to start, for 1 week ~24-July latest, 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!

How can I service the car when I already finished the day?
If the final car service is missed, after the final event on the day, the soonest it can service is at midnight (local time), when the next stage opens.

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 losing 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 shutdown (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 last start date is ~24-July. 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 mid day or on the half hour. The closing date and time displayed is a cautious closing date and time. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

The Gauntlet (Season 7) is estimated ~1-August.

 * RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for Light-Rider

Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went though 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 Lotus Type 125 is available to win if the challenge is completed in 7 days, after July 25th the Lotus Type 125 can be purchased from the Exos Experience bonus series part of the Elite category.

Can I buy the car?
The Lotus Type 125 is available in the Exos Experience bonus series part of the Elite category. This vehicle was added in the Lotus Update (v4.4.1) released in June 2016 and can be unlocked by unlocking Exos Experience or by completing the Light-Rider special challenge.

This vehicle can be acquired for 880.

<font color="#ffff00">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:

<font color="#00ff00">Goal 2.2: Head To Head at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Junior Course [2 laps] - Win event without going off track. - Recommended PR97.9

Racer KCain10r wrote: Goal 2.2

This turns out to be nearly 3 laps. I was on the brake almost right after the start.

I'm learning to make obtuse (>90 degrees) angle turns, just a quick lift and brake tap turns the 125, so throttle can be reapplied very quickly. More acute (<90 degree) angle turns, I'm learning new brake points, closer to the apex.

On the turn that joins the long straight, Ahmed can be stopped and slowed. Even with no upgrades, either you can remain in the lead, or catch him on or after the Parabolica. I found a dark line or shadow across the track, after the red rumble strip is a good brake point going into the Parabola. I am braking after the start/finish, after the sign over the track and 1.5 to 2 light poles after that sign. (Disclaimer: I don't own any race cars, yet, so maybe I'm learning things that other racers already know.)

<font color="#00ff00">Goal 2.3: Head To Head at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Junior Course [1 lap] - Win whilst driving at least 3 seconds off track. - Recommended PR98.7

Racer KCain10r wrote: Goal 2.3

When I go off track on the straight, I like to take Ahmed with me, so he doesn't race out ahead of me. Collecting off track time in turns is a good technique, too. Ahmed, as all bots are, is slower in turns. No Upgrades. PR was red.

<font color="#00ff00">Goal 2.4: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Junior Course [4 laps] Win this event. - Recommended PR99.5

Racer KCain10r: Slowed bots on lap 2 and 3. First lap I wasn't in front. Last lap, I didn't want to lose the front position. PR back in the green 99.5, 4 level 1 upgrades.

Montoym Report: Light Rider Stage 3

My Starting Stats – 7/28, PR 102.1 1111111

R$1,858,087 631GC

3.1 – Speed Record at Hockenheim, no brake assist, Recommended PR 100.4. Goal 172.1 – Won 1st attempt with 173.18mph. No problem since I’m over the recommended PR currently. Did go off-track a few times though, not used to no brake assist with this car.

3.2 – 4 Lap Cup at Hockenheimring National, must be at least 3rd after 1st lap, worse than 3rd at the end of the 2nd lap, then finish 1st, Recommended PR 101.2 – Used Mechanic here since it’s a 4 lap race. 1st lap, I got to 1st place and took out the 1st place bot and generally slowed the bots as well, 2nd place after 1st lap. 2nd lap, I slowed the bots much of the lap as well, then dropped back to 4th in the final turns before the end of the 2nd lap, used last two laps to get to 1st, PIT the lead bot then slow and allow the next bot to catch up and repeat. Finished in 1st place with a 7yd lead at 5:37.902 with Nielsen in 2nd at 5:38.157.

3.3 – 1 Lap Cup at Hockenheimring National, Drive the opposite direction and reach a speed of 170mph and finish within 1:25 (only car on the track, not a true Cup really), Recommended PR 102.1 - 1st attempt, reached 170mph fairly easily, but did not finish within 1:25. 2nd attempt, I finished easily within the 1:25, I even slowed at the end and ended up crossing the line at 1:24.508.

3.4 - 3 Lap Cup at Hockenheimring National, just win, no restrictions, Recommended PR 103.2 - Was in 1st place about ¾ through the 1st lap, spent the rest of the race Pitting bots and slowing them down. Finished in 1st about 10yds ahead of 2nd with a time of 4:04.368 and with Nielsen in 2nd at 4:04.611

Ahmed says Stage 4 will be in Dubai. Car is servicing and the last 2 initial R$ upgrades are in R&D and will be done by the time Stage 4 opens for me.

Finishing stats

PR 102.1 7/28 1111111

R$1,903,170 636GC

LoopGuy report: Goal 3.1

speed snap - I have 7 ugrades and easily did this on the back straight without having to optimize the previous turn or go off track at the next turn. Be careful not to go too much faster then required. Use cloud save and restore if you do.

Goal 3.2

Was in 3rd at the start of the 2nd lap (cut the first few corners to pass lots of cars), let the 3rd place car go ahead and was in 4th at the start of the 3rd lap, During the 4th (and last lap), the lead car started lapping traffic, slowed way down, and was easy to pass. Slowed down a lot in the last few corners to let the 2nd place car get closer.

Servicing car before goal 3.3

Goal 3.3

Don't worry about the speed requirement. You'll hit that on the back straight easy (ate least with 9 upgrdeas). Just learn the track backwards and make 1:25. I watched myself in videos to see what I had messed up.

Goal 3.4

Cut corners to pass cars, but this car definitely likes being on track otherwise, so don't go off track except to cut corners. A good run off the first turn, cutting the first corner without lifting, gets you up to the top 10. I think I was 7th after the second corner, 3rd after the first lap.

 *  Reports 
 * LoopGuy report:

4.1 - Speed Snap - Dubai Autodrome Club - 104.4 - fairly easy - stop on outside of turn near start of inside curb, then go and steer.

4.2 - Cup 3 laps rolling start on back straight - Dubai Autodrome Hill - 105.6 - Win with a qualifying time of less then 2:22 - Cut all the wiggles at the end of the back straight

4.3 - Cup 4 laps - Dubai Autodrome Oval - 106.7 - Reach an average speed of 101 mph (162 kph) at the end of any lap without going off track - no need to win, and it stops as soon as you reach the target speed at the line. I had to turn on traction control for this one, but managed to complete it after 2 laps. I found the speed first, then I went back and kept it on the track.

4.4 - Cup 3 laps - National - 107.9 - Straightforward cup. I've been cutting the wiggles when it turns away from the GP circuit.
