Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-25956839-20180415145703

The Most Profitable Races project page has recently been updated. This change prompted a discussion on IFresternoch’s wall (here). Which in turn has highlighted problems with this page, the community needs to give feedback and their opinion regarding the future of this page.


 * The article has been around, in one form or another, from an early version of this RR3 wiki, probably ~2013.
 * MV Brothers updated most of the times in 2016, using his FU cars and time as a guide.
 * Without a time the data is the same as:
 * RR3 Wiki:All Series (sorted by R$ or Fame) 2018-04-15 15 03 29-RR3 Wiki All Series Real Racing 3 Wiki.png
 * Series and Special Events (sorted by R$ or Fame)
 * RR3 Wiki:Real Racing 3 Tips and FAQ
 * New series have lower fame/min, meaning this page’s content is static.
 * The page hasn’t been updated for several years, until IFresternoch’s edit.
 * Le Mans costs have recently been changed, although most of “top paying” events have not changed! They need to be confirmed for changes.

Time The recent discussion has, in particular, highlighted the subjective nature of time used. If different players run an event they would set a different time, with different skill level, upgrades assists etc.
 * Should a time be included?
 * If so what time should be used?
 * An average bot’s (e.g. oooo! - bot #25) time to use?
 * What happens if the bot drives a different car, what time is used?
 * Multiple players time averaged?
 * How should the time be ‘standardised’

Criteria is currently: Without Clean Race Bonus (CRB) or any other external multiplier, the submitted race must meet at least 3 (Endurance and autocross events only need to meet both per minute requirements to make the list) of the following requirements (within a 1% range(If it is within 1 % below the requirement, it will still be accepted)):


 * At least BRL50,000 in total
 * At least BRL5,000 per minute
 * At least 5,000 Fame in total
 * At least 1,000 Fame per minute

The criteria are difficult to understand. There are regular comments left asking if events meet the criteria. The event has to be run and the BRL and fame reward divided by the time taken to give an average BRL or fame/minute.
 * Should the criteria be changed to reduce the number of “most profitable” events?
 * Should the criteria be simplified to make it easier to understand?
 * Should Autocross and Endurance events have their own table and criteria?

How useful is the article?
 * If the article isn’t useful it could be archived.
 * If it is of use:
 * would it still be useful without a time?
 * Would it be better to sort an existing page?

The opinion of RR3 community will form the future of this project page, so please leave your thoughts.
