RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for Redline: Origins

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

Description
Redline: Origins is a special event in Real Racing 3 and was added to the Master category with the Race Teams Update (v3.3). It is unlocked after collecting 17 trophies in Euro Supercar Duel and gives the players a chance to win the Ferrari 375 F1.

Previous progress is not carried over. The player will have to race every goal again.

The event comprises a wide range of cars, especially the Ferrari 375 F1, Caterham Seven 620 R and Ferrari LaFerrari

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 Redline: Origins 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.

Start / End Strategy
The player has # days to complete the # stages, the event is # days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end # 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 #, in total there will be # x 24 hours = # hours to complete all stages.

For example:

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

You need to choose the best time for you to start Redline: Origins 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, #date#, 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 #day#, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage # 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 #No# weeks, as the next release is expected ##. 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!

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.

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 mid day 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 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 Ferrari 375 F1 is available to win if the challenge is completed in ## days, after ##-### the Ferrari 375 F1 can be purchased.

<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:
