Real Racing 3: Personal Reference Archive (2019–2025)
I’ve compiled a comprehensive visual database of 44 top-tier vehicles, documented across every major track in the game. This collection is designed as a technical reference for lines, performance, and historical progress.
What’s inside:
Complete Track Coverage: Includes recent additions like Interlagos and Sebring, alongside "hidden" or rare circuits such as Monte Carlo and Yas Marina.
Race Dynamics: High-intensity 2–3 lap sprints for P1.
Circuit Study: Duplicate tracks feature "no-opponent" runs to provide a clear, unobstructed view of the racing lines and braking zones.
Historical Context: A linked legacy album showcases early Online Multiplayer races from 2020–2021.
Each video includes full technical specs (PR, Car, Track) in the description.…
Goodbye RR3??? December 2025
With the looming threat of RR3 being pulled from online access, it occurred to me that playing in airplane mode is something I do often to bring the in-game opponents for less demanding Endurance challenges for example.
This beckons the question - when they expire the game in March of 2026, will it truly be just GONE? Or will it be playable as in airplane mode? Just no cloud services?
Thoughts?

Contemplations part 2
Catalunya Hockenheim National were the places where I achieved historic firsts: my first Group B then my first Group A five years ago. They had been places where the spirit of competition had infused my being, where I continued to achieve historic success in the years to come, particularly the double pole in August. And there was promise this week. I started really well, Catalunya is a strong track of mine, and the ID.R is a strong car of mine historically.
But now, in November, these are the tracks and cars where the muse is deserting me near completely. I couldn't push the ID.R at Turn 5. The forces were too hard at Turn 4, trying not to spin off track. The final chicane comes by far too fast for me to react, even more than the Rimac thro…
Real Racing 3 is seemingly on its deathbed: What does that mean for me?
On December 8th, 2025, I am forecasted to reach a coveted milestone: 200 Group A's in WTT. That's the equivalent of 8 weeks short of getting Group A every week for four years in a row; to get that, I would need to extend the streak to February 2nd, 2026. That's actually not too far from the truth, as ever since Group A #51, I have not missed a single one, and hence will reach 150 consecutive A's simultaneously. That's almost 3 years in a row, a serious feat.
So the question bears: How much longer will I go? Well, how much longer CAN I go? I'm going to be honest with you all: that could be it, or a few weeks more. Because let's be real: The situation regarding the game's life expectancy has seriously deteriorated since these 8 week slogfests…
Commercials nowadays...aaaarrrrgggg
It's a LIE that the commercials notify you "You Have Earned Your Reward," only to have to click through FIVE (5) more screens and a minute and a half later, before you actually get the reward. That totally makes me not want to watch commercials anymore. Surely the bean counters at Firemonkey are seeing the reduced number of clicks. They need to not lie about rewards being granted, when clearly it's far from rewarded yet.
Literally the only thing that irritates me about the game (except the TEAMS feature that won't come back, and isn't being removed from the nav menu either).
September 26th, 2025. Friday Check-in
Hey community and old-timers. Wanted to drop a line and see everyone is good? I never really quit playing the RR3, but don't play every day, and when I do, I don't play but a race or two. Occasional updates I'll play flashbacks if I didn't finish it the first time. I don't see much has changed except the bloated prices of stuff and new cars still added every update (the appeal of the game in one sense).
Personally, life is a roller-coaster.
I can't see anything that competes with RR3 still. It's the best racer out there. Good job dev team, and outstanding job to the admin team I handed the reigns to. Kudos and God bless everyone...

September 8th: Infamy and Irony
September 8th, 2021 was one of the most infamous days of my RR3 career. After trying all week, I had finally put in a lap good enough to get me my 5th Group A (which sounds ludicrous given I'm at 188 at the time of writing!!). That was in the Lamborghini Huracan Performante at Dubai International, with the McLaren Senna featured as a second car. But at the final corner, at 4am, I lost the rear end just enough to lose me the time I needed. I set a 1:07.582, just 0.022 seconds away from Group A. Devastating at the time, but there were much better things to come later that day. So every cloud has a silver lining I guess.
Later that day, I also upgraded the Koenigsegg Regera to 4333232 (20/30) when v9.7 rolled out, in what would turn out to be…
Endurance events after 13.6 update
! finally got myself to the state where I can run the Porsche Concept endurance event, and get up to 100miles before letting it run down. Then up comes update 13.6 and all hell breaks loose. I now find that I have a number of 'spontenouse' crashes from 'invisiblel cars, that suddenly spin me out on various sections of the course. These are all, from behind, either long after I have overtaken a car, or just simply, out of thin air! I generlly manage to recover, but of course, lose a lot of time! I it is now becoming a strain to get much past 50 miles. Does anyone else have this problem?
Cheapest cars with Exclusive Series
Exclusive series are one of the best things in Real Racing 3. But they are very expensive and a lot of times not worth to get, but there are some very good expectations. First, I mention the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-SPEC (R34).
This car is only 35.600 R$ to buy, and then only 52.300 R$ and 3 gold to upgrade. And then in its exclusive series you get 41 gold and 41.000 R$ just for completion, and extra hundred thousands of R$ as race rewards, and this car is in another series too, so it's absolutely worth it. Here's the article about it: NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R V-SPEC (R34).
The next car is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.
This car is 168.900 R$, which is much more expensive than the last car, but it is much stronger too. It is 146.900 R$ and 19 gold…

F1® 1990 and 2025 V8 SuperCars Update
AND IT'S HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY!! THIS IS AMAZING! Live the 1990 Season 35 years on, including *that* iconic moment at Suzuka, in the newest update! Included is a new track: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve!
New Track
- Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
Holding the Formula 1® Canadian Grand Prix in most years since 1978, its calendar slot during the month of June (until 2026) makes for a vibrant atmosphere with pleasant days (or thunderstorms) along the St. Lawrence River and the longest days of the year. It was renamed to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 1982 in honor of the legendary Ferrari driver, who died that year, and had won the initi…
Top 10 fastest cars
- Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut: This Swedish hypercar aims to break speed records, with some estimations suggesting a top speed exceeding 310+ mph (500+ km/h). Its design focuses on extreme low drag.
- Bugatti Bolide: This track-focused Bugatti has an estimated top speed of over 310 mph (500 km/h). It prioritizes lightweight construction and aerodynamics.
- Hennessey Venom F5: An American-made hypercar with a verified top speed of 310.7+ mph (499.9+ km/h). Its powerful twin-turbocharged V8 engine produces over 1,800 horsepower.
- Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+: This variant of the Chiron reached a verified top speed of 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h), making it the first production car to break the 300 mph barrier.

Which one is a better car to drive, pleasing without any driving Assists, Mazda RX-7 SPIRIT R (FD) or Honda NSX-R ?
I was thinking of owening a new car but couldn't decide upon which JDM to pick from the two.
Test
Spa-Francorchamps makes it come-back in WTTT for the first time since September 2024 and believe it or not, I live in Belgium (although I live closer to another track, namely Circuit Zolder)! This should be a pretty fun week since we're provided with relatively slow but very grippy cars, which should be a perfect match for Spa's fast corners.
Performance wise, the BWM M8 GTE will be best. Although it doesn't accelerate as fast as the Porsche 911 RSR (2014), it has the highest grip and the strongest brakes. Its top speed is on par with the Porsche's. Interestingly, the last time the BMW M8 GTE was given the honors of a WTTT, was in December 2023 at Mount Panorama and it was already facing the Porsche 911 RSR (2014). Guess what, the BMW won. …
My Group A History in WTT/TTC's
I wanted to create this blog post for my past time trial achievements because i know that success and good form only last so long. As Seb once said: " We have to remember these days.

An RR3 Wellness Check
It's no secret that I've been doing A LOT lately. Outside the game, working on my current work and future career. Inside the game, sweating time trial, racking podiums like candies, making videos to help the community, and nearing 100 WTT Group A's in a row.
Cast your minds back a year and a half (feels like 15 years really) and I had announced "retirement" from Real Racing 3. Indeed, I did take a bit of a step down over Summer 2023, but returned to near-full capacity by the Fall. So what tempted me back?
To answer that question, I knew in the months leading up to June 2023 that the future past that was very uncertain. Mostly in a good way, it was going to be the next step and a new lease of life. But at the same time, I was incredibly anxio…

Road to Group A: My story
Introduction
Here I'll share my story on how I became a Group A TTC driver in Real Racing 3. I will conclude with Tips & Advise to become a faster driver. The sole purpose of this is to help others improve in the game but more importantly, I hope this will be an inspiration. Enjoy!
The Road
After viewing gameplay videos from ME7 and SMR, I started playing Real Racing 3 in late 2020 with the goal to have a full garage. Progress was slow, and I quickly realized that some currencies within the game are pretty scarce. At the time my only focus was series completion of the cars I owned, and Endless Endurance racing. The game felt more and more boring, as a result I stopped playing for a while.
A few months later...
A video on YouTube caught my eye, …

Time Trial Podium Showcase
Throughout my career, I have finished in the top 3 globally on many occasions, some more special than others. It is worth noting, however, that due to cheaters sometimes not being removed, some of these are unofficial, as in I may have finished 4th on the road when I really should have been 3rd. Those are disputed within the community, but I count them within this tally.
The update with the most podiums is the , with four podiums (one unofficial). This update had the lowest average position in best machinery of all time, with an average finishing position of 2.6 from five out of six weeks where I had the best car (overall average with a non-fully upgraded week is 14.5), including my first ever official pole position, a second place, and two t…

Parting Thoughts
The game left me several updates ago, but just getting around to parting thoughts.
The negatives simply outweighed the positives. The biggest negative is repeat upgrade sales for the same cars all the time while other non-Ferraris have never had a sale. The second biggest problem is re-occurring ad problems that never seem to get a permanent fix. Thirdly, no discount sales for F1 upgrades, or any other M$ content for that matter. The list goes on and on. I can’t think of any positives at the moment.
Will still play casually from time to time but other mobile games occupy most of the gaming time. Started playing in 2014, so 2024 seems like a good time to stop. It is sad that the game went downhill the last few years.
Past Weekly Time Trial Performance Testing
This is an archive of my updately WTT performance testing. For the current version, see User blog:LamboCoin Cars/Weekly Time Trial Performance Testing.
There are very little career time trials to base WTT off on, but at least I have access to most of the races this time. The one I am least confident on is Porsche Test Track during Week 2, where the gaps are a lot smaller than my provisional Suzuka test. To be fair, those are two completely different circuits, and that was decently expected.
