Dark Matter is a Special Event in Real Racing 3. It gives players the chance to win the Koenigsegg Gemera.
Dark Matter is part of Round 8, Season 3 of Koenigsegg Gemera Update (v12.5), and can be accessed through the Round Hub button on the Home tab.

This Event is available to start on Wednesday, July 10th, 2024 until the Round ends on Monday, August 12th, 2024 at 20:00 UTC. When the Round ends, the Event will be locked, unless the Event has been started before the end of the Round and 5-day term is not over. Acquiring the car unlocks the Event, and completion rewards are obtainable still.
Since the player has owned the car, the Event is available for completion, until the Round is expired.

This is a recommended PR event, so the player is allowed to enter any race regardless of the car's PR.

The Event consists of five Stages. The next Stage unlocks immediately after the previous stage is completed.

The player is granted with free and instant car service and instant upgrades R&D, which are available within 3 hours of entering the Event, before the end of the Round.
