	CAMRY (JOE GIBBS RACING - 2016)

Daytona 500 - Joe Gibbs Racing was part of the The DAYTONA 500 special event in Real Racing 3, starting from 16 February and ending 4 March. It was added with the Daytona 500 Update (v4.1.5) and released to coincide with the 58th Daytona 500.

Players have the chance to win the TOYOTA CAMRY (JOE GIBBS RACING - 2016).

This NASCAR vehicle has been added to the NASCAR All-Star Series career series, and the Matt Kenseth's Champion Cup bonus series in the NASCAR group.

If this is the first car attempted in the special event, each stage is unlocked the next day. If the player finishes all of the stages, they can keep the car with all modifications and upgrades. This includes any damage caused, so the player will still have to pay to get it repaired, which takes 3 hours!

If this car is attempted second, third or fourth, all stages are unlocked straight away.
