By setting a low time, but still coming first, it's still possible to still lower the AI of bots, think about a Time Trial time, if you set a set a slow time it lowers the AI. |- |[[Drag Race]] |style="text-align:left;"|Win by a small marginOnce ready to go, use the gears to slow the car, once passed the bot go up through the gears, but watch the bot doesn't speed up / close the gap, or if close to the line go down a gear to brake. |- |[[Elimination]] |style="text-align:left;"|Elimination events are normally of the best opportunities to lower the bots AI, however for Gauntlet events losing it not an option, it is therefore better to look after the car, so prevent damage, either run the race and keep it clean, four wheels on the track, or keep the lead but slow down the bots so the car doesn't travel as far, so takes less damage. | |- |[[Endurance]] |style="text-align:left;"|Endurance events are normally one of the best opportunities to lower the bots AI, however for Gauntlet events losing it not an option, the only way to not increase the AI of the bots is to win by a small margin, as son as 1st is passed stop. | |- |[[Head To Head]] |style="text-align:left;"|Win by a small marginOnce in 1st place, use the same technique as cup events, slow the bot down. Quite often a single bot will not push you once stopped, so you can easily hold it up for 20 seconds, then go for it. Wait at the line to reduced the time set, but still win. |- |[[Hunter]] |style="text-align:left;"|Win by a small marginOnce passed the 1st place marker, slow down and maintain a small distance advantage ahead, when near the line slow to reduce the distance, but still win. It's also possible to spin out the [[NISSAN SILVIA (S15)]] to reach 1st, but be careful not to set a top distance. Final point, the [[NISSAN SILVIA (S15)]] can be on a different section as track from you, e.g. If 1st place marker is 1,000 yds behind. The [[NISSAN SILVIA (S15)]] could be going flat out down a straight while you’re in a hairpin or chicane, so the 1st place marker is going 1,000 yds behind the [[NISSAN SILVIA (S15)]], but travels at the same speed so doesn't slow for the chicane! The worst tracks have chicanes before the finish line, like Spa or Le Mans, learn from any losses, track knowledge will help in future events, sometimes waiting by the line is better, but be aware your stopped and 1st place marker could be going 120 MPH. |- |[[Time Trial]] |style="text-align:left;"|I haven't seen a TT in a Gauntlet, if there was set a very slow time, keep all four wheels of the car on track, to take the least damage. |- |[[Speed Record]] |style="text-align:left;"|Win by a small top speedIf your still struggling to reach first place, the start finish straight is normally the longest straight, you can do a U turn and drive the wrong way around the track, so once around the last turn, do another U turn, and blast down the straight, with all assists off, it doesn't matter if you fly off track at turn one. If the start/finish straight isn't the longest you can still use the no assists method to hit the top speed, again it doesn't matter if you fly off track. However once you reach 1st place brake, so you don't increase the AI of bots. In special events challenges there is quite often a no off track clause to stop this technique, forcing an upgrade to hit the required top speed. |- |[[Speed Snap]] |style="text-align:left;"|Win by a small margin.Do not set a low time at the line, tilt B will give better control to coast before the line, if you are too quick or brake and wait at the line, smashing the time will increase the AI. |} ==Start / End Strategy== This The Gauntlet (Season #) starts #### ## and runs for # days, there is no strategy to start late. ==Cloud Save / Restore== See [[RR3 Wiki:Real Racing 3 Tips and FAQ#Cloud Save / Restore]] * '''Note:''' If the first restore still displays the progress screen, try a cloud restore for a second time ==FAQ== ===How do Gauntlets Work?=== The Goal is to bank ###,000 points, which will win the [[##Make## ##Model##]]. The player starts with 20 tickets, each challenge requires 2 tickets to run. Challenges are separated into two types: # Standard challenges: Normally with a choice of cars as well as a random track, event type and different special conditions. The player is temporarily rewarded with points for winning the challenge. # Boss challenges: Normally with the goal car, random tracks with [[Head To Head]] or [[Cup]] races, against [[Characters#Magnus|Magnus]]. The special condition will be to win the race from no more than 5 seconds off-track, to 2 seconds, to no off track, as the run progresses. Winning the boss challenge will bank the points, won in standard challenges, since the previous boss challenge. Once the Boss challenge is won all points gained to that point are banked, so can not be lost. Once sufficient point have been won, the next rank is reached, R$ or {{Gold}} rewards are awarded, the car roster may also change, depending on the rank. The further the challenge the harder the condition, however more points are also rewarded. Points are only banked when the boss challenge is won. If the standard or boss challenge is lost, any points gained, since the previous boss challenge will be lost. Ending the run will keep all the banked points, only the temporary points will be lost, the rank and car roster will also remain the same, The Gauntlet will restart from challenge 1. If a challenge is lost, the payer has a menu with the following choices: # Retry: Pay with {{R$}} to retry the same challenge. Paying to retry does not use more tickets. # Skip: Pay with {{Gold}} to skip the challenge and go to the next challenge (not recommended) # End Run: Restart from challenge 1, with the same car roster, the challenges are gradually harder each run. There are countless strategies to achieve the goal of winning the car, for example: # Run every challenge with no restarts. The hardest method. Normally needs the standard and Boss cars to be upgraded to a high PR. # Run as many challenges as possible, by upgrading the boss car and possibly the standard challenge cars, once the player reaches an 'impossible' challenge, restart the run. # Run as many challenges as possible, without upgrading the cars with {{Gold}}, once the player reaches an 'impossible' challenge, restart the run. # Run as many challenges as possible, without upgrading the cars at all, once the player reaches an 'frustrating' challenge, restart the run. # Run two challenges and the boss challenge, to bank the points, then restarting the run. This allows players who have cars with no upgrades to still achieve the goal. ===Car Service=== How can I service the car when I already finished the boss challenge? The [[##Make## ##Model##]] can only be serviced on boss races. Other cars can be serviced in their car series, if owned, or during non-boss stages. ===The Target is too High, How do I Reduce it?=== Unlike special events, where losing reduces the target, for Gauntlet goals, if the challenge is not won, the only option is to restore from cloud, pay to retry (not recommended) or end the run and restart the challenge. It is possible to force close the challenge, which may reduce the target. Although force close and restart won't restore your ticket, restoring a save does Once the [[RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for The Gauntlet (Season #)#Cloud_Save_.2F_Restore|cloud save]] is completed, before a challenge is started, that challenge is then fixed, meaning if the challenge isn’t successfully completed, a [[RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for The Gauntlet (Season #)#Cloud_Save_.2F_Restore|cloud restore]] will return to the same challenge, giving the option to re-run it again, practice, practice, practice. However this also means if the 'fixed' challenge proves to be too difficult the only option is to end the run. ===The Game / Le Mans Keeps crashing=== See [[RR3 Wiki:Real Racing 3 Tips and FAQ#The Game / Le Mans Keeps crashing]] ===When is the last time I can start this Event?=== '''[[User:RR3 Michael P|Michael P]] wrote:'''Based on historic start and end times the means The Gauntlet (Season #) will start ### ## @ 00:00 UTC, and will automatically close # days later, ### ## @ ##:## UTC. ===Will this event be added to the race career?=== This is a new feature; it is unlikely to be added to the career. ===Will the car be available to win in the future?=== The [[##Make## ##Model##]] is available to win if the challenge is completed in # days, the [[##Make## ##Model##]] can be purchased. ===Can I buy the car?=== The [[##Make## ##Model##]] has been added to .... {{CrewQuote|Natalia|If you start to play the event, all upgrades, customization and VIP will remain on the car permanently, whether you acquire it from this event or buy it later.}} ===What is the minimum PR / upgrades required=== '''[[User:RR3 Michael P|RR3 Michael P]] wrote:'''My recommendation is to start the upgrades as soon as the first boss challenge is started as they take ## minutes, there is no need to wait for them to complete before doing continuing the events.
