RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for The Gauntlet (Season 2)
The intention of this page is to keep tips and FAQ for The Gauntlet (Season 2) in one place, which will hopefully help people race this event.
Description[]
The Gauntlet (Season 2) is an event in Real Racing 3. It gives the players a chance to win the FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM, after the Ford Update (v4.0.5) was released.

Tips and FAQ History[]
This is the forth 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 Road To Le Mans anyone can edit this page, hopefully this will lead to many more editors adding useful content for everyone’s benefit.

Start / End Strategy[]
This feature starts 11-Jan and runs for 5 days, there is no strategy to start late.
Cloud Save / Restore[]
See the Firemonkeys website for full details on cloud save:
Firemonkeys.com.au Cloud Save FAQ
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.
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.
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!
FAQ[]
Car Service[]
How can I service the car when I already finished the day?
The FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM can only be serviced on boss races, unless it has been purchased for 125 the other cars can be serviced anytime.
The Target is too High, How do I Reduce it?[]
Make sure you cloud save before you start and after a handful of failed attempts try a cloud restore and retry. 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 loosing 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!
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 showdown (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.
- Webpage for more information: hitex.lt RR3 Graphics Project
When is the last time I can start this Event?[]
The feature started 11-Jan, and will automatically close 5 days later, 16-Jan @ 23:00 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 FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM is available to win if the challenge is completed in 5 days, the FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM can be purchased.
Can I buy the car?[]
The FORD MUSTANG GT PREMIUM is available in the Performance Rumble career series and in the V8 Muscle Hustle bonus series, part of Performance Rumble, which are both part of the Pro/Am group. It can be purchased for for 125 or 100 in its showcase
“ | If you start to play the event, all upgrades, customizations 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[]
RR3 Michael P wrote:
My recommendation is to start the upgrades as soon as the challenge start as they take 10 minutes, there is no need to wait for them to complete before doing continuing the events. As soon as level 1 upgrade is complete start level 2 upgrades. Normally only R$ upgrades are required, as long as you slow the bots, see Time Shifted Multiplayer and Methods to slow bots down)

Finished the gauntlet in one go with only R$ upgrades. The hardest one was 36, where I had the 3 laps in Dubai.
I call BS on those claiming to have done it with R$ only. I've won every event by the smallest margin I could achieve (e.g. 20 m for Cup events, retrying if the margin was too big), and still had to fully upgrade my Skyline, and half of the gold upgrades on the Mustang, in order to barely pass a few challenges. Unless RR3 randomly determines the skill of the bots, I think one needs a lot of upgrades. Here's the full list of upgrades for the mustang:
Engine | Drivetrain | Body | Suspension | Exhaust | Brakes | Tires & Wheels |
3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
RR3 Michael P wrote:
I managed to finished season 2 with PR25.0 7/31 (all R$ upgrades), although it does depend on an element of luck, depending on the track the goals can appear near impossible, I found season 2 easier than season 1. On my BlueStacks device, I couldn't beat Magnus at Mt. Panorama, so had to restart the run. On my Shield device the hardest boss challenge was the second to last, Magnus @ Spa, after four attempts managed it, the last boss challenge at Monza was easy, in comparison. I enjoyed season 2.
