    I'm thinking of grinding some money up real quick for that Gallardo. It would be good to get so I'd have something for the Supercar League and V10 Global.

    Pictures are fun... here are a few from last night and this morning. First image is a cool win against a bunch of TSM friends (first two drove the Porsche), second one to me is hilarious because I thought I'd be outclassed in every event against the Porsche owners... ha (Yes that is a completely unmodified Audi TT), thrid is a comparison shot to the Pro/AM World Series above.

    Quick question that may have been answered somewhere in the last 300 pages... what do the little red circles mean on the challenge tiles (as seen in the pictures two posts)?

    It means that one or more of your Gamecenter friends have passed your time on that race.

    Doesn't say which race though if that were the case. There are 32 races in an event where the bubble shows up for me. Which race is it?

    You need to look carefully over any given race. There's a tiny red circle above a person's TSM picture to signify they're the ones that beat you.

    Much obliged. I have notification disabled on this game, so I was afraid that was the only way I'd ever know who it was or what event it was. Gotta get back a few of those races :cool:

    .....

    Something else,

    Did anyone else notice last night that some of the crazy scores on speed snap, endurance and other races were zapped? I was pleasantly surprised.

    Still having a blast with this game. I've got 8 cars now and about 150 gold. I've only spent 2 gold so far, well...my daughter did, she took the liberty of respaying a car for me :)

    I did see one kind of "pay wall". One of my BMWs has 20 possible upgrades, I've done 16 of them. The last 4 you HAVE to spend gold to upgrade, they can't be bought with R$. But, the car is such a damn beast with 16/20 upgrades already that it's not a true wall.

    Somthing bothers me about the red bubbles: they disappear :-(

    When I come back to the game they are gone and I don't know which races yo race to beat my gamecenter friends.

    Turn on your push notifications. It tells you the name of the race when someone beats you.

    All the little icons of your friends under each event represents times you havent beaten yet.

    Keep in mind that those times arent neccesarily times that are better than yours but you are still to race against them and have therefoew not beaten them yet.

    Events like Cups are the fastest to beat because you race against 21 of them at once and if you come in first 21 of the little avatars of your friends will disapear from under that event.

    For events like Head To Head you only get to beat one at a time because you only race against one other guy and their best time on the event

    Got the Gallardo during my lunch break... well, bought it... still have over an hour before it's delivered. Next for me is grinding up enough cash to get that 911 GT3 RS, because that's the next event I'll unlock in Everyday Heroes and I'd like to get it at a discount too.

    I finally got a serious taste of some overly aggressive AI today. I was racing my BMW Z4 M Coupe in one of the Prime Production Match-Up cup races because my Audi and other BMW were in the shop... but the Z4 was worn out. Tires were bad.. everything pretty much was getting ready to go. So I was getting passed by everything on the road and getting slammed into even when going full throttle. In the end it started to bug me so on one turn I picked a target and rammed it so far off the track that it never recovered enough to come close to passing me. Good stuff. I just didn't want to be last and my car was already trashed. Because it was an upper class race, I still earned enough to fix the car. Typically, I always finish a race because of the money side of it.

    So 16/48 Cars are owned, 93-Gold/25-Silver/12-Bronze trophies, 14% complete with the game, 219 Gold in the bank, and driver level 40. So many races left to do... it's kind of crazy.
     
  15. Wow, how many hours in are you already? I knew you were a hardcore gamer and would do well fast. I got around 5 hours in I think of playing time.

    But if you are a big loserz like me, you will get rear ended all the time, they just ram you without mercy. Sure, it's unrealistic, but I have resigned myself that this game is better played as a bumper car racing game than as an autoshop simulator. So I forget about the damage, wait timers, and all, and just play crazy. It's funner that way. If you get concerned about taking unfair damage too much, it will make the game less fun. I kinda don't know about the title with Real in it and all. Don't want a game called Real Auto Shop, I prefer it being fun and more arcade like. So I play the game wild and crazy now, which I have to say is kind of fun.

    Anyone noticed any battery life issues when this game is running? I have an iphone 5, and whenever this game is active (whether playing or not), the battery seems to drain like twice as fast as normal.

    I am playing this on an iPad 4 and my battery gets hammered. Seems to really drain it superfast. Probably has to work hard to keep it running well.

    I am loving this game. Since I installed it I pretty much have not played anything else. Bit annoyed today with it though. Spent a week saving up the 2,210,000 for the Koenigsegg and it takes 1 day and 10 hours to deliver!! Oh well, can race it on Thursday lol

    What is the best way to earn a lot of money quickly on RR3? Seems like I have barely enough for upgrades, I'll never have enough for the higher end cars.......
