Real Racing 3 requires the player to learn a lot of advanced mechanics to race efficiently on the track. However, players also need to prepare their accounts for success by getting the right resources and vehicles ready for difficult circuits. As a beginner, it can be difficult to learn all of the different ways you can develop your account in a way that will propel your chances of success. That’s why we’ve prepared some of the best tips and tricks that will help players understand the advanced mechanics of Real Racing 3. 

Buy Your First High-Performance Car

The first step to advancing from a total beginner to someone who actually wants to race is buying their first high-performance car. If you haven’t been playing the game long, you might not have enough resources to purchase those luxury cars that cost a ridiculous amount of money. That’s why it’s a good idea to purchase a car within the medium price range that has really good stats. Avoid purchasing vanity cars early in the game as it can waste your resources really quickly.

We already prepared a guide on How to Buy Your First Car in Real Racing 3 so make sure to check that out so that you don’t end up making a mistake. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to buy a car that ends up earning you resources faster by completing challenges and winning races. Also, keep an eye out for sales and promos that allow players to get free cars. There are some great cars that you can get for free as a beginner so feel free to explore the dealership.

Save Up Your Money

Once you’ve purchased your first high-performance vehicle, it’s time to save up for the real racing cars in the dealership that cost a ridiculous amount of money. As we’ve mentioned, the first high-performance vehicle that you get is simply to complete high-level challenges and hopefully win some races so that you can earn some resources quickly while playing the game. You’ll need to get vehicles with exceptional performance ratings if you plan to compete against the best racers in the world.

As a beginner who plans to compete, the goal is simply to not spend money on luxury cars or other vanity items that you won’t use for racing. You’ll be spending a lot of money on maintaining your vehicles so it’s a good idea not to add to your expenses. You can spend your money however you want if you don’t care about high-level racing but if you’re a hardcore racer, you’ll eventually need to save up for a car that will cost millions. That usually takes weeks of farming for the average player.

Max Out Your Vehicles

Upgrading your vehicle is one of the first things that you should do after purchasing a car. Buying a vehicle doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to be instantly good at racing, it’s more of an empty shell at the beginning since it isn’t fully maxed out. That will also cost a ridiculous amount of money so take that into consideration when saving up for your car. It’s a good idea to max out all of the stats with top speed and acceleration being the primary stats you want to upgrade first.

There are a lot of advances to maxing out your car aside from it obviously performing better in a race. The first benefit is that cars get all customization options fully unlocked when a car is maxed out so you can start styling your vehicle in any way you like. You’ll also feel a lot more confident racing competitively. Try to max out one vehicle at a time so that you don’t end up running out of resources to upgrade an unnecessary number of cars at the same time.

Complete the Exhibition Series

The Exhibition Series is like the main campaign of the game where players will learn how to play the game and try out the different racing modes. The main purpose of completing the exhibition series is that you get to practice the different skills that you need to learn when racing properly. If you’ve started competing in high-level races, you’ll notice that simply having a good car and being able to properly steer your vehicle isn’t always enough to overtake your opponents.

There are also different types of races in the Exhibition Series so you get to learn how to compete in different types of game modes. It can be extremely fun to complete all of the game modes in the Exhibition Series and take first place in all of those races. Keep in mind that these are mostly catered towards beginners who are learning how to play the game so don’t expect actual races to be on the same level as AI which were intentionally designed to be beaten by beginners.

Earn Achievements

Earning achievements is one of the best ways to farm gold in the game. It’s a good idea to take a look at all of the achievements in the game and try to complete ones that are extremely easy to pull off so that you can farm gold quickly. Since a lot of the best vehicles in the game use gold, it’s a good idea to farm as much as possible early on. 

Farming gold from achievements can be done simply by playing the game normally but if you really want a good vehicle early on, you might want to review the achievement board. There are a lot of easy tasks that you can do early on that aren’t normally part of the standard playthrough so prioritize those if you have free time.
