6.5 - Competition Update (August 21st, 2018)

It’s the third year of Australia’s Bathurst 1000 and this incredible Real Racing 3 update brings you six speedy cars and the debut of the McLaren 600LT, plus all-new ways to take on the competition head-to-head.

Online Multiplayer Relaunch

The Online Multiplayer has been overhauled:

• Colliding with opponents has been disabled, opponents will be ghosted when you pass through them
• There is now a single Online Multiplayer league (replacing A, B, and C leagues)
• Each week, one vehicle on the roster will be loaned to all players for Online Multiplayer, unless you already own that vehicle
• Rewards have been overhauled:
• Everyone who participates during the weekly tournament will earn a Gold reward
• Improving your rating will increase the Gold reward you will receive at the end of the tournament
• The Online Multiplayer UI has been updated
• Track rotation now occurs every 15 minutes
• The post-race experience has been improved
• Other fixes to matchmaking and net-code

Relaunch Date: Tuesday, August 21, 2018, 01:00 UTC
Please note: Online Multiplayer will be unavailable between August 20 04:00 UTC - August 21 01:00 UTC in preparation for the relaunch.

For more information, see the RRTV Online Multiplayer Tutorial or check out the updated 6.5 Game Manual under Help & About in Game Settings.

Weekly Time Trial Relaunch

The Weekly Time Trial has been overhauled:

• Weekly Time Trials now consist of a single event to participate in each week, instead of requiring four events to be completed in order to obtain rewards
• Each week, one vehicle on the roster will be loaned to all players for the Weekly Time Trial event, unless you already own that vehicle
• Rewards have been updated to include Gold rewards for every group
• Your laps will no longer be invalid after going off-track, or hitting walls. Instead, time penalties will be applied for going off-track, going off-track continuously, and for wall collisions (this also applies to Time Trial Competitions. Career, Motorsports and Exclusive Series Time Trials will remain unchanged)

Relaunch Date: Tuesday, August 21, 2018, 01:00 UTC
Please note: Weekly Time Trial will be unavailable between August 13 01:00 UTC - August 21 01:00 UTC in preparation for the relaunch.

Other Improvements

Time Trial Replays
A new 'Watch Replay' option is available from the context menu on player results for all Time Trial Leaderboards (including Series Time Trials, Weekly Time Trials, and Time Trial Competitions). Use 'Watch Replay' to spectate competitor laps to study their braking points and racing line.

We have also fixed several cases where a player could submit a lap time but their ghost/replay would not be updated.

Car PR in Time Trial Leaderboards
The car's PR is now displayed on player results for all Time Trial Leaderboards (including Series Time Trials, Weekly Time Trials and Time Trial Competitions).

Anti-Cheating Improvements
We have fixed several exploits and have added additional anti-cheat checks. We will be continuing work on cheat detection to ensure the competitive modes are fair. Players found to be cheating or exploiting will have their Online Multiplayer Rating reset, in additional to the removal of their Time Trial results.
