It's Finally Released!
Real Racing 3 has finally been released today! I absolutely love the game, and it brings me no disappointments! The graphics are fantastic and the gameplay is outstanding! I really like the Time Shifted Multiplayer, and the fact that you can challenge someone to a race one day, and they can race you the other. The game was put together wonderfully by Firemonkeys, and I greatly appreciate all of their hard work that they put into making this a great game! I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about the all new RR3!

I had to wait 2 minutes for engine upgrades....5 minutes for an oil change...But of course I could use real money to speed things up! Loved the first 2, deleted this one 6 races in. EA ruined a horrible series.
Time Shifted Multiplayer is fake. It's not multiplayer at all. It's merely just a bot with a real persons avatar on it. The bots are sterile and don't act like humans at all. Switching Wifi off and playing offline allows you to play the AI which is much more aggressive, varied and realistic than TSM which needs its algorithms updated and optimised to a high level before it even gets close to being a decent mirror reflection of a real person.
Anyone been able to start playing the game on one device, then continue on another? Can't really see the "save game progress in the sky" really work here...
Air-Play?
Does anyone know, how to enable Air-Play in RR3? In RR2 it worked automatically when Apple TV mirroring was enabled. In RR3 it just mirrors the screen on TV, but it does not work like in RR2 (map on iPad and race on TV). Thanks anyone for some info about it!

Not at this time - apparently it's 'coming soon' according to a post from a moderator on the firemonkeys forums.
I really enjoy this game - I've completed 60% of the 'Stock tier' and have more than enough money to buy at least one other car even though I've upgraded my Focus RS to the max.
Also, racing against friends in Time Shift is awesome - love seeing their game centre pictures as you fly past them.
Haven't been this addicted to a phone game for a while.

Re do earlier races and upgrade your car. This will build up money and your skills at the same time.
Also, turn off 'auto braking' or at least set it to low - you gain valuable seconds by braking late and smoothly in the corners rather than 20-30m before with the auto brake.

There so many bugs in this new release its unbelievable! So many oddities the game didn't previously have. Events have weird text with things that say [null] and times are written like 00:45452 instead of 00:45.452.
And the cloud save functionality so far has not worked properly. Haven't been able to put my saved data from my iphone onto my ipad, rather disappointed with this...
It was a very rough and ready update, not overly impressed. And as adam044 said, it seems as though they've increased the damage one can receive to your car. Prices have for in game stuff has gone up... The freemium side of things is getting old... I might not play this game any more, might just fire up the PS3 and GT5.
