Hello,
i wondered what's the quickest way to earn money? I found that the high speed ring class B gives out 12,500 but whats the quickest??
👍
Technically speaking the quickest way to earn money in GT5P is winning the
S-6 Ferrari F40 Mission Race. The entire event is only 3.61 miles
(one lap on Suzuka) and in an
F40, you can, and will have to pass 16 aggressive AI cars and finish it in under
2'23" in order to win. Once you add the 20 seconds it takes to fast forward through the award screen and start a new race, that means you'll be making a whopping
13,000Cr per minute!
Personally, this is one of, if not my favorite events in GT5P, as not only is it very challenging, and thus extremely rewarding when you succeed, but it is also a great event for perfecting your passing techniques and mastering one of the more challenging circuits in GT5P... and the world.
The problem though is of course you'll have to have unlocked the S-Class events, have already earned 450,000Cr in order to buy the F40, and then there is the issue of winning the S-6 race, let alone winning it consistently! Suzuka is a very challenging circuit, and this event is one of the toughest to win in GT5P. In addition, if you don't win, the prize money drops significantly for 2nd place and below... thus unless you are consistently able to win this race, there are several other races where most people will be able to make more money than by running S-6.
For instance, with an untuned
Corvette Z06, one can easily dominate the
A-1 Gran Turismo All Stars event, which is a 5 lap race at Daytona Speedway. It's the easiest track by far, and even a novice GT5P driver should have no trouble winning this event consistently with any number of different cars. In fact, one should easily finish this race in the Z06 in about 4 minutes, thus earning just under
5,000Cr per minute.
Now for those just starting out and have not unlocked the A-Class events yet, two events that are definitely worth considering are the
C-8 Honda Integra Mission Race, which is just a one lap race at Daytona Speedway and the
B-6 Honda Integra Mission Race which is a one lap race at the High Speed Ring.
If you can win either or both of these events consistently, you'll find that you'll be earning as much as
6,800Cr per minute!
Now these are all some of the best and fastest ways to make money offline. However, you can also make quite a lot of money online as well.
The fastest way to earn money online would be to consistently win the
Expert PP700 Daytona Speedway race. While it is true that the Sukuka race pays 5,000Cr more to the winner, but it also takes an additonal two and a half minutes to finish than the Daytona race. Thus, per minute, the Daytona Speedway race pays more. As a bonus, the Daytona Speedway is a ridiculously easy track to master compared to the complexity of Suzuka.
Now while a typical winning time for a Expert PP700 Daytona Speedway race is only about
4'00" and the reward for winning is
45,000Cr, unfortunately it takes an average of about three minutes to get through the matching process, waiting for the race to start, an additonal 30 seconds after you cross the finish line for the other drivers to try and finish, and to fast forward through the award screen in order to start the matching process over again.
So, when you take that into account, consistently winning the Expert PP700 Daytona Speedway race will net you about
6,500Cr per minute... which is still quite good.
However, occasionally you may get disconnected from a race, and of course with online play, you never know what you may be up against as far as dirty racing goes.
Finally, while not necessarily the fastest way of earning money in GT5P, and it certainly won't help improve your driving skills in GT5P. The
"easiest" way to earn lots of money in GT5P is entering in (not actually racing) the Expert races online where there are very few drivers in a race.
For instance, many people do not like Suzuka, so especially during off peak hours, you can enter these races and you'll find maybe only 2-5 players in the race. Now all you have to do is park the car off the track so as not to interfere with the other drivers, and go do something else for seven minutes. When you get back, you'll have earned anywhere between 45,000Cr and 34,000Cr depending on how many drivers finished the race.
Using this method, although it won't help you become a better online driver, it will net you between
3,000Cr and 5,000Cr per minute... without ever completing a single lap!
So to sum up some of the examples I have given:
("per Minute" based on continual play, not just the length of the race itself)
- 13,000Cr per Minute = 1st @ S-6 Ferrari F40 Mission Race (very hard)
- _6,800Cr per Minute = 1st @ B-6 Honda Integra Mission Race
- _6,500Cr per Minute = 1st @ Expert PP700 Daytona Speedway
- _5,300Cr per Minute = 1st @ C-8 Honda Integra Mission Race
- _5,000Cr per Minute = 1st @ A-1 Gran Turismo All Stars (very easy)
- _5,000Cr - 3,000Cr per Minute = 2nd-5th (without actually racing) any Expert PP700 race with few drivers
I hope those looking for ways to increase their GT5P bank balance finds some of this info useful. Good luck and most importantly, have fun!
See you on the track!
And I got mid-46 on 2nd or 3rd, getting me the gold. But 3 laps is too slow for "milking the cow" 
How do you manage 330km/h on the first (timed) lap? I got to 315-ish by drafting.
