Best way to make money

[F40LM]

What the hell is S MODE?

I think S stands Super

 

[JRRacing64]

I found the RS200 on the Ice Arena or Grand Canyon good. I can average 20,000 points per lap on the Grand Canyon and around 12,000 points on the Ice Arena. Plus I like to drive it.

 

[Sparty_McFly]

Another way is to get to S rank, then go on the Nurburgring in a One Make Race. On all of them I've driven so far they've been undifficult wins... not without second place losses or anything else, but I've mostly won.

 

[HumanDestroyah]

I just drift the Ice Arena with an STI. Last night before bed I tried using a 240SX and averaged 16K per lap. For me that track is the quickest and easiest to get credits in my opinion.

 

[red ice]

adhocraces was where i get the fastest money,especially when hitting a jackpot.

 

[iaustin7]

My main way to make money was to play adhoc with a mate!

Yes! I get my brother's PSP while he is playing GT5, I go on the computer and start the race at testcourse every few minutes. Last night I got 2.6 Million and he got 1.3 Million (I always put him in a lower HP car). Its Win-Win!

 

[FIECSF]

Guys you may find this boring but 150,000 IN 2 LAPS Of the test course... Just use a bugatti veyron

 

[Petrolhead1]

Well i don't drift that much but another way is that you get S ranking on Circuit De La Sarthe
1 lap S ranking-100,000 Cr. in 4 min. (If you have a slower car, with the Bugatti you can do about 3:40.)

Are you sure?My Toyota GT-One can do a lap on the same circuit in about 3:30

That's not fair

 

[Petrolhead1]

I'm not sure if this was already said already judging by the amount of pages but heres my way:

S rank
Test course
2 laps
Car: bugatti veyron

Easy 150,000 grand already (i could be stating the obvious because there might be someone who said this already...)

...or a '00 Daihatsu Sirion X4 to drift around Chamonix or Swiss Alps

 

[SamEYEam]

Lazy way to make money, not very effective in terms of time and earnings but you don't need to do anything.

1. Set track to Testing Course, 99 laps.
2. Pick a car.
3. When the race starts put something heavy on the accelerate button.
4. Go do something for 3 hours.
5. Come back and you should have some money by doing nothing.

HAHA that would work but how do you steer?

 

[AlexGT]

You dont need to steer, the railing will do it for you

 

[danjee]

One lap of the Nürburgring on S rank is such a joy... plus you earn 150000k

 

[OHNOEjojo]

You dont need to steer, the railing will do it for you

Does this really work?

 

[streetcleaner]

Does this really work?

Yes!

 

[JSHuiting]

I always used the Nismo 400R of the oval Test Track, good for 150,000 per 2 laps, arround 4 mins.

Also i love to drive arround on the Nurburgring, if you race on A class you get 100,000 each race with only one lap.

Also thanks for the tips guys! 👍

 

[iaustin7]

That's not fair

I know, but he still gets money!

 

[AlexGT]

...and that's the whole idea!

 

[OHNOEjojo]

Yes!

And is that only for psp or gt5 on ps3?

 

[peterjford]

And is that only for psp or gt5 on ps3?

Only for PSP.

There is a similar trick on the PS3 using the x2010 (or similar car) on the Indy track. Sharing your B-Spec Bobs and having your friends remote race with them is another way to make good money. Also, for a limited time, you get a 3x bonus on seasonal events (maybe others too). Go to the GT5 section and search, lots of threads there about making money.

 

[jacnob]

I used Veyron on Oval on S rank. 2 laps.

Well, you'll be alarmed to discover that I've been digging through single player to find the most worthwhile races.

Most of the tracks at S-level have races worth between 11,300cr per mile and 12,000cr per mile. The only notable exception is a single lap race at Beginner Course at 10,938cr per mile and almost any race worth 150,000cr or more - tracks are rewarded by distance until they reach 150,000cr and from that point on they follow a pattern of the prize money increasing every "n" laps to a set value on a predetermined scale regardless of track length. "n" varies - it can be six or seven for many tracks (so a 12 lap race is worth as much as a 6 lap race - 150,000cr) but up to fourteen for very short tracks and one for the Nuerburgring. In terms of the best reward per mile, the winner is a six lap race at Ice Arena, at 12,109cr per mile.

But reward is only as good as the time it takes to do it - that six lap race at Ice Arena is worth less for the time put into it than any race on any road course (with the exception of the above-150,000cr races - and it's a close thing there). Most road courses are pegged at 20-30,000cr per minute, but of course the faster the track, the more the reward... Midfield is usually worth 33,000cr per minute, single laps of Sarthe are worth 37-38,000 per minute, High Speed Ring comes in at 40,000cr per minute and Super Speedway at 45,000cr per minute, but the ultimate comes in the form of, yes, you guessed it, Test Course at 52,800cr per minute for a 1 lap race.

However, Test Course hits the 150,000cr limit early - on the 2 lap race. It's still running at 51,250cr/min there, but you're now looking at the time between races being important. The time to go from one race to the next is about eight seconds (plus 4ish seconds for the race to start). So let's press on from there.

The numbers say:
Test Course 1 lap (77,250cr) - 1'35.000 approximately; +12s - 1'47 per race = 34 races per hour = 2.60m credits per hour
Test Course 2 laps (150,000cr) - 3'03.000 approximately; +12s - 3'15 per race = 18 races per hour = 2.76m credits per hour
Super Speedway 8 laps (144,000cr) - 3'06.000 approximately; +12s - 3'18 per race = 18 races per hour = 2.62m credits per hour


Now, I've not actually run any of these races to test yet - I've literally just finished S-levelling everything, but I know I'd prefer to run Super Speedway for an hour than Test Course and might be willing to take the putative 140,000cr hit in comparison to the 2-lap Test Curse race. I shall conduct non-numerical experiments in due course.

You say here that Test Course 2 Lap earns 2.76m an hour. That means for each of the 18 races, you must have come in 1st place each time. How is it possible to come in 1st place while grinding against the wall? Surely you would come in last place each time, which would be £30,000x18=£540,000. We are talking about the rubber band method here aren't we? Please could you explain.

 

[ROB2828]

Please!

 

[peterjford]

Famine was NOT talking about the rubber band method, he was talking about you actually racing. There is a way to use a specific car (Pescarolo C60 Hybrid?) that gives you enough speed even while bouncing off the walls and slow enough competitors that you do come in first place. I never did it so I can't confirm it works, but if you search this forum its in here somewhere.

 

[obsessive rules]

Guys you may find this boring but 150,000 IN 2 LAPS Of the test course... Just use a bugatti veyron

Or 80000 in one lap and repeat. You get more money.

 

[obsessive rules]

Gtbycitroen on test course set s rank one lap. 80000 per lap, against other gtbycitroens 1:40s per lap. Easy win, close race and the gtbycitroen sounds like a jet engine on the replays

 

[Deko Wolf-GTPT]

I simply enjoy a good drift session in Chamonix with the EVO IV Rally Car. Whatever is my score, gets multiply by 2.

 

[zipiol]

Try to run bughatti veyron, or pescarolo c60, or toyota minolta 88c, or mercedes c9 in N1 tires in test track, 2 laps gives u 150 000Cr

and try my brilliant idea

 

[GBalao888]

Hey guys, I have this trick on how to make a huge amount of dough in GT PSP.
(This method needs to be done, repetitively for a lot of money, of up to over Cr. 1,000,000.
1. You must own two PSP's/PSVita's with GT PSP or invite your friends who have GT PSP
2. Start an Ad-Hoc race
3. Choose Driving Park: Test Course, S Rank, 2 laps. (Use Professional Mode for a fair race)
4. Choose any car you want
5. Wait for at least 3-7 minutes (that's the time you need to finish the race, obviously depends on which cars you use)
6. After the race is done, receive your money.
7. Repeat. Although there are chances of Jackpot Races occurring, you have to pray and wish for a Jackpot Race to happen, it's not all the time it will happen.
