While you can earn 7 figure credit sums in your sleep, or at work, I'm not wrong.
I'm not aware of any adjustments to payouts for events, or patches to prevent people grinding. But then, I only play the way I want to play, and if I need extra credits, I set up the rubber bands and go and do something else.
Out of interest, you've earned 836 Cr per Km (according to Kudosprime), and I've earned 1191 Cr per Km. Mostly my credits have come from the Campaign/League or rubber bands, so I'd say Sport Mode is perhaps worse by 30%.

Yeah but my credits still have campain/gt league. I've completed the campaign and done most of the circuit experiences which surely add to several million. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Sport Mode is actually worse by 40 or 50 percent without that contamination.
Plus, don't forget this. You almost always win/get the gold in single player for those "good payouts". If I don't finish in the front of a sport mode race, I get 🤬 all for Cr

Over 500 votes have been cast! Thanks for all the votes so far! 
So far less than 10% of players who voted are satisfied with strictly weekly races. The majority want to see the return of daily races, with an option to also have a weekly race.

well I have to say that if they think this is a good idea they are crazy! imo they are going to lose a crap load of players. before if you didn't like the car track combos you missed a day ….now a week?? or more if the next week is also something that you don't like? CRAZY!! best solution is both daily and weekly events. just my opinion

I agree. At the moment there are three very average races offered. I did all of them a few days ago, did a Gr.3 race twice and that was about it. I haven't bothered with GT Sport for the rest of the week, whereas before I would log on almost every day. If they're going to have only weekly changes then put up ten or twelve race choices for the week. Big disappointment PD...!!
I've already stated my dislike of just having three races per week but I just want to go off topic a bit. The Mazda 787 has just been introduced, awesome thing and it's a great addition to the GT Sport garage. These cars had a 5 speed manual gearbox and a clutch and this capability has been reproduced in the GT Sport car. I've been driving it with a H-pattern shifter and clutch pedal which works well for a short time but then you get a handful of neutrals and have to jiggle things to get it into gear again. Other older cars in the GT line-up have the same problem. This seems to be a Grand Turismo software problem as Assetto Corsa works perfectly with manual gear-change cars and clutch. Has anybody else had this problem. It spoils the realism of a simulated drive of these classic older cars.

Still what would the 261 people vote if they needed to chose between daily or weekly ?
Hi everybody, I registered especially to be able to vote. I hate the change to weekly. I can't think of the reason why they did this and it makes me a bit mad that PD doesn't give an explanation and let us know their motive so we can try to understand this change. I used to play daily on most weekdays and it was exciting every evening to even log in and see which races were there for me that day. Now they've ruined my daily racing fun and I'm not even logging in anymore till monday. I was already disappointed with the change in the fia races from 6 to 2 a week, let alone this move. Please fix this asap PD!

I logged into this site for the first time in 9 years to vote here and complain. Sick to death of these races by day 3 and if the next 3 are poor thats another week off the game. Sort it out Gran Turismo.

Has PD actually given a reason for this?
They must have had some positive if misguided intention behind it - ie. Allowing players to perfect a course over a week.
I doubt they went "How can we save money on server costs? I know drive the players away with boredom!"

I dont mind weekly races, in iracing they ran weekly races too and it has its upsides as well.
I had not played GT Sport in a while since this update but with these weekly schedules i can see myself getting back in it. I like that you can put some practice in at the start of the week and then whenever you can find some time to race you can just hop on and get back up to speed with a couple of laps to do some racing at a competitive level. It severly cuts down preparation time, wich is a big plus if your like me and want to race at a high level without spending to much time.
That being said i can also see the downsides for people who still like to play daily.
IMO they should keep race C weekly and have A & B change daily.

15-20 minutes is enough for anyone to get up to a speed and set a quali time that they will be able to maintain in a race. I get the feeling that many people are overly obsessed with hot lapping and their qualifying time. Setting laps in time trial does not teach you consistency like putting yourself into a pressured race environment after a short practice session does.

Well i dont play allot lately so now i need a little more time to get up to speed as to when i was playing the game daily. And i like hotlapping as well as i can usually get into or very close to top 10 when i put some effort in it.
And i get what your saying about qualifying vs race pace/craft but i have thousands of online races under my belt in multiple sims so for me its not a problem. I can put effort into getting the best possible lap time and then be consistent in a race around other cars.
To have the best results you need to master both qualifying and racing so there is nothing wrong with being obsessed about finding speed in qualifying as long as your also getting the racing experience and understand the difference between timetrial vs racing.

In the age of the internet, where multiple forms of entertainment have been made quicker, easier and cheaper, game studios, especially single game devs, live or die by keeping their mid release players happy. Its not for no reason that studios release DLC to keep people playing, because these days its easier than ever to find your entertainment elsewhere. Its also those players that form the core sales of the next major release, its them that will generate the additional hype through blogs, videos and just talking to their friends, if they were kept engaged and happy.
The days of release and forget are over.

I'd be up till midnight everyday to play the new daily races. I'm soo sick of these weekly races I don't even want to play anymore. The new track is cool but come on man what's with thr tsukuba race? That got old after one race. What is PD thinking, and I don't want to hear the opinions of those who don't really even play the game or don't even have it. Gt sport continues to make me want to buy PC2 or even forza just to have some fun and variety. Gt sport is losing it.

For the first time since buying the game on January, I am only doing Single Player Campaign. A result of having got bored of the weekly races by day 2. PD's decision is utterly unjustifiable to myself and everyone here as I understand. I Hope they get the "You screwed up big time" message and fix it next update...

Not touched sport mode qualifiers since Monday 
, back to driving school to better my times (if possible with new tyre model) and get a ranking on my friend-list (again) or even a WW top ten. 
A bit of a nuisance that we have to beat old times to post new rank times where sometimes that is entirely impossible. I have run sector times in CE that should clearly put me #1 in the world but because it doesn't quite beat my old time (by half a tenth) i can't register it. 
Will be the same this Monday, one day of Quali 'WITHOUT ANY CAR TUNING' is enough. if we could tune up our cars as with the old GT5/6 TT's i might be able to endure another day at least. but BOP is far from adequate, PP leveling was much better I think.

Actually thats just made me think of something I saw today but thought nothing of it at the time... Anywhere times were stored in the game (so driving school, mission challenges, circuit experience and arcade mode) have been reset, but in typical PD fashion for reasons only known to them, all your course records on the GT Sport website are still there. I've saved mine so I can at least compare lap times with the new tyre model to those with the old tyre model.
