After the latest patch what is the best method for grinding XP and cash now? I see so many videos and methods. I tried the pit lane glitch I cant get it to work
Go to page 1 on this thread, and look through all the pages and you will find ways to get credits easy.

For me, an N199 just isn't fast enough (or maybe I'm not!). But on a good day something tuned up/down to N299 should be OK. It depends on if the AI ties itself up or not. I've seen most of the grid crawling along two by two and when disturbed by me one or two still have some fuel and then zip off.
So generally I've seen the AI finish somewhere between ~10:55 and ~11:30 since 1.06. If you can aim for ~10:45 then it should be a done deal and 145k+ credits.

The Nurburgring method doesn't work for me, for some reason the 650S GT3 is much more fuel efficient than every other car & will be refuelled & out of the pits before the 10 minutes is up & well before any other Gr.3 car. What gives?

I tried the race three times and always came first.
I was racing on Nurb24 track with a stock Toyota N100 car.
223.500 Cr. for first place in 12 minutes. (clean lap)

$200k in 10 minutes on 1.06
Select your favorite 199 car
Nurburgring Nordschleife (not 24H) | Endurance : 10 minutes | GR.3 Opponents | 10X Fuel Consumption | Boost Off | Pro AI (the usual stuff)
AI runs out of fuel (you don't need to adjust the fuel map) and you overtake them all somewhere before the final straight. Reach the finish line and wait for the timer to finish then cross the line and win the race.
You will see AI entering the pits before the race is over - don't worry you have plenty of time.
Be sure to flash the light when you overtake the AI for extra amusement.

It is a N100 car tuned up to just shy or one click below a N200 car...
Ok, thanks for the answer!

Abuse with oval track does not work

So the only working trick now is 24 Nurb with out of fuel gr.3 guys?

It does with 3 rubber bands. 2 on r2, one on the left stick to hold you on the wall. Make 2 mil a night for losing and a couple thousand mileage points for the 600+ laps completed.

Same here. I did it for the Milagepoint. I locked my fanatec wheel and let it play for 3-4 hours just to check. My PS4 went into sleep mode after 4 hours that was ashame but it did work.

Yes I do the same R2+steering right and my MX-5 is making a lap in 2:30. Tried for 10, 15 and 40 minutes and got always 30 exp and 6 miles even without credits and bonus miles at all...now let the little Mazda for 15 hours and will check and revert with results)

I might have missed it, but can you tell me in detail how you do this? Track, Cars, Car Settings, Race Settings etc.
And how do you use the rubber bands? Possible to show a photo maybe? I'm struggling

But seriously....why bother fixing it in the first place? Not everybody likes racing for thousands of hours just to get to buy each car in the game.

What I do is take the McLaren 650s or 720s (cant remember) put on a Time Trail on Northern Isle.
It's important to have a car that can reach 80-100 kph in third gear.
Then i fix the throttle of my wheel with a stick.
Then i fix the wheel so it keeps steering right. (also with a stick to the ground)
And then let it go!
I only do it for the milage points not for the credits. If you want to do it for both you set up a Custom Race on Endurace for 2-4-6-8-12-24 hours. Everything on hard and the do the same.
It's pretty easy.

Doesn't this destroy the force feedback on your wheel quite soon?

Seems like a pain having to adjust those settings each time I want to initiate auto-grinding
I think I prefer rubberbanding my controller. I have FFB turned off on controller anyway, since I don't use it for actual racing.

Why wouldn't you use one of the VGT's at Blue Moon?
Car travels faster and Blue Moon is a faster track, so you'd cover a lot more miles and get a lot more mileage points.

Don't know. I found a video using Northern Isle. Other tracks were said to be patched in 1.06. So i tried Northern Isle and that still works. That's why
Fastest way to earn mileage points is grp 1 vs grp 1 (1 opponent), Blue Moon, boost off, pro difficulty.
The fastest VGT cars will average 150mph+ at Blue Moon.

An even easier method IMO to earn mileage points is to:
a) Create a online room and pick whatever track you want, set it to endurance
b) Set up how many hours you want it to run for(as the timer runs out,the car exits the track)
c) Enter track, accelerate then press the Option button on DS4, where the car will go into Autodrive.
d) Come back at your set time or exit the track whenever you feel like and reap the mileage points.
No need for rubber banding or any tricky set-up.
The longer the Autodrive goes on the more mileage points.
An 8hr stint netted me about 17K.
Just set it up when you go to bed.

If you use sixaxis controls you can tilt the controller slightly to adjust your steering.

For Mileage points, I fine tuned the following for ~2000/hour:
- Blue Moon/Tomahawk X VGT
- Settings 2 cars, no boost, one make, professional difficulty, etc. for max stars
- Car settings keep the traction control on 3
- Rubber bands to full throttle; for steering, do not put it all the way to the right into the wall, just between down and right position of the stick (or motion control if you prefer), so the wheel position is about 6 (RPM) parts from the center.
This should get you barely on 5th gear and roughly 383 km/h on the straights, which will get you 35-ish times per lap, sometimes 34, sometimes 36 or 37(used to be 34-ish quite consistently before 1.06, now I can't get that low). This will give you 100+ laps per hour. The steering is very sensitive, so make sure you're at those 383 km/h in the straights, otherwise it will give quite variable times. If someone has figured out quicker times, please let me know.
And you'll get also a small cash and experience compensation for your time, 471k and 3700.
For Cash, I've tested the Ring 24h layout with 10x fuel consumption, Gr.1 opponents and MX-5 tuned at N199. Once I won, once the new R18 came 2 minutes before me and it's very hard to do a clean race, so looking for something more consistent.
For Experience, what is the best method right now? Same as Mileage but with an MX-5?
