HA HA HA
Jerome, you sound so desperate that I just can't stop laughing. And here I thought I was the only desperate one. Take a deep breath. Control yourself my friend!
Sounds like this is a catastrophic event this morning after the patch 1.05 and we all need to have a private meeting in 15 minutes. HA HA HA

It's about curiosity and control my friend, not desperation. I must know what I need to do to complete this game, should I rubber band an oval 25+ more times, or can I do an e-brake grind 15 times to get to level 50? I would just check this myself, but I"m at work : /

They might be able to patch parking up (ie; your car not moving for a certain amount of time), but as I said, I don't see how they can patch rubber banding... so a 24h endurance at Blue Moon with you in a Miata and the opposition in a Grp1 car should give massive level up points.
I haven't checked the exp payout on this as I'm more focused on mileage at the moment and you get more mileage running at 150-200mph than you do at 60mph.

I have a few questions:
- What are the benefits of accruing XP beyond level 20?
- Has anyone seen any of the Mileage Exchange cars come up as prize cars?
For me, it seems like mileage points are the most precious. There looks to be a bunch of (actually cool) cars that will only be possible to get with them, and they cost a lot of those points. Not to mention all of the customization stuff that nickel-and-dimes the mileage points down.
My go-to grind for now will be the 1-lap custom race at Nurb 24h with a normal car vs. Gr.1 @ 10X fuel consumption. Let them run out of gas and take the win! I can't recall all of the payout info, it varies with the car used but I know it nets ~130 mileage points, which seems to be more than you'd earn just doing time trial on the track (I think, no idea really.) I like this because I can use normal cars and just have fun, something I'd do normally for nothing. You need to watch your own fuel consumption though.. almost ran out with the M4, spent half the lap creeping along easy. If only there were more normal cars to do this with

Someone mentioned in the undocumented changes thread that if you turn off flag rules it won't ghost your car when e-braked (e-broked?) for our grinding needs? Can anyone verify?
Why go over level 20? > Prestige, and those little things called trophies.
Mileage cars as prize cars? > I've only ever seen purchasable cars in the car prize wheel. I'm 99% sure they are only available in the mileage exchange and since they do 2 at a time, you may have to wait a while if you missed on earlier.

I got the normal credits and experience but no prize car.
Edit- it finally showed up after 167 miles.

I saw this on another thread last night, and gave it a go today. First attempt with 911 RS didn't entirely go to plan with me running out of fuel (even on lean), but I still won. Next attempt was a N400 Toyota F something concept (fully lean) worked like a treat, and I was 115k credits up. After than I tested 2 and 3 lap varients, each successful. So in short 115k credits per 10 mins, plus you get to learn the 'ring a bit more.

Its very strange
I did 3 two hr custom race (I picked the smallest car 100. and set it as endurance. no of racers = 2 1 I simply stopped the car on the side for the 2 hr and then finished the last lap after 2 hrs, the second one I rubber banded it.. and at the end I got no Credits for either of the 2 races
Then I started another race and picked a car 1 level higher (200) and rubber banded it and I got the credit. Phew!
what is the Max credit we can accumulate? Anyone knows. I need to hoard the credits before they stop it! LOL

Just tried the original method for an hour with the flag rules off, still nothing.

I had no problems with a 7 hour One Make race with the Tomahawk X at Nottherly Isle. Except that I had to rubberband the left stick otherwise it would drift off the wall on the back straight and then go airborne when it hits turn 3.
Try both (with N100 and N200) for endurance (10 minutes). Custom, 2 people, and other extreme settings to get max payback for 2nd place.. just park your car on the side and after 10 minutes finish the last lap and report back. I am confused right about now... Something has changed... not quite sure what

Nice, yea I was thinking about multi-lap but especially when leaning the fuel or light-footing it, I don't want to spend too much time monkeying with it. Make sure you go through and check off all of the event settings to optimize your bonus. You say 115k with N400, but I got 130 something in an M4 with N400.
