Hands Free A-Spec Grinding

If you're anything like me, you've hit an exp wall around level 25. After grinding for hours, I took a page from the old GT3 book. With two rubber bands adjusting the throttle and steering, I'm able to run A spec indy races hands free. Because the game gives high levels of exp regardless of final position, this is a very effective method for gaining levels effortlessly.

I have been running the Indy Track in the Dream Car Expert Series with a formula GT. My rubberbands routinely place 8/12 with a final payout of 60k credits and 8.6k exp. It takes about 10 minutes per run.

I am currently level 27, grinding to level 28. I am assuming the same methods can be used in the Indy 500 endurance race, which would hugely decrease my interaction time.

Here is a picture of my very simple setup. The rubber band on the right keeps the throttle at max. The left band steers the car rightward, pinning the fgt against the wall.

Hahahaha, awesome man, I'm gonna try it soon. 👍
Back the day, when I was playing GT4, doing hundreds of laps on the oval, I used to duct tape my toys to the X button. Cool times :lol:

LOL, I did the exact same thing, but used only the right side for the throttle.
I used an elastic from the right stick, attached behind the R2 button.

You wont be able to used the left one for Indy 500, as you have to pit for new tires and fuel.


It's gonna be a Right Hand free in Indy 500, not Hands free.
 
If you stuck a pencil or a marker in the right one, you might get more power... In addition to holding it tighter, it would hold it straighter forward.
 
I don't judge how anybody plays but I am somewhat amused that this draws no reaction while discussion of the savegame exploit causes shouts of CHEATER! :lol:
 
I have further refined the OP's techniques to utilize only 1 rubberband for maximum efficiency of rubberbands. Can post pics if needed.
 
Love the idea, only thing is, why is your left trigger going to the right, if you keep in mind the indy track only has corners to left? :P (the oval thing)

And you can do the American Championship, level 23, with a RM Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, 117.000 cr. in under 4 minutes.
 
Is it only me who thinks this is a stupid pointless post? I can understand an elastic band holding the throttle down but surely its stupid to have a band on the steering?

I would of thought that doing this would slow your speed down, therefore your race time would be increased, therefore giving you less XP than if you did the steering yourself as your race time would be faster? (You could do more races in the same time as it takes to do less races with the elastic band on)

Keeping the car turned the 'wrong' direction pins it against the wall and minimizes odds of ur car crashing or turning around. No win, just big xp, more important than the cash after a while.

Hig-gt, the whole point is so u don't have to be there for the race. Just press start and walk away.

So what would you tie the band against in order to prevent the throttle from lifting? Tying it to the other stick balances the controller.
 
I have my throttle on the R2 button, so I just double the band over and tightly hold the R2 button in place, if you press the button down and place it on the top of the shoulder it holds the throttle very tightly in place. Wrap the other end around the holder.

Your race time would still be faster if you where there, you are still constantly back and to so you may aswell be there, kind of defeats the point in having the game to play otherwise.
 
All I can say is do this on a rapid fire controller and tape down X, you can run infinately.....

As much as I hate to even help with an expolit, when the game lacks certain key feature to help the majority of users then the masses will do what they can.

Put in things like save progression at pit stops in Enduro races or something and people wouldn't need to "grind".

lol, I tried this on using my X2010 that I finally completed and the race takes a total of 8min (with a rapid fire controller) from start, to finish, through the cr and xp screens and then to restart. You finish first by like 6 sec over second place.

108,000cr and 9,819xp every 8min......that's 19,44,000cr and 1,767,420xp a day(24hrs). Umm that's like 4.3 days to reach from lvl 39 to 40!

If my math is correct, to go from lvl 30 (which is when you can legitimately get the X2010) to lvl 40 it would take you alost 18 days of straight racing that track. Those endurance races better give some killer XP.

But you get a free car every 2000km!!!!
