How I USED to make 5,000,000 credits/hour through Custom Races... using a Fiat. But not anymore.

In theory yes but the credit reward is based on the pp difference between your car and the Tomahawks. The reason the engine swaps work so well is because currently the game calculates the pp difference based on the base pp of the car, rather than the engine swapped version.

I guess you could run a fiat 500 against a hobbled Tomahawk but it would be really slow. The thing here is that with the engine swap the race completes in around 46 second laps (depending on car) for the wall grind and when you factor in that per hour it adds up. Without the engine swap you can probably earn more using other conventional methods.
You need to be level 50 collector to be able to buy engine swaps if you are not lucky enough to "win" the correct engine in the wheel.

Thank you.Okay, I tried your tune as is and it was good but not perfect to my liking. There was a little more snappiness than I like for Nordschleife, made me spin more than I'd like for grinding. Could have adjusted to it, but wanted something more fitting to my style. So took some of your elements and combined with my previous tune, and I'm pretty happy with it now. The less aggressive initial torque on LSD makes it a little more eager to turn in and just that tiny bit less likely to instantly lose grip on exit, and could even reduce the front ballast a bit. Here's my 24h layout run and current tune:

The 5th gear is a little too short for Dottinger Höhe, not sure if making it longer would have negative effect somewhere else.
This really is a rounded up Porsche, and pays good money / minute! I calculated from my 24h layout replay that the full Nordschleife lap time would be somewhere around 6:45 and that is a perfect pace to build confidence for lapping fast road cars at the Ring. Super happy with this "grind"
Also, this Martini Porsche livery is super fitting:

I must admit I have spun with it myself, but you have to be gentle on the throttle out of curves. You get used to it.
I use steering wheel and only ABS default. I will try your tune ASAP.

To try and combat this, turn traction control on. If it does the death spiral early enough in the race, just restart as you've probably lost your CRB!

Probably just requires a bit of testing. Jank those Tomahawks/Red Bulls as much as you can, then test a few cars to find the lowest possible pp car that can lap Daytona faster. Rewards will probably be sgnificantly lower though.Can anyone suggest a setup without an engine swap? I do have a tomahawk and gold on Daytona, but I'm not level 50 yet and I think many people would appreciate it if there is a solution for a setup without an engine swapplzz

Would the redbull 2019 work instead of the 2104 version?

You don't need to be level 50; you can get engines from Six Star Roulette (Engine) tickets, several of which are available as Extra Menu Book rewards.Can anyone suggest a setup without an engine swap?

Just keep an eye out for any of the engines I mentioned in my last post, which will work as a stopgap until you reach 50 and can buy the engine you need.
That aside, your goal is to take the car with the highest standard PP you have and hobble its tyres and gearing, and beat 19 of it with a max-tuned version of the car with the lowest standard PP.
It doesn't matter what the cars actually are, that's the recipe. The Tomahawk X and a swapped 100ish PP car is simply the most efficient way of doing it; if you don't have them, you can use anything similar until you do.
That's the standard engine. You need the K20C1-Civic-'20 swap.
Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility
As you'll be aware by now, GT7 has engine swaps! Yay! 🎉 The feature works by either gifting you an engine through a roulette ticket (rare in general tickets, some engine-specific tickets are available) or as expensive buyable items through the engine swap facility in GT Auto. Only some cars can...

If you're already Level 50, just take the car to GT Auto and buy the engine.

I barely touched it for months. Occasional grind to get money for new cars then give up.
I’ve spent the last few days playing nothing else. And funny enough I wasn’t grinding 90% of the time…
Having money and options (and new events) makes you stay in the game…
Good.
I’m clearly doing something wrong. When I rubberband and wall ride it takes the car over a minute to do a lap. It gets as low as 81 mph. It takes 43 minutes to do a 26 lap race. I love being able to walk away as I have 3 kids and a wife so very little actual play time to make money without pissing off the wife. But how do I get it to go faster? Can you map the nitrous to the accelerator? Is that where I am screwing up?

I've been tinkering with some settings on the Abarth. OP suspension settings and some others I've seen here make the car uncontrollable if you're trying to drive yourself. So I went through and tried to find something more stable and less ... make-a-mistake-and-die-in-a-firey-crash-y ... Right.
I'm not particularly gifted in tuning, but this seems to work a bit better for me. The car is weird on the straights but can actually hold a line though the banked turns pretty well below 170 mph and can recover from when the rear goes out in a turn very easily, in my testing so far.
Transmission settings are the same as OP.

Tune updated. Under 7m in 10 laps. Laps in 40s / 41s
That's about 5M an hour and no wall ride :-)

Abarth 595 SS '70 - No wall riding Daytona grind
Hey, just sharing what I use, so it becomes a bit more of a race and less of a chore. Pre-requisites: - The car: Abarth 595 SS '70 Need level 50 to buy a K20C1 civic engine or a previously won engine from a ticket in the garage AFTER the engine swap, max out the upgrades...

I did all the above, Fiat tuned exactly as stated, the Tommerhawk the same and set up the race but the maximum payout I could get was 669000 and in another video it said I'd get a clean race bonus even hitting the wall but that was not the case. Still a good one for a change but I make more money doing the world circuits especially the gr3 race at le man getting the clean race bonus for 30 minutes
