After we grind out the cash for the current line up of 6 high value cars, will we be finished?
Are there any more 20mil cars in legacy games that haven't appeared in GTS yet?
Who is getting shafted, well I can see know one is getting that. If you want something well you just have work for it by rubber banding or winning race easy. Remember you don't need to buy all the 15-20 million credit cars in a week.could you summarize what constitutes “barely trying”? In the last two weeks, I got my DR to A, and got my SR back up to S, as well as worked on highway cruising tunes for my R32, R33, NSX, 2000GT, Evo IV, FC RX7, FD RX7, Ford GT, Mk 4 Supra, Mk 3 Supra, and a few others. In the last two weeks, I’ve racked up probably some 20,000 mileage points. I’ve also worked on 5-10 liveries, sinking several hours into each (from doing research online, finding decals, and then actually making the liveries).
I’ve driven 20,000km in the game, have earned 229,880 mileage points, I’m 100% complete Driving School, Missions, and Circuit Experience (majority were gold on the very first try, never more than 5 tries to get gold), and I have 40 “wins” in GT league (along with 20 real wins against real people, 9 pole positions, and 22 fastest laps). My time driven is 35 Days, 52 minutes, and not a single second of that is rubber banding, that’s all me doing the driving.
Dispite all of that, I’ve only earned 14.5 million credits in total, and am currently sitting on 2.5 million.
Am I not putting enough effort, or “hard work”, into the game? Or should I sacrifice doing the things in the game I enjoy (racing real opponents and expressing creativity) to do more “racing” against GTs stellar AI? Earning credits is relatively easy if you enjoy the single player aspect of the game. However there’s a huge percentage of players who don’t spend much time with the single player, and we get shafted for it.
ummm... I must have been delirious... 6:50.xxx's.I've been running low 6:33.xxx race times.
Slightly off topic,do you get the clean race bonus only if you win?Can you get second or third with no `bumps` and still get the bonus?
No. In my experience, You have to win to get the clean race bonus.Slightly off topic,do you get the clean race bonus only if you win?Can you get second or third with no `bumps` and still get the bonus?
Buy the F1 car. Drive the three events a few times and you'll recoup the cost of the car pretty quickly.
In my experience, you get the clean race bonus even if you don't win.No. In my experience, You have to win to get the clean race bonus.
When i did some races last night, I wasnt rewarded the amount you see before you select the race in gt league. I got maybe 65% of it. I think there is a reverse car handicap if your car is too powerful. I did the Porsche endurance race and I didnt get the full amount. I had my car up to 736HP and 86% weight(or whatever was the lowest.) This is gonna make it so hard to get one of the cars for the nostalgic cup. I only got up to 2.25 million last night. Previous GTs were so easy to grind.
So, I bought the Jag, maxed it out on power and went to stage 3 on the weight, which offers the most weight reduction.. all of which cost about 42,000 mileage points, chucked some RS tyres on it, and went to the nostalgia race at le mans... pretty much destroys the field, though it could do with a custom transmission to be less annoying.
Meh... would make a decent grind if that's your thing! I'm probably not going to bother with any of the other 20 million cars unless it happens organically.
Paragraphs exist for a reason.I just want to throw this out there , because i get the feeling that people are missing out on some serious fun/racing. I had 4 eligible cars to do the new Lemans 79', a stock Jag , a stock 330 P4 , a fully upgraded 250 GTO and another 330 P4 upgraded on weight only , after a couple of runs with each car i decided to go with 330 P4 upgraded weight car , i had barely enough mileage points to upgrade the power to stage 2/5, which i did , i then ran 9 races , didn't get the clean race bonus once, so for whatever reason i decided to go with another power upgrade , my first race at 3/5 i got the clean race bonus and haven't looked back, since Sept 1st, i've won 180 races and made a little over 42 million in credits , it's been that much fun and here's why, i started doing the quick 10 second reset the field of cars option because the 1st race of each day/session seems to always be an easy win but when you reset the field you never know what's going to happen, and there are many different race fields, i spent aleast 15 hours at stage 3/5 and when you reset the field with this track, these cars and the speed, it can completely change the way race unfolds, with the way the cars spread out , the speed of the lead AI car(s), whether or not there are slow cars in the back, etc, i found one race where there is a yellow flag every race because two AI cars crash on the straightaway on lap 1 and they throw up so much smoke you can't see a thing, and one car is always parked broadside blocking one lane, it was an OMG moment(think i raced it 4 times before resetting, lol), another race i'm cruising down the straightaway in the left lane, lap 2 , in 1st ,doing about 329kmh, thinking , ah ya, another easy win, all of a sudden a blue Jag pulls up on the right and just cruises on by me like i'm not there(i use chase cam, no rear view mirror,).., after the brief shock wore off i just start laughing out loud like what the ..?...i get in the right lane and next thing i know i'm doing 349, my highest speed up to that point, right on the leaders tail just laughing away....did a few more races with him , hitting 352 and thinking ,how fast is this car going to go at stage 5, ....fastest AI at stage 3 i found was 7:01, stage 4 was 6:53, stage 5 was 6:47 (and i believe it's different for each car based on your power stage),....i'm not that fast, yet, but i don't care , it's been so much fun going stage by stage...i've now got all 5 eligible cars and it's been quite a ride so far....the 330 P4 handled great, i only did 4 things , soft tires, full downforce , brake balance at 0, changed final gear from 4.200 to 4.500( i like the increased acceleration) and then change top speed as needed, total amateur job, lol, .......but it was seriously fun and it doesn't feel like a "grind" but then again i'm used to grinding, so we all play the game differently and do what we like , and reap the rewards whatever they are ,...i would suggest grabbing a 330 P4 if it's your 1st, going stage by stage, you will have some really competitive racing ,having fun ,making lots of credits, getting to stage 5 you could have 20 mill again easily for your 2nd car...30-35 minutes a day is a mill+ , could have your 3rd car in 15-20 days ...as for the way PD released it ,was quite fair for everyone, the first 20 mill cars were released months and months ago,then a 15 mill car , they knew there was an event coming for the 15-20 mill cars but the players didn't, so play the game, i wanted the Jag because it was a convertible and didn't mind putting the time into getting it, BMB with an N400 Porsche,took quite a while but got what i wanted, just playing the game, and by doing that i was able to jump into Lemans 79' and really push the fun level up again,...because i was seriously done with BMB and was fading out of the game even though i had events to do in GT leaque , this event totally brought me back into playing again cause i guess it fits my style of play, you can't blame the game maker for doing something that doesn't meet the way you play there game...i predict another high end car or two before xmas , well played PD!...
There's your trouble.... Stock in a Mark IV. Maybe you win, maybe you don't.

Yeah, I can appreciate that. But neither La Sarthe or historics are really my thing, If I race it, it's likely just to be for the credits, so not winning would be a waste of time. The St. Croix race was much harder, I was rarely catching up to the two 330's in the lead until the final few corners.
Monza race is quite fun too. 5 laps, barely over 8 minutes, same cash reward
