So I have followed this person's method for passive credit grinding . And I have found out that PD might have either done an silent update, or they had preprogrammed something to stop people from doing lengthy massive rubberband grinding. I tested different endurance length and the longest I can do is 15 min for 41091 credits (with clean race bonus). Anything over that the game will just give you 0 credits.

The original poster was able to do 60 min races and get the 160k credits.

It depends on the gap to the winner if you get paid or not. I've been testing this as well with a 300pp A112, it even paid after a 3h "race".

I have to assume you don't have access to a tablet/laptop/pc and can't do the remote play farm?
 
After a certain point the game dolles out less and less credits .
So you will make more money for doing 4 25 lap races vs one 100 lap race.
You also get more money for using a road car against any race car category , turning boost off and raising the difficulty.

will any custom race ever dole out as muc has the pre made races, no. Can we find a good passive money maker? We need to keep experimenting. This game allows you to make a little bit over a million credits in a hour.
 
I’m experimenting with competing against high PP cars fitted with gear ratios that limit their top speed. So far I don’t have anything extraordinary to report, but I’m hoping for some gold in there.
 
What's the biggest gap to think?
If only I knew :D

What's your payout?
1h pays around 140k with CRB.

competing against high PP
Competing against garage cars sadly kills the payout extremely, if you want to make up for it you'd need a massive gap in PPs (maybe 20 to 900) but would then run into the problem of the gap between cars becoming too big and thus paying you 0 Cr..
 
I just tested remote play on my phone...but how do I keep the gas peddle on?
You don't. You don't need to.

 
You don't. You don't need to.


Update 1.09 patch log:

Pan American Championship payout nerfed to 5000 Cr to prevent players doing the same exact race over and over again.

Exactly because of these passive farmers, these races were curtailed... Anyway, I sincerely hope that PD does something to make passive farming completely impossible.

I know some here won't like it, but to me it's like cheating and I hate that kind of thing.
It's literally the only way to play the game if you have a full time job.

It's either AFK grind or jist stop playing the £70 game you bought.

Total nonsense ... sorry such statements are a laughingstock.

I also have a full-time job + wife + dog + other hobbies = 1-2 on weekdays and Fridays to Sundays between 4-6 hours a day, mostly in the evenings/nights (before stupid comments come, due to the Corona regulations I have no interest in going anywhere at the weekend drive.)

Well yeah, I suppose if someone is willing to sacrifice all of their free time into unkocking a car on a video game then they could indeed achieve that. It's obviously an insane demand for most though.

Nah, they'll put the 1st race at the end of the championship.

Its not cheating. Its finding a way to drive the cars one bought the game to be able to drive.

This game's economy is sooooooooooo out of whack that the BEST case scenario that people are hoping for, is a few races with high payouts that they can do over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, in order to accumulate enough credits to buy the cars. That isn't "playing" the game. That's being forced onto a treadmill and being told to enjoy yourself for 987 hours.

Its like Stockholm syndrome. The players have become conditioned to thinking their master (PD) is being good to them by giving them some races to grind with decent payouts.

What a crock. Here's reality. The payouts for everything should be 5X'd, so that even people who play the game a moderate amount (a few hours a week is realistic for most people with otherwise full and busy lives) can accumulate the vast majority of cars in the game within 9-12 months by playing ALL the content in the game, not just a select few races that have good payouts.

A good economy would have players not even thinking about the payouts and just doing races that are fun, challenging and building up their skills.

Give us a game like this and then and only then, would I consider rubber band passive farming to be "cheating".

The rubber banding is all very good but you still have to come back to your ps4/5 every few minutes.Its not like you can go and do something else.
 
It is pretty much Stockholm Syndrome.

The guy spends up to 26 hours a week grinding and cannot understand why others couldn't be bothered with doing the same.

I spent £5m last night and am currently sitting on around £10m after AFK'ing a couple nights. The game is actually really good when you can play it without the anxiety of having to lose 5 hours of your life every time you tune up a car.

You can with the AHK script linked in this thread. You can let it play all night once set up right.

That's probably going to be their next move, to make players move onto a new race they haven't race yet. Maybe PD hates people farming credits.

Are you guessing or you know. Because if thats the case, and races are cut to 5,000CR then Fack Sony and PD!

Exactly. At least they could make it fair. If I want an 18mil CR car, Im ok to grind some races to get there, even some endurance or championships. But im not down to grind for 20 ****ing years to get one car. We play this game to drive cars some of us will never experience in real life. I'm willing to work for it, but not when I know its impossible.
 
If you play the game, you will eventually get every car you want. Yeah, the prices are pretty high now versus the payouts. But it's pretty obvious more events will start to be added over time. Just look how GTS turned out, but everyone complained about it at launch. You all seem to want to spend a hell of a lot of time finding ways to NOT have to play the game you bought. If you don't like driving, maybe don't buy a driving game. Nobody jumps straight into a top tier car, and nobody should expect it tbh. We've had 25 years of GT games, and the one constant in all of them is starting from the bottom and working up from there. Why would you expect different? The journey IS the game. You don't pay to go to the movies and then get outraged that they made you wait two hours to find out how it ends.
 
"The guy" says: "Rubber band" is "no playing"... yes, of course some don't understand that.. and yes, some are dissatisfied with it, but that's the way it is.
I prefer to spend my time in the game getting all the tracks/races done and otherwise driving "Sport".... I don't care that some vehicles cost 6-8-10-20 million as long as they aren't game deciding because it Meta vehicles in some sports are races.
I don't need to grind for the way I play it.

I would suggest PD the following.
For each race track a 100-200% bonus on the payout per day, but this bonus decreases by 1/4 for a repeat of this track on that day, so that after 4 times the same track there is no longer a bonus.

At the same time, I would prevent things like the rubber band from working.

In that case how do you explain that the same car (Mclaren F1) was 1mil CR in GTS, but now is 18.5mil CR and in GT7 payouts are at least slashed in half in comparison. Does that not bother you?

Bruh you people are so naive. There is no guarantee that new races will pay better. The payout nerf in update 1.08 proves they arent interested in payout buff.
