Absolutely 👍

@kowalski__1 advice.
As I was saying before, “Lap Time Challenges” in time trials have a big payout, for simply completing a single lap without the pressure from other cars on the road. The car for the challenges can be provided for free, you dont have to buy it. They are usually only one or two minutes laps but can go up higher. Essentially you race around a course as much or little as you want and upon exit it automatically uses you best lap for your current time. While the events are still ongoing/open, you can go back as much as you like to try again without the risk of losing any previous times. They are only overwritten when you exit with a better lap time.
The day each event ends, your time will be compared to the current fastest driver (all times get better over the course of the event). If your best time is within 3%, 5% or 10% of the best (
when its over/closed) you will be rewarded 2 million, 1 million or 250k credits respectively. If you were close to a cutoff, its a good idea to check back the day it ends to see if your time got bumped back as it may have changed last time you saw it.
Btw, before entering the challenge, If you check the current leaderboard many of the top spots have videos of their race you can watch to learn all the braking points, throttle gear changes etc... You can even load a ghost for that car to drive alongside while you drive for feedback.
Regarding the circuit experiences:
They are almost the same thing, with the differences being that the times to achieve rewards are preset and the lap is done twice; once broken down into small sections to help you learn the track and once in its entirety. You can do them whenever, in part or full and do as many as you want. Unlike the TT, there’s no limited number available each day. However there’s a flag at the end of the lap so you have to “retry” to go for better times. Again, retrying doesn’t overwrite or jeopardize any already achieved, like before they’re only switched out if they are better.

Lastly, on Sardegna:
The WTC800 at Sardegna is for the most part solely a grind for making money. It’s currently the highest earning event in the game, rewarding at a rate of 1.5 - 2 million credits every 60 minutes (25k-32k every 60 seconds) depending on how fast you finish.
With the ability to “de-tune”, we can bring cars to the race that are not even slightly a challenge. It’s not really a big deal which car you pick or if its expensive because you’ll earn it back very quickly. The gr.1 (group c) cars and the Escudo in sold at legendary dealer are the fastest for the coarse but only the the Escudo is available at the moment. As fast as it is, Its a love/hate car though and a lot of people don’t like it.
I’ve found the Peugeot L750R Hyrbid to be the next fastest. Its also a gr.1 and available at brands central for 1 mil. I posted a tune for it few pages back

Edit:
You can also give the Hyundai N 2025 VGT Gr.1 a try that @Chikane_GTR just posted about with a great time, tune included in the post above this
Again you’ll be making so much money you can keep trying others whenever you want.
Doing the same race in the same car can get a bit boring after a while. I made this thread to help break up the monotony of grinding the same course over and over for credits and try for all of us to come up with new options and/or time goals to try to keep things interesting.

@Chikane_GTR Smokin Time with the N 2025, Great Job. Will definitely have to check out the new tune.
