The popular credit grinds that I’ve read about are around 24-28 minutes depending on skill level. What are some shorter 4-8 minute options? I read about race 1 of the Pan American championships. That pays $35,000 for 4-5 minutes. Are there better alternatives? Someone said to check out Circuit Experience.
Shorter credit grinds

The longer races are just gonna pay a higher credit/hour ratio, that’s why people do those ones. The shorter races won’t pay out as much, even if you do enough of them to equal the longer ones, time wise. So if you prefer the shorter ones, just do the ones you enjoy, and you’ll eventually figure out with ones you like, that pay you the best.
If you can get the gold times, the Circuit Experiences, and Mission Races will pay much better than normal races. CE’s are worth 1 mill each, if you can get the gold times.

I don't know how up to date this is:
They're sorted by credits per hour descending so just choose the race highest up the list with the time you want to race.

I often do the Ferrari Challenge and the Turbo Car Challenge on Dragon Trail. Both are 700PP, payout with CRB is ~125k for ~10 minutes.
I also like the American Clubman on the Highspeed Ring (no PP limit). It takes under 6 minutes in a tuned ZR1 and pays a little less than 100k (98.5 iirc).
Both races are fun (but that's subjective ofc), rather easy to drive and easy to win with CRB.

Occasionally I try to find short and profitable ways to earn the Daily Workout. The shortest way is probably to find the fastest car you've got and take it to an oval track on a custom race. But you don't get many credits that way.
I started doing the Daytona American Sunday Cup with the SRT Tomahawk. Takes under 2 minutes and you earn the Daily Workout in 4 races. With the Clean Race Bonus you earn 90k, plus your ticket reward, you probably earn average 100k in 8 mins.

It hurts my soul not seeing the Sardegna rally race on the list. 3 minutes for nearly 100k is pretty decent.

If you want a credit grind without doing anything I believe @hyperspeed980 found that if you have a grid full of Tomahawks with nerfed gearboxes and a K20-swapped abarth 595, you can use two rubber bands to earn about 300k for 26 laps at Daytona. Set the car up to turn right slightly so it wall-rides, and obviously repeat the race, other than that you don't have to do anything. Takes about 23 minutes.
Nowhere near as fast as the usual grind races, but if I have to drive a 600pp car on Tokyo Expressway one more time I can't be held responsible for the crimes I will commit

Slightly off topic; but I’ve never understood this grinding mentality since I’ve been browsing this forum. It sounds so… not fun! I’m just playing the game normally - i get a car, browse around to see what events it can be used in, try it out and repeat in the next car. I’m making plenty of credits this way. Sure there could always be a wider variety of different events for all the different cars, but that’s another discussion.
Maybe it’s not as ‘efficient’ as grinding, but really - what’s the rush? Why is it important to make as many credits as possible in the least amount of time by doing the same race over and over and over again? It sounds like such a dull and depressing way to play a videogame!

I don't think any grinding has been fun in any game, ever. That's why it's called grinding.

The choice to play video games is optional in the first place, and thus, it's up to you how you choose to spend your free time.
Some people grind, some people play casually, some people speedrun, and some people create self-imposed challenges. No matter what, games are played in various ways.

One I found that's about 800k an hour is just running the High Speed Ring Clubman plus race. 52k on a clean race, about 5 mins a run. Pretty easy and cheap to get a strong car around there too (a stock Radical SR3 pays for itself in 20 mins or so), so it's not a bad way to burn some time and get some pocket change.

To you it may not sound fun but for someone like me it super fun.
JRPGs and racing games like GT or Forza where you have to grind for credits or stuff is super fun for me and I love games that allow the player to do just that.
In fact I have more fun with games that you can grind then games that you just beat without grinding I find those games not fun.

Dodge SRT Tomahawk S, American Clubman cup at High Speed Ring is the best paying out event/car combo for someone, like myself, who doesn't want to grind the meta 3.
I've been able to complete the race in under 4:46.xxx with a payout of 97,000cr. that's almost 1.2 million per hour.

The grinding becomes pretty much necessary when you want to buy any of the legend cars that go for 20 million cr. 🤷♂️

I guess. But there's races that place close to it/marginal difference and less arduous dealing with rally physics...
But like you say, no doubt you get used to it and adapt after 678 goes.
