The Easiest Ways to Make Money and XP in Gran Turismo Sport

[Macboyilija]

this is the best and easiest way to make some extra cr and xp

If you would have a clean race you would get 50% more !

 

[GBO Possum]

I now have the problem that I own all cars and have 20,000,00cr. And the next update doesn't seem to be in sight! What should I do since almost all races are wasted for credits... Come on PD raise the cr. limit it's just stupid at 20 mil...

My suggestion:-

Buy a 20 million car, garage it, and when the time comes, sell it. You'll only get 6 million back, but better than nothing

 

[JacksHerer]

I would also suggest using bumper view and radar, so you can see and get out of the way if/when AI comes up behind you.

375,000 credits and 8250xp per 12 mins is the only way to grind sensibly.

Despite the title, first 12 mins shows how easy it is

Two new races in the Premium Sports Lounge in 1.13. Anyone figured out a good N200 or N300 contender for the new races to give a few more options instead of doing Blue Moon and Maggiore over and over?

 

[GBO Possum]

I’m guessing that the new Alpine A110 1972 in N200 tune will work.

It’s great on Maggiore, earning 405,000

I lowered the suspension as far as it’ll go
Weight reduction of course
RS front, RSS rear
Traction control off
Adjustable gearbox max speed 162 mph

Last night friend and I drove the Dragon in this car in a Lobby. The uphill section is a bit tricky.

Having had this practice, I think I’m close to ready to do the GT League one.

Even if I don’t win at first, I expect to have some fun racing

Does anyone know if any of the new events are worthwhile cash cows?

There's nothing too great in the new new events, but I did find something in 1.13 that's decent enough for me to update the article:

another fun way is to use the toyota 2000GT 67 at Maggiore. adjust bhp and weight and top speed. N200 non clean race nets you 270,000, clean race nets you over 400,000. you can see my settings below. and the car is fun to drive too

Thank you times 1 million.

But, I had to change your settings... for my driving style the car was much too unstable off throttle on corner entry, and picking up the throttle mid corner, and, I could not get the hang of the way the rear would come around pretty much anytime... and, I was never using all of 5th, and 1st through 4th just seemed a little off... again, for my driving style.
So, I did this, it's nearly a slot car for my driving style... needs a little work as it'll still bite you, but for the way I drive it's much more dialed... again, not perfect, but, pretty forgiving/sweet.

I'd be real interested to hear your thoughts on the car setup.

If anyone is going to copy those settings, I set trans to max speed 168 per @sgllocal then adjusted the individual ratios, and finally the final drive ratio.

I've been hammering Blue Money Bay... but my goodness this is a million times more fun, if, not quite as lucrative... so be it.

Time required? is it better time/credit value than the moonway/ktm method?

 

[MatskiMonk]

If nothing else, Alpine at Dragon has made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

There is no quicker way than Blue Moon Bay/KTM.

It's great, isn't it?

 

[ZGreen]

I for one do not have the time or desire to spend a good portion of what time I have to grind for credits. 20 million car amounts for even much more than 2 million is kind of ridiculous. I think that there should be at least one or two days a week like on weekends when the prize amounts are doubled or even quad drupled. Either that or more events, or race prize amounts on some of lower tiers. Back in the day and when prize car and selling it for lots of credits was good.

 

[Macboyilija]

Thanks for the new tip @Famine ! Would it be 20min or something ?

Love that picture and makes me think of this one:

 

[Cayit]

They should bring back the seasonal Events, where you could make more/better Credits...

 

[GBO Possum]

There is no quicker way than Blue Moon Bay/KTM.

Very true. Yet repetitively circling Blue Moon Bay with the single objective of earning credits is (IMHO) boring.

The next event, at Lago Maggiore, while longer, is a far more rewarding experience. With each new car which can be tuned in the N200 to N400 range, I return to check out its behavior.

Latest experiments included the GT40 and M3.

The credits and Mileage points are a nice bonus

That's why the Alpine/Dragon Trail and 911 Endurance are also on the list

 

[cleanLX]

Love the 911 endurance, but, cannot for the life of me get a clean race... always seems to be that one AI car that gets "super boost" and I end up getting bumped, or, not making enough room... something, but can never get clean race.
Excited to try the Alpine/Dragon Trail... but, not time to race for a couple weeks...

 

[aztec camera]

For some reason I can't make the Alpine work. Maybe I'm bad at this game, but I can barely keep16th place in the race even bringing it up to N200. I tried the tuning settings posted above at Maggiore, and I just don't get what's supposed to be happening.

Here are my suggestions.

1. Get used to the event on Maggiore in an N300 or even N400 car first, and gradually reduce power
2. Learn the points of weakness of the AI drivers, places where you can overtake safely. There are at least 4 opportunities around the track, some amazingly easy
3. Whenever you can, draft the car in front
4. RSS rear tires, RS front

Great, thanks for the tips. I tried several more times and started getting to the point where I could improve my position about once per lap. I think it was just a matter of getting used to the car and making some transmission adjustments (and not spinning out once every few laps, haha). I will try using an N400 or N300 and then downgrade—great tip.

The Alpine is an evil-handling sack of doom, and will bite your face off if you look at any of Dragon Trail's kerbs even slightly funny. I managed it fine with stock suspension, but I'd recommend finding a tweak to make it a bit less... roll-over-y.

You will need racing soft/supersoft rubber. Moving the gearbox up to nearer 130mph is a good idea too, just to reduce the deficit on the straights. You're essentially relying on very late braking and high cornering speeds compared to the supercars. And avoid them in the bus-stop chicane near the end of the lap - they just can't do it very well.

Thank you for the further tips. Yeah, I found the gearbox around 130 or 137 for Maggiore was right. I'll just have to work on taking the corners faster. I also turned traction control off, as suggested above, and have spun out more times than I can count, because I had never fiddled with it before. Setting it at 1 seems to help for me. I imagine turning it off is supposed to help improve acceleration? Is it something I should learn to live without? (Sorry for noobish questions, as this is the first time I've been into a racing game since GT3.)

This is awesome. Thank you, Famine. Did my favorite car in the game at Maggiore. Trying Dragon Trail now.

this is the best and easiest way to make some extra cr and xp

If you use the Xbow I like to knock the rear anti roll bar down to 2, lower front and rear RH to minimum, and soften up front and rear springs, but I also like driving without any aides on besides ABS. This will stop the rear end of the car from trying to overtake the front end of the car.
(kinda paints a funny picture, doesnt it?)

 

[Kalder]

I just learned about this easy way to make quick money and xp in GT Sport and I agree it's a lot more rewarding than the daily races, so at first I was getting times of over 12 minutes and a few seconds, but after a lot of tuning, testing, failing, learning, tuning, testing, failing, learning, some more tuning and in the end succeeding I was able to set a time of 11:56,004 in the Premium Sports Lounge Blue Moon Bay race in the N400 Porsche 911 with after the first lap, every lap at 0:47,###


This was my setup:

Spoiler: For tuning setup, click here

6th: 1.225 / 270
7th: 1.000 / 310
Final Gear: 3.975

EDIT: Ok, WOW! I didn't see this coming, I tuned the Final Gear up to 4.110 so that 7th Gear would say 1.000 / 300, also I set TC to 0 and tried the race again, you wouldn't believe the time I got this time if I didn't make a video, haha.
11:50,576 !!!!!!!

...Premium Sports Lounge Blue Moon Bay race in the N400 Porsche 911

But... that's less than you get for the same race in the N300 KTM XBow, with is the strategy named throughout this thread and detailed in the article.

I know that's the best way, but I don't like driving the KTM as it's not my kind of car, so I've been using a '66 GT40 tuned to N300. It's not quite as quick but it's a more interesting and better sounding drive, although the main reason for using the GT40 is because it has a fabulous cockpit view.

 

[Kalder]

I tried the KTM about 3 or 4 times but I couldn't manage to get more then 5 laps without crashing it on the inside of the turns it starts to slide away underneath me towards the inside of the turn and then I'm unable to get it back on track afterwards, correct me if I'm wrong I think that's called oversteer? Maybe I should do the trial and error of tuning for the KTM like I did for the Porsche only I didn't really fail that hard with the Porsche, I was just slow, with the KTM I really have trouble controlling it. Or maybe I should just turn active stability management back on, but I would prefer to keep that option as a last resort.

Racing supersoft on the rear, racing medium on the front. There's also a few detailed setups in the thread if you want to go a LOT faster with it.

Thanks for the tips, will take the KTM for another try with a tune leaning more towards what I had with my Porsche. I used the tires you suggested for the Porsche, but I haven't tried them on the KTM (think I used racing super soft on both), which leaves me wondering, why haven't I tried that? It made a pretty great difference on the Porsche as well, so it could be a game changer...... Thanks for the idea!! Not near my PS4 right now, but I'm definitely gonna give that KTM another try soon.
