But is it easy, or efficient to make money (if you are able to win it reliably) ?

Have you tried it yet ?

Yes, i've done it twice, it's not hard for 825k in 30mins.

It rains on Lap 3 & 4 (gets a bit slippy, but fine on RH tyres as i was on fuel map 6 anyway), lap 6/7 are basically dry again except off line.

Most of the AI stop twice (lap 3 & 6), it's only 7 laps. I used the Gr3 M3 (dropped downforce and power, Gr4 cars might be better they probably have less downforce for the straights), with fuel management pitted on lap 4, then full power for the last 3 laps.

EDIT: Just did it for a 3rd time, no rain this time.

EDIT2: Gr4 Lambo with High RPM Turbo, does 183mph on stock tune so can overtake the whole field before the end of lap 2 on fuel map 6.

Fuel map 6, then pit end of lap 4, then fuel map 2 for the last 3 laps with a bit of fuel management on the last lap depending on weather. Even if you get the worst weather (Almost full wet tyre conditions), just slow down a bit an stay on RH tyres, AWD helps massively, you should be over 1 minute ahead at the end.

So I'm having a bit of a frustrating 'problem' right now. Money

I am only atr Menu Book 23 and it seems the only good rewards at my level are the Gr3 Cup races which I can as I dud a strream of them today to show the payout's (non clean races tho) as cannot seem to not hit the other cars even though I try my best.

At this level is there any other events bar the Gr3 and Gr4 races with good money or at which menu book will I start to see better payout's...

I've been trying the suggestion of the Supra with the HIgh RPM kit which is working but I only managed about four races in total this afternoon because keep having to restart as struggling with non TC as can't seem to win using it.

If there are any alternatives let me know, I'll keep going with the Gr4 races for now, hoipefully can get CLK by end of day but if not no biggie!

Just do your books?

Or do circuit experience.

Or do missions (each endurance pays 1.2M for only 1 hr)

There are so many ways to make money, just play the game and you'll be fine.
 
Tokyo Express TC600 does it quiet good for earning money, too. A clean win will be 825.000 Cr. as well and i managed to do that with the Gr. 4 GR Supra in then 27:42. setup was High rpm turbo, sport hard tire, aero tuned to 150/200, power to 98%. fuel ratio turned to 2 for the whole the race. You to need to shortshift a little bit and do some lift & coast on the long strait.

to speed everything up while making it easier you can bus the fully adjustable race gearbox and set it to 320 km/h. Then you can set fuel to 2 until lap 9 or 10 and might go up to 1 for the last laps. With this setting you should be able to finish below 27:30.

I just play the WTC 600, 700 championships and the world championship for money. Just about to do a few 700 Le Mans races and see what I can buy. Have most of the gr3 I want. I think the Le Mans must be the best money wise now.

A fully adujstable race gearbox set to 320km/h mighty be helpful, bit i think ist should do without as well.

I hate those Tokyo tracks. Total Gran Turismo fanboy but hate those Tokyo tracks. Gutted when I see one on a licence.
 
For me the best method is doing the Sardegna 800PP race either using the CLK-LM or the F1 GTR. The F1 GTR is quicker and far better on fuel than the CLK-LM with me only having to pit once on Fuel level 4 and then switch to fuel level 1 around lap 11/12.

With the clean bonus you can net $1,455,000 per hour if you do the race back to back. The race took me around 26 minutes to do in both the CLK-LM and the F1 GTR.

I absolutely get your point on this one! I‘m feeling the same everytime a tokyo event shows up. But when i get in groove with the track it becomes fun while doing it. Actually had a lot of fun while figuring out the settings in the last three races… :D

You need to get through the menus to get to the higher payout races. Definitely the best action is finish the menus.
 
Went broke buying the Mclaren F1 GTR 97. Then I realized how utterly easy it is to rake in credits on the WTC700 Le Mans 30 minute. It is very generous with the clean bonus as I received it twice in a row, getting penalties and hitting a wall the second time. Maybe even a SLIGHT amount of contact with another car. 825k in 30-33 minutes is almost OP. Not complaining. Alpha Romeo 155 eats it up with a Mid RPM turbo boost.

can you share your setting for both cars
 
I've been doing the La Sarthe WTC 700 race in the Time Attack Subaru. Does great in the wet, has DRS, and if you time your pit right with the rain you can finish over a minute ahead. Unfortunately the other drivers are fast enough to force you into doing another lap, but overall it's pretty easy.
 
I'm doing the half hour Le Man's race with a severely down tuned McLaren F1 GTR long tail. An easy clean race every time. Just make sure you have Inters and wets. You WILL need them.

Earlier I did the Deep Forest 1 hour race in a Gr4 megane. Epic race that I didn't think I could win due to the lead a Porsche took from the start but did, probably down to two cars running none stop acting as blockers once I'd passed them. One stop at half way hard tyres and added a little bit of fuel. Immense fun but why oh why is it a one shot and it's done mission and not a repeatable normal race.

I do not even have an Alsace race with that high rewards… Are there regional differences? :odd:
 
There is a way to nab 2.4 ish million in an hour but because people have big mouths and keep getting stuff "patched" I won't disclose it!
 
I'm enjoying Sardegna missed out on clk and F1 but have one of the gr.3 skylines that lapping sub 1:40 and wins with ease ... most gr3 but not always as enjoyable.
With it been a rinse and repeat prospect looking for other cars and set ups to try just for variety.
Thinking of investing in a leman prototype perhaps ?

Anyone got other tunes and suggestions to share ?

Sub 1:40 lap time preferable

I tried the Vette ZR1 last night, came 2nd ,i was leading on lap 14 but had to pit for a splash of fuel, i didn't set the fuel to 6 right away and had to pit at the end of lap 4 , so if you can get 5 laps out of the first tank of fuel then you could win.
RH tires, didn't change them, and i had to find the correct braking spots,was braking to soon or too late but once i figured that out,should be very winnable,:cheers:

My fastest laps have by far been with the Aston Martin DBR9. Add the supercharger, and you can do the race in two pits with fuel map 2 or 3.

My fastest and most consistent race times have been with the Honda NSX GT500. Putting race hards on it gets you under 800 PP. It's not as fast in the straights as the DBR9; but it corners better, and you can do the race with only one pit stop. Fuel map 3 for the first 8 laps, map 1 for the final 7.

I've been doing 15 laps of Sardegna in the McLaren 650S GT3. Fun car. Gave it a mid level turbo and that's it. Short shift it almost everywhere on the track except the 2 straights. Lift and coast in the heavy braking zones. You'll be able to pit on laps 5 and 10 and win by 9 or 10 seconds. Fun and easy to get a clean race for $727.500 for 27 min.
 
CLK LM for me fuel map 6, One stop on lap 8/9 short shifting is quicker and more economical. Laps around 1:40, 1:36 if you switch to fuel map 1. Cool track, Nice car to drive.

What's the best race to grind that's actually fun? I don't want to drive the tomahawk that car is stupid.

Sardegna with any Gr.3 car, any Gr.2 car, any Gr.1 car, plus a lot of road cars after you've tuned them up - I've won a couple of times in a Nismo GTR.

Not sure how realistic this is but you do need to be a lot more conservative with your fuel map when you use a road car.

Le Mans is quite easy with road cars but less efficient for money making. Anything you pick is going to have less downforce but more power/less weight so you should find it quite easy to find extra speed in the straights. The A.I doesn't react to weather forecast either, so if it rains enough that you need to use wet tyres you should find it pretty easy to get a big advantage by switching tyres a lap before everyone else.

I just tried this with detuned 2J and CLK with a controller. Not sure if it's me being rusty with a controller, or if the race is hard. I went from 14s off the leader in lap 1 to being 20s off in a lap.

I also don't know this track :(

I wish there was an Interlagos race we could grind. I'll drive anything on that for as long as I need to.

Don't worry about it too much, the fastest A.I starts off in front so while he's busy putting in hot lap after hot lap, you're busy trying to overtake everyone else between you and him.

The Viper which is the fastest will pit 3 or even 4 times, if you manage fuel and tyres you only need 1 or 2 pit stops. So it will probably look like you haven't got a chance of winning right up to the third pit stop on the 12th lap, by that point you should probably be in front. Stick to medium or hard tyres, you don't have to downtune as much so you end up with less tyre wear but the same PP rating, which in theory means similar laptimes.

Just won with a red bull junior
Start with race mediums and switch to soft towards the end

To be honest, the rbj is no match for gr 3 cars in terms of pure strenght but you can work your way out with faster turns, lap times and better pit strategy
