Hard earned gold.
So there was only Cr.2m for gold?

The news release suggested it would be increased.

"6. 'Increased Rewards' Campaign. Now is your chance to earn bonus in-game Credits!​

For a limited time only, players can play special recreations of the World Finals races in the 'Sport' pavilion. Furthermore, each event will now offer even more rewards than usual!

[...]

・Online Time Trial
 - Nations Cup - General Qualifying (Suzuki V6 Escudo Pikes Peak Special | Willow Springs International Raceway)

And in the article @Famine wrote it said "They will run to December 5 and offer double the usual rewards, which are based upon your time gap to the best time globally; a maximum of 4,000,000cr will be available for a Gold time".

Interesting to note. Of course, there were select Sport mode races with the little icon that showed an increased payout (Daily race As as well as the Nations/Manu races). Something seems extra odd because the Escudo TT is over (thank dog!!!) but it still shows as ending on the 12th on the site and doesn't look like a new one has replaced it yet.

Anyway, just glad my .063" buffer was good enough. Gonna take my 2mil and run with it.
 
I had a 1.02.798 going into yesterday that I just couldn’t improve for my life. Last night before bed, I decided to give it one more go. Almost 700 miles later, I got it down to 1.02.568. First time I got gold.

But now the skin on my hands is sore and so is every muscle on my left arm and shoulder lol. Also didn’t anticipate going to bed at 2am. Hopefully I don’t wait until the last minute for the next one.

Yeah, I thought we were getting 3.5mil, ie the bronze/silver and gold payouts for this one. Or double the listed payouts. Something...

Knew I was wasting my time on this; should have just accepted silver and ran Sarthe over the last few days. Would have made WAY more credits, like 3-4x more

Road Atlanta in the Shelby Daytona, 330 P4, or 250 GT would be fun. I need to learn the track anyway.
Assuming they ever get around to putting a new one up... Wouldn't it be great if we have to wait 10 days for the Ferrari VGT to drop so they can use it! lol

This PlayStation blog post is even more explicit and says the TT payout would be double.

Increased Rewards Campaign
For a limited time (Ends December 5), there will be increased rewards for each race in the ‘Sport’ mode!

Haha...oh PD... "For selected time (Ends December 5th .).. That's why it says December 12th on the web...😂😂😂 So they have a disclaimer not to give us double credits..😁😁😁
 
Meaning that is double the usual payout?
Meaning that there was no new TT today.

I didn't know about the double payout but apparently none of us got it either...

Is this normal? I generally don't get to run the TT's until 12-24hr after they've gone live so do the new ones tend to drop immediately or is it after the global reset (3.5hr from now)?
Nope. When the TT ends you immediately get the payout and the new TT appears.
