Is there a cheesy way to earn a bunch of credits? Or is it just grinding for forever to get enough to get the old Ferraris.

It seems kinda dumb to have a car cost 9 million credits when winning a race gets you like, 30k or something...

You have a few options:

a) Just do whatever and don't give a poo poo, and you'll get money. I'm like level 90 and I have about nine million spacebucks despite buying and modifying whatever the gently caress I feel like, so it's really hard to be poor in this game.

b) If you have the real live money to blow, just buy car tokens and get cars that way. Sure it seems stupid to pay 3 real life bucks for a computer game 250 GTO, but I'd rather do that than grind out eight goddamned million credits.

c) Just not give a poo poo and drive whatever. Who cares about expensive poo poo, once the parts are free you can largely do whatever you want anyway, unless you like 50s race cars with lovely tires.

d) rivals mode I guess.

Mhmm
You can earn about 60-80K by racing around benchmark A against AI cars for the maximum amount of laps, set it up in a private multiplayer lobby and use the peugeot R1 car, takes all of 15-19 mins, or as people have said, Rivals mode.

The standard cars are crap, and this one probably will be as well. But the SRT ACR STi Mk.III (the one with the aero) is an incredibly nice car, if not for having the dashboard out of an effing econobox. The Competition Coupe is every beautiful kind of wrong, something like a Corvette Z06 on steroids. So it's not like the line is completely incapable of producing a decent car.

This is true, except for what was just mentioned, after 150 you don't get a bonus for leveling. Once those 250000 forza-chedder bonuses dry up you earn credits pretty slow in single player, so rivals or multilayer lobbies against AI is the way to go.

I'd like to join in on the 60 minutes of Le Mans race. I believe the original organizer wasn't available on Wednesday.

I dont want to host because I am located in Grande Prairie Alberta which is a ways away from everyone.

Proposed Rules:

R1 and R3 classes, Random grid order, and 1 second delayed start.
car must originally be from it's current class. So no class class upgraded to R3
Car must be within the spirit of a le mans racer IE no Nascar or Veyron. Aussie V8 Supercars are allowed.
1 hour timed race
Full Collision, No Damage

The 1 second start delay will keep things civil on the first 2 turns, and after 1 hour the better racer will be ahead regardless. 1 second makes no difference at the start.

First person to call dibs on the 787B gets to use it, to keep things fun and for variety. Everyone else try to use a unique paintjob if possible.

If the original le mans organiser is able to race today, by all means repost your rules and we can use those instead.

Thoughts ?

Also, would you be interested in making two decals for me by any chance. (I just figured I would ask because noone else has gotten back to me about them.)

Right now these are personal liveries. I generally don't put anything with the GTCC decal on my storefront. Otherwise I'd be glad to tweak them and have them available for fellow goons. My gt is Swedespeed740, or you can find my storefront by searching for 'gtcc'

Otherwise, let me know what you want and I can see what I can do.

edit:

Just put this up on my storefront for 1k:


However, as I generally do paint jobs for my own self-satisfaction and not space bucks, let me know what your gt is, favorite number, and two favorite colors are, and I'll send something your way. Now, my only stipulation is this: if you want the Armia Krajowa car you're going to get it as I've posted it here, save changing the number. There is a very specific reason why it is painted the colors it is, and if you don't know why you may want to go ahead and read up on them a bit. Though doing so may reveal why using a German car is probably a bit tasteless.

If thats my GTCC logo I made a while back, I've not no problem with it being resold or whatever if thats what you're worried about? Unless of course you're just concerned over pubbies ending up with it on their cars, giving GTCC a bad name...

You know what would make alot of sense? Car Club stickers. So you can share unlocked free to use vinyls with club members.

Might want to keep an eye on the auction house, there are a couple of level prize cars that can usually be bought for super cheap and then resold for 5 times what you paid for them. Plus the more expensive cars always pop up dirt cheap for a few days when rumors of Turn 10 looking for credit cheaters start up.

I have been away for a while, but it was fun racing with everyone last night. I will not be around for next Wednesday, but maybe the following week I will rejoin. Of course I dont like staring at Bora's so ill have to update my car packs as well. And I argue that the 787 sound is better. But I don't particularly car for most Ferraris so...

As for what I want decal wise, I am looking for:
The Independent Motorsports Group logo (stepdad is race chair)
http://imgracing.com/

And the Entropy Racing.net logo (stepdad's race rental company)
http://www.entropyracing.net/ (The logo on the nose of the Spec Racer Renault in the header. As well as just the words if you want to get really fancy. )

If you would be able to do this for me, I would be forever in your debt. I have tried to make both of these multiple times, and making curves and I just don't seem to get along very well.


Also, nice touch on making a Polish Resistance car. Very cool looking design for it.
