How long will this last, my PS3's broken and i'm not getting one for over 2 months, obviously it'll be over by then but it's nice to know.
 
No one knows, but I bet once you get your new PS3, Seasonal's will probably be back to normal.

Sorry about your PS3.
 
Dang! - already won gold in most of the Seasonals. Now with the triple credits, I wonder if you can re-enter and rake in the cash?

Is the triple payout just for the new seasonal, or for all those that are available currently?

As near as I can tell, you can't re-earn the winnings from the latest batch of Seasonals, but you can still re-race the older ones a thousand times if you like, and win the cash every single time. They all seem to be trippled, too. I got just shy of a million credits in under ten minutes by doing the last K-Cup one a few times in a row.
 
The K-Cup is surprinsingly fun to grind, and with the amount of cash u earn u can tune up different cars wich is a way to have more fun during grinding. As far as i've heard the triplepayout is (as someone said b4 truly) valid until the next seasonals are online.
 
Kei-cup Eifel track. Mazda Autozam AZ-1

I ran a 57.672 second lap. Try and beat that. 3 minutes for 300,000 is the best grind in the game right now.

You can have 20 million in 200 minutes. 1,000,000 per 10 minutes. I think I'll start doing that right now...I want the MkIV and the two trophies for maxing cash and losing it all.

That's a good lap time. I usually run 58-59s in my Cervo. Easy as heck to drive.

Ok on your car and money thing. Trophy is for 10M, not 20, so easier to get. Second, make sure you clean out the OCD for the hot cars at half price. Third, win level tickets (it the 1000 tickets) to get the big dollar cars instead of paying full price. Lastly, make sure you don't buy a car you can win. One of the high value Ford GTs is a prize car.
 
The Super Car Seasonal Eifel Track will net you almost as much money if you use one of those fast race cars from the OCD. You won't get as much XP but it's a nice break from doing the K Car race over and over and over.

I see you fixed the math issue on your original post (33 3 minute races in an hour = 100 minutes, not 60). I thought maybe time went "metric"! LOL
 
Thanks for the tips, Socal Senator. I started with almost 0 at 9:15am or so and I'm over 4 million now at 10:00. Taking a break, maybe buy some used cars, eat breakfast, then get back to it. And yeah actually in the middle of racing, it hit me and I was like OH NO I HAVE TO EDIT THAT BEFORE SOMEONE CALLS ME OUT. lol.

Bain61, sure it's repetitive, but in a few days we won't have anything to grind for money. Unless you think 97,000 for the Indy Superspeedway American championship is time/money-efficient.
 
yeah, I hear ya. i'm going for the Mark IV too, lol. I tend to start dozing off after about 10 of the K Car races. so I go and do about 5 of the Supercar races to get my blood flowing again. you don't lose much unless you really need xp. been running 5:05's and getting about 96,000 per minute
 
Oh i'm so jealous right now ;) I'm sitting here thinking of all the different coloured F430's I could be buying, i'm OCD like that.

Not completely. I should buy the weight reduction stage 3 and chassis reinforcement (done)

Aero set to max
Ride height -20 front -17 rear
spring rate 3.8 front 4.7 rear
anti-roll bar 2 front 3 rear
camber .7 front 1.0 rear
toe 0 front 0 rear

I'm not good at settings, so if you can beat 57 seconds let me know. I can probably beat it when I buy the 3rd weight redux.

The short gears are perfect for this track. I topped out at 103 on the main straight.

114hp 647kg now. I want to break into the 56's so bad.

Try using a Daihatsu Mira/Cuore TR-XX. Low time I've seen posted on the thread is 2:41.xxx. Use a stage 3 turbo if your using an automatic otherwise stage 2. Should hit around 120 mph on the downhill straight following the left hander past the start/finish line.
 
^ wow that is fast. Why stage 3 if auto and stage 2 if manual? Wheelspin? Just remember what each gear tops out at :) I just ran a 57.0xx

grrrr....

Stage 2 actually makes around 15 more bhp and 50 more ft/lb torque than a stage 3, but at lower rpm and has a much higher drop off past peak power up to redline.

Did you use turbo? If so which one? And what about your transmission settings? Please tell me thanks. I'll see if I can beat your time.

I wont be the last to post times I'm sure but I've run a 57.052 sitting in the Servo...My lowest 3 lapper is only 2:56.058 so I know I'll be pushed off the podium right soon!...:nervous:

High-RPM turbo, 5speed close-ratio transmission (not customizable) and has to be in the K-cup race. Obviously the 3rd lap will be the best, as it's tough to beat the clock against slow opponents. I just made my 10 million credits and got the trophy finally. Only took me like 6 or 7 months 👎

Actually my second lap is almost always fastest as I'm still able to draft off the few cars ahead of me, especially the 3-4 cars going down the hill past the start /finish..

I can vouch for the Mira Avanzato being arguably the best option for this race. My best 3 lap time was in the 2:44.xx range, no lie. Best single lap time was 55.0xx, if I remember correctly. This car alone made me spend a long time searching for it just to do this seasonal.

I was so happy when I got someone to trade me one. It has been the best choice for me and I call mine the "Silver Bullet" since I painted it silver chrome, lol.

Yeah the 2nd lap is normally fastest for me.
