If you compare the rewards in custom races to the rewards in pre-made races, it's really bad. 75,000 for a 5 lap Gr.3 race at Suzuka, 10,000 for the same in a custom race.
It gets worse though. Custom races are the only existing way to do endurance races, and the rewards for any race over an hour long drop drastically. Up to one hour, the rewards scale evenly. If one minute is 1,000 Cr, one hour is 60,000 Cr. But then two hours is 90,000. And 24 hours is little as 120,000. These numbers aren't exact but are still very close to the way the game scales the rewards. 24 hours earns approximately two times as many credits as one hour.
Is this to counter any potential for AFK methods by making them useless? If so, why must every single player be punished, just to ensure a few don't gain credits in an unapproved manner?
The fact that this game has microtransactions does not give me confidence that PD will want to increase the rewards for custom races. They want us to buy credits. And if someone can potentially set up an AFK method, the microtransaction sales will decrease.
With the fancy new dynamic weather and time progression I was very excited for endurance racing, but now if I do them I feel like I've wasted my time. Why do a 6 hour race when I'd earn three times as many credits by doing six 1 hour races?
