Does anyone have a record?

[Gt3iSaLlIc]

Im sorry if this has been discust before, the search found 0 results.
I was just wondering, does anyone have a record of most money earned in simulation mode? WITHOUT cheating!.
Im just tempted to see what it is.

Well, nitro_2003 is terribly proud of having 950,000,000 credits, but he's lying.

Winning the whole game only gets you 11,292,500 total prize money, and you have to spend some of that, so we're talking about repeating a lot of races. The most efficient way to get money is to repeat the Amateur European Championship, doing the first four races and selling the Vertigo, which gives you 350,000 (an average of 29,167cr per lap).

So, the most efficient way you could get 950,000,000cr would be to repeat the Amateur European Championship 2,715 times, for a total of 10,860 three-lap races and a lot of time with the save-load trick.

What about doing the GT World Championship, getting the GT-one Road Car and selling it for 500,000 credits, plus what you make from the races, that would be faster than the Euro Championship.

Again with the time-consuming save-reload trick.

Going at a BARE minimum - just taking race times, assuming you're in an F1 car and really, really good at all the tracks, BBM's way would take 724 minutes - or 12 hours straight. You could instantly double that for all the menu time, then Christ knows how long on save/reload.

24hr just on Amateur European... The magic 3 letters please?

LOTS A MONEY

 

[DoZeRxXx]

but then again, there are some people who have nothing better to do

Your an idiot!.

Anyway back to the thoughts of normal people. I believe BBM when he said that guy was lying, or he has no life, although depending on who he is both could be true.
Anyway money doesnt really matter much in this game, you dont need that much to finish...If you use race cars.
Im guessing a million could probably do it, don't quote me though cause ive never tested im just guessing.

The Amateur GT World is a 10-race series with 5-lap races. At the very least, you would have to do 7 races (35 laps), then start the 8th race and quit when you were ahead, then quit the next 2 races and do the save/load. You get 670,000cr for 35 laps, as compared to the Amateur European Chanpionship where you get 350,000cr for 12 laps. So, it takes you about 3 times as long to make less than twice as much money.

It's not that much slower, but I was trying to give the most efficient way to make money.

 

[VG30DETT]

I think the most I ever had at one time was one and a half million. I never keep that much money. I either go spend it on cars that I just want, or my GTR 34 is getting old and I need a new one. Sometimes me and my friends will get together and have battles. Very fun ones that I'm sure has happened here. Like, battle of the turbocharged four cylinders with only 30k to spend on mods, or V8 challenges, things like that. Anyway, back to the topic... not much :\

Only 24 hours? I don't think so...

You need to make 950,000,000cr, and you're getting 350,000cr per 12-lap series. That means you have to do the series 2715 times.

You have to do 3 laps at Rome, 3 at SS5, 3 at Grand Valley and 3 at Rome II. The F094/S records for these are:
56.733
55.919
116.135
56.320

That's 14 min 15 sec right there, but those records were with a rolling start. The first lap is slower, there's load time, you have to wait for the race to start, skip the last race, etc. I'll just add 10 sec to the first lap of each race and 1 min for all the load times and navigation. So let's say it takes 15 min 55 sec each time, which might be realistic if we assume you can match the world record every lap and you get the Vertigo on the first try every time.

So, you have to do 2715 events that each take at least 15:55, which comes out to 720 hours, or 8 hours a day for 3 months. Even if you could do that for 8 hours a day without having a seizure, you'd probably go insane in about a month.

Question, is this assuming that you keep all the cars? What if you sell all prize cars you could possibly win, and add all the prize money you earn while winning those cars (first place in all races, all races complete--no quitting series mid-way). Of course, selling all the cars wuold leave you with nothing, and this isn't at all practicall, but couldn't there be more money without repeating races just for money (also including license cars sold)? Just asking to see if anyone has actually calculated this.

ok, topic covered now....
CLOSED!

 

[Nigma]

lol

[Vasco]

Wow, you guys sure proved him wrong. I guess the most I've had at one time was about 15,000,000.

If you win (without repeating any races) and sell every prize car you have, and you happened to win all the highest-value cars, that will get you a little under 15 mil, which combined with your prize money gives you 25 mil if you bought the minimum amount of upgrades you had to, which is 1/38th of 950 mil.

It must've taken Nitro a very long time to earn that much money, if he was telling the truth. It is possible to earn that many credits, but he would have to play the game non-stop every day for like a year to get that much! It is very doubtful anyone has reached this amount of credits. The most I've ever had is about 3, 000, 000 credits.

 

[Tazio]

I got to about $40 million & I got sick of the game & stopped playing for like a month. On my current game, I'm close to $30 million and, of course, I haven't played in about a week & a half.

 

[Bollocks#999]

how about looking in the game staus screen and looking at prize total earnt? Im sure that would be the best way of doing this, and it would be fair as well
I mean anybody can do the cash injection deal, it aint that hard, so how bout it?
my total stands at 53,305,600

Well, I DID say with just the race times... You forgot 3 laps of Cote as well. And it looks like I typed in /3600 instead of /60. But apart from that

F1s typically do an outlap 7s slower than the fastest fast lap (I calculate Endurance race distances a lot - this is useful to know, as is the average 0.5s loss per tyre grade per axle, and the average 25s pit stop, varying depending on pit straight length).

But nonetheless it's still a big case of:

(without cheating your ass off with a Gameshark... )

nfw?

 

[VG30DETT]

No fu**ing way. I think

 

[Bollocks#999]

yes, thats what it would mean

does everything have to be spelt out for most people here?

 

[BadBatsuMaru]

Even if you did spend months racing for money, you wouldn't stop at 950,000,000. You would go the rest of the way to 1 billion.

He probably used a cheat to get 1 billion then spent 50 million of it on cars... Or I think some versions of GT 2001 Tokyo give you 1 billion for GT3 (as opposed to the 10 mil you get for winning Tokyo-Geneva).

 

[1mic]

only me and a few people can win a 10 race series with winning just 5...

no gs2

Huh? What's that have to do with anything? It's not often that you see someone with 1700 posts make a cocky off-topic post with a mad face...


And BTW, it's pretty easy for anybody to win a 10-race series only winning the first 5 races. You just ram the best AI car a few times. After 5 races, you have 50 points and the AI leader has 5. On races 6 - 10, you just have to take a second to get into the lead before you quit the race. You will have 50 points, and the next best car will have a max of 35.

There's no way to actually play fair and win a 10-race series only running 5 of the races, because the best AI car would end up with 80 points most of the time, and you could only have 50. You have to exploit the fact that quitting in the lead means nobody gets 10 points.

You could win a series only doing 4 of 10 races if you did it right. It'd be possible for you to have 40 points and all the other cars to have 32.

Y I D.. NM

Anyone with persistance, determination and a number of holes in their bodywork can win a 10 race series in 5, as BBM points out. Not just you and a few others.

I dont race 5 out of 10 races in a series, I do all of them, maybe be a couple of holes in the bodywork (hey who wont have?) but there is no way Im gonna ram an AI car out of the way unless I get hit first

 

[Famine]

I have a comedy (PAL) replay stored on my site of a complete race fix. I decided that the last-place AI Audi S4 deserved more, so I trapped ALL FOUR other AI cars behind barriers (I was in a P002) and pushed him round to the finish Although I took the lead a few yards before the line...

 

[Bollocks#999]

of course, gotta get the win
nice move trapping 4 out of 5
