how much have you made remote racing?

[doctorrg]

let's say i have 19,2xx,xxx CR in the bank and one of my driver has 1M from remote races...if I cash him out, will i lose whatever the difference is or will the remainder stay unpaid?

You'll lose it. Once you collect the winnings, it'll collect all winnings of the driver, i.e. the driver will end up with 0 credits, irrespective of your "offline" credits.

If, in collecting your winnings, you go over $20 Million, the normal capping applies, and everything over will be discarded.

I finally clicked over $75M cumulative today.

Sixty-three* percent of the way to $120M!

* Only 63?!? Feels like I've been doing this forever...

I'll be as well. Was at $74,466,920 about an hour ago, with my highest earning driver sitting on $14,268,950.

I have to say, though, I was very tempted yesterday to spend it all. I've reduced the $20M I had in my "offline" account to just over $8M (so I probably spent about $15M, as I played quite a bit, and made about $3). And I was considering buying some more cars. So I'm not quite sure whether I'm going to last, but I keep telling me that it'll be fun to spend in excess of $100M all at once.

are you just adding your money your self? or is there some where i can see the cumulative value?

You're only 2M behind me now? You've made up some ground!

Good old calculator.

And please try to keep your posts in line with the AUP:

Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

thanks for clarifying
i guess it wont make any sense for people to go over $20M for each driver.

has anyone figured out how much $$ you'll approximately need to fetch over 1000 different cars? Is $150 million a good guess?

That all depends on the vehicles. One thousand PDI karts will set you back a mere $5M but 1000 Ferrari 330 P4's will run $20[SIZE=-2],[/SIZE]000[SIZE=-2],[/SIZE]000[SIZE=-2],[/SIZE]000.

From Famine's Car Database, sorting all vehicles by price you end up at $209,947,307 but that only includes Premiums as the price for the standards varies based on mileage.

And let me reiterate:

Seems I've had a good run, and I've got to add just shy of $5 Million for the last 22 hours. That's a rate of $227K/h. Not bad at all. Just a little over half a million left to get to $80M now. My highest earning driver is now 76% of the way to hitting $20M. Won't get all that close to $120M, as it seems, as my lowest earning driver has just scraped over $12M, and I'd have to waste too much credits otherwise.

Given I have quite a lot of the premiums already, including a few of the most expensive cars, I think I should easily have enough to buy all the remaining premium cars I don't yet have. That'll probably be the first thing I'll do, together with buying everything in the UCD and OCD I don't yet have. Then we'll see how much money will be left.

I think I have made 6mil cr since we all started doing remote racing, I need to do something different. I am thinking about creating some more accounts and give a try , I am kind of confused on how using more then one accounts works. How many bobs should have on your other accounts?

OK here goes...

I have:
My main account (6 Bobs at level 35-40)
My grinder account (3 Bobs level 0, but 1 is all you really need)
2 additional accounts (9 Bobs total level 0)

So that's 6+9+1(grinder account can only have 1 driver in the race)
16 total drivers, but most are level 0 so my main account drivers almost always finish top 8, often 1-6.

For my secondary account drivers I don't collect their money and xp so they never advance in level.

I make a little over 2 million while I sleep and another 2 million while I'm at work. 4-5 million a day. This is not counting the money earned by the secondary accounts since I don't collect it.

I haven't bothered to track how much I've earned total.

 

[architype07]

I thought I was doing really well until I read this thread. My Bob's have only brought home approx 2.5 mil so far. I only autogrind for a couple of hours each night as I am paranoid I will burn out the PS3.

This is exactly what I do. I run the grinder with one of my secondary accounts. Put my 6 Primary account drivers in the "always use" column. Then put my other secondary account drivers in the "random use" column. I've also added some other users drivers in the "random use" to make sure it's a full grid for every race.

If everything is working well I usually earn about 250K per hour. Less if there's problems.

 

[GraphiteGB]

About 20 mill. From EU driving.
Beta tester for SCEE so required to play beta content instead of GT5.
The free PS3 services not just new games/movies pull users away from GT5 in EU.
( Gonna shut down GT5 and watch another TV show on PS3 right now, lol.)

Same here. The highest I've seen my Bobs make was just over $260K/h, $250K/h is probably a good average. $6 Million/day if the PS3 is on 24/7.

I seem to use my PS3 exclusively to play GT5. It's not that I don't have any other games (though granted, I don't have many), it's just that I don't really feel like playing any of them. Either I play A-Spec, the PS3 gets a rest, or it's in Server Standby Mode. And yes, the latter would seem to be its predominant use currently.

 

[doctorrg]

And if everything works out properly, I'll be able to tell you definitively if it caps at 20M in just over 2 weeks...

It does not. $20,129,140 and counting.

 

[TB]

Confirmed. Sadly.

 

[doctorrg]

Confirmed. Sadly.

Hey, my highest earning driver is now at $18,375,030 with a cumulative total in the Bank Of Bob of $85,999,200.

I'd be curious to see if, say, you cash in one BOB who has 21 million while your credits are zero. Will it wipe out Bobs 21mil and you receive 20mil -OR- will BOB keep 1mil and you get the other 20mil?

If it's the second result, you can keep widget grinding for as much credits as you'll ever need.

It's the former. It's confirmed as well. I went on a spending spree and got down to $1,555 in my "offline" account. Then I transferred over $20,419,240, which my highest earning driver had accumulated. That driver now has 0 credits, and there are $20,000,000 in my "offline" account.

 

[GraphiteGB]

22mill now.
( Killzone 3, ME2 Arrival DLC, GT5 online racing, Even a new episode of LEWIS is waiting for me as I type. All got me distracted again. )

 

[sebbemann]

made 1,3 mill in 10 hours with the fu***** amazing widget!

 

[TB]

Quick rundown before I start cashing guys out over the course of the next week or so.

P. Fuchs - 20,726,740
R. Leach - 18,920,690
G. Mills - 21,806,880 - As he's the highest, he won't be cashed out until he stops going up, so possibly never.
C. Norris - 19,844,530
J. Cash - 21,757,270 - As he's the second highest, he'll be the first to be cashed out. Ironic name then, huh?
R. Lowe - 14,545,610

Current Total - 117,601,720

And spending the cash is a bit of a double edge sword - all the new vehicles will, naturally, be great but the lame purchasing process is going to get old very quickly.

Nice. I've already cashed out four of my guys. Am now back at 2 x 17M+, 3 x 1M+ and 1 x <200K. Feeling poor now.

And spending the cash is a bit of a double edge sword - all the new vehicles will, naturally, be great but the lame purchasing process is going to get old very quickly.

It's painful indeed. Talk about grinding your way through the dealerships. Went to every single brand buying what I didn't have, one by one. There's just too much confirming to be done, and then it throws you back home after each time you make a purchase. Can't it just stay where it is? Or why can't I select multiple cars at once, and click 'Buy'? Well, finally got all of the premium cars (actually, no, I couldn't bring myself to buy any more Nascars than I already have, I just couldn't). Got everything that's in the OCD currently, and cycled the UCD a few times for some more cars. Didn't buy all of them, though, I simply can't bring myself to buy certain cars, the V8 Vantage being one of them. I'm so over buying cars!

Ok, i understand the secondary accounts, 16 driver field pays more, and of course the primary account is easily spendable in that primary game save. Do you just gift yourself 1 car a day from the secondary accounts to the primary? Is there a way to transfer the credits earned from the secondary accounts to the primary? Or, are you just playing the game on all of your accounts randomly?

I guess it's different for different people. I, for one, only use a secondary account so that I can increase the money I make in my primary account. My primary account is all I'm concerned with, though. I largely ignore my secondary account. And while it would be possible to turn these credits into <$1M cars, to send to the main account on a daily basis, I, personally, consider this to be far too much effort, given I can make $6M a day with the widget and it's simply much easier to just buy these cars in my primary account. If you do collect up a lot in your secondary account, though, you could always buy some of the more expensive cars, and then share them, so you can use them in your primary account.

Thanks for clarifying, makes much more sense to me now!

Whats the point of earning more than 20 mil on one driver? When you go to cash in, you just wont get it all...

Who says one considers ever cashing that driver in? Maybe it's not about the money, but about seeing whether there actually is a limit to how much a driver can collect? I'm actually interested to know, even if it does waste money. But given TB is leaving one of his $20M drivers online, I felt free to cash in all my drivers. Cashed in my last one close to $20M last night, at $19.88M. Now my highest earning driver is at $4M+.

No, no. I understand what TB is doing, I'm just saying for all practical purposes as far as strictly earning money to complete the game, there doesnt seem to be much reason to...

But as far as what the actual "Limit" is, yes, im interested to know...

 

[doctorrg]

Aah ok, no, there isn't. I actually find it rather odd that you can collect more money with one of your drivers than you can cash in. But who knows? Maybe by the time TB has reached $100M with his highest earning driver, PD will have released a patch to increase the credit limit to $100M?

Then someone else is going to have to take over the search. About a week ago my PS3 died, I believe it's a hard drive failure but I haven't had a lot of time to look into it yet.

My wife said a new PS3 can be purchased (actually she made me promise that I would buy a new one ) but some work needs to be done around the house first, specifically finishing up some cabinets. [/off topic]
