No prize cars are reset. If you already won it once, you will not win it again. If you already have gold in an event, there is nothing more to win. Except the AMG Special Event of course where they added a Merc 190 Evo II and CLK-GTR Race Car.

Only cash prize is increased. By a factor of 1,35714 if Like the Wind and American Championship are correct examples. No XP gain increase.

They also added a green flag (start race button) to the post-race menu, so you can restart the race and win again and again and again without going into the menu. That easily removes at least a minute of loading time. So your ZR1 RM at Indy should make you 117,000cr every 4 minutes or so now. Who wants to be a millionare?

What happens if you already have these done? I can't remember if I have them in all Gold or just silver at the moment... Can't even remember what cars I got if any for doing them already to be honest.

I have a 190 Evo II road-car alright though from somewhere.



117K and no need to go back through the menus to restart again is a nice improvement and will make earning money very easy:)

You are retroactively awarded the cars and tracks. When you start up GT you'll be bombarded with friendly messages announcing your new toys.

So are we saying if I go home, and re-race FR Challenge A-Spec, I will not win the FT-86 again? Just give it to me black and white, yes or no somebody ! ! ! ! !

i don't know why you were expecting this to change; nowhere in the update log or what you posted was it mentioned, AT ALL.

At least that green flag helps with the grind. I spent 3hrs grinding American champ to level up and get cr on the weekends.

And really glad they upped the B-Spec purse. I raced b-spec for probably 6-8hrs or so last week, and it felt like I'm doing slavery making next to nothing. I probably spent more money tuning cars for Bob to win the races than actually winning it. *sigh*

IMO, it is the XP that is the issue, not the money.

Still appreciate the patch and additional credits though. Makes the grind almost tolerable. lol

I guess I'll still be lapping the 'ring (x3) in Dream Cars for the same amount of XP until I get to level 30. Looking forward to the 24h configuration on that track. so that'll be a nice change.

How many credits for "European Championship (I think that's the name) - Rome" (Level 22, IIRC). Also, how about the same Championship on the Monza track?

Monza yielded pretty nice experience for what little work there was. Something like 83,000 cr. and 7000 XP for 5 laps.

It's 99,000 now which is nice, the 83,000 already was quite big in my opinion for what's really not a very challenging race event (and that's an understatement) but still the nicest way to grind with some nice tracks (Rome, Deep Forest and Monza), the only limitation is that is has to be a European car, although that's really not something which bothers me at all.
 
Any recommended events for my B-Spec Bob to grind? Some are extended way too much over their A-Spec counterparts, whilst some aren't too bad.

At the moment have him re-running the Dream Car championship in a car which needs no babysitting, 108,000cr per race and i forget what for the c'ship, 400-500k i guess but some of those races still kinda drag a little!

Still, all i want is the Veyron in the online used car lot as it's a nicer paint scheme than the one I have, plus the one I have is irreversibly modded. Snapped up the FGT straight away, having finished saving for it a few days ago, was wondering how long I might have to wait to see it :)
 
I'm currently grinding up to get to the Dream Car Championship so I can get myself that Race GT. I've been doing the GT All Stars races and been netting some good cash in my Formula GT.

I was wondering how these two prize tickets appeared among my prize tickets. Good stuff. 👍
 
It's nice that we get more money considering how much you need to spend in B-Spec if you want to actually win the races; almost all the cars have required me to install at least over 50,000CR worth of upgrades, usually more. The MX-5 and Yaris come to mind.
