Indy 500???

[corzza7]

Jut wondering, what car should I use and how long does the Indy 500 take to complete?

Is it locked to nascar? i dont have it open yet but if there are no restrictions i would go for the Toyota 88c-v. no brakes necessary and 500 miles at roughly 220 mph sustained speed would put you a little over 2 hours to complete

 

[JAG_-DA-_BEAST]

I just did it with a Formula GT (trying to get to 30 fast as possible) and took me 2 hours and 15 mins.

No limitations

Thanks guys, i kept getting the math wrong lol
Is it worth doing? Like do you get alot of exp?

Why would it be limited to NASCAR? NASCAR doesn't even run the Indy 500.

Xp and credits for winning please. It's probably not worth doing. The Grand Valley one isn't.

 

[DemonBlade]

What level is this unlocked at?

no but they run the brickyard 400 which is close to the indy 500, which consequently isnt an unlimited race either.

Speaking of NASCAR, I'm suprised there isn't a Daytona 500 endurance race.

I think PD missed the boat on Endurance Races.
Daytona 500?

What about the older endurance races?
Deep Forest Raceway
Special Stage Route
Trial Mountain....etc

Where are the fun races???

Its all good though, Im still loving GT5.👍

I finished the Indy 500 not too long ago. I used the Minolta with hard racing tires, maxed out downforce in the front and rear and maxed out top speed for the transmission. It's easy even though the opposition needed less pit stops than I did.

 

[Josh88]

It's great for B-Spec if you're trying to level. Takes my driver a pathetic 2:39~ to finish with the Formula GT but 156k exp isn't bad at all.

It's the most efficient race for grinding.

It's the most efficient race for grinding.

Nope the dream car indy race is 10 000xp for 6 or 7 minutes.

 

[Josh88]

Nope the dream car indy race is 10 000xp for 6 or 7 minutes.

How is that better than 268k for 120-140 min with no stoppage in between?

 

[Centura]

Nope the dream car indy race is 10 000xp for 6 or 7 minutes.

Please explain how that race is more efficient for grinding.

 

[Anes]

I was told you only get 180 000xp for Grand Valley

 

[toyota_gt1]

Dream Car Indy - around 10,000 xp for 7 minutes.
90,000 xp per 63 minutes
180,000 xp per 126 minutes
270,000 per 189 minutes (3 hours and 9 minutes)
This does not include loading times

Indy 500 - 268,176 xp for roughly 2 1/2 hours

The numbers speak for themselves.

98000 for 3.5 minutes in a Ford GT Le Mans2 is the best and easiest way to get XP and credits for me. And since running around Indy is so dull, at least you can take a break and do something else like a trip around the 'ring or check the used car lot every few mins.

I've just completed the MX5 Endurance race. What an eye ache and for what? 165k xp for 4hours where 7 minutes could have got me 196k on the American thing in Extreme.

Credits: Good.
EXP: Not so much... It's quite terrible, actually.

 

[toyota_gt1]

Changed the comparison from Grand Valley to Indy.

 

[Oldhairpin]

Yeah 4500xp for 3.5 mins..................... it adds up you know :-) If you say it actually takes 5 minutes because you have to come out and go back into the race then each hour it earns you:

54,000 xp per hour and,
1,176,000 credits per hour.

I know which I'd rather be doing especially since you can keep going back to the grind and come away when you want for something more interesting. Each to their own of course :-)

the Red Bull X1 had a time of 33 seconds per lap - around 2hrs

 

[Silver-Sylph]

To be honest for XP grinding, im gonna start doing endurance races.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

Indy 500: I used the FGT to knock it out but any LMP car would be fine here. The Minolta is one you should have by the time you get there so if nothing else use that one it'll be fine.

The FGT is very strong but drinks fuel pitting about 37 laps running on vapors but tires are good to go will turn 39s every lap all the way up to pitting and if you do not already have the human stopwatch thophy it is very very easy to get with this car in this race.

 

[GTR-brazil]

My setup for Indy 500 using FGT:

Aerodynamic:40/55
Transmission: 420
Hard tires

Probably you'll be able to do around 38 sec or less per lap without drafting
