Lamborghini - AWESOME MONEY!!

[Gamerwillz]

I'm hoping that every new events will payout money like the Lamborghini events. Do you think PD will do that?

I hope so. I want to get all the 20 million credit cars!

 

[zanxion]

In the past events there was one that you've been awarded with the money of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions when golding them. I am not sure if that was by PD's mistake or in purpose.
I hope that they bring back more like these.

agree. would be nice to get much money + xp again.

 

[HU-LK]

when they 1st did the seasonals, They gave you the credits for all the positions from 6th to 1st that was the best

:tup:Yes!!! I miss those races...and they were with cars I had!

But you only got paid once, these new Seasonals can be run again and again.

I liked it back then when I could buy cars willy-nilly. I don't really have the time to grind out cash right now.

Earning less CR has definitely made my enjoyment of GT fall.

How much are they paying out?

 

[marcusd666]

The nurburgring track is paying 159600 i think for 7 minutes grind a good big earner.

and why do you want to do that, don't you get bored i know i do, there too easy. Which is why i want an X2010 seasonal or make a seasonal where your all in the same car, like the ferrari f1 seasonal

i agree 👍

Money and a-spec experience should be more than accessible with the automated 2 elastic band method (~1M credits/hr). I am 40-40 and have way more credits than I can spend. I keep having to zero my account by buying another coloured X2010 - I have 12 now!

Now the game is more about collecting nice cars and racing the fun events. Moaning about lack of money/credits is now irrelevant.

 

[HU-LK]

if we could send them i could send you the other 8, i have all 20 coloured X2010

 

[Cyborg65]

A little more cash for the seasonals would be nice. I havent been able to do the ferrari challenge because I dont have an extra 10mil to waste on 1 car, I dont even have 10mil period. Also, the XP earned needs to be more. I have golded all the A-spec races including the first 4 of the endurance, golded all the special races except the mercedes challenges and the X2010, at least silver in all the liscenses (about 50/50 gold silver), and golded all the bonus races so far and im only at level 31. I dont mind a little grinding but to get 1mil+ points per level needed I would have to grind the indy race in the extreme series (the quickest to get cash an XP) I would have to run that track almost 100 times per level. Also, im not doing the endurance races that are longer than 4 hours, I just dont have that much time in my day to sit in front of a video game. I also dont think the XP amount they give for the endurance races is worth the time spent on them. Sorry to ramble, but yeah we do get some good money for these races.

 

[Niko-H]

The Lamborghini races are awesome. They're a blast, and the payout is both worthwhile and reasonable. Before I knew it, I had made a solid million-plus credits and was having a blast doing it. Perhaps the "Bonus Races" were a bit excessive but at the same time, the FF/FR/4WD/etc. events were somewhat underwhelming.

Hopefully PD sticks to this formula for future seasonal events. I noticed the payouts were pretty respectable for the Sport Truck race as well.

definitely agree, bought a Chevy SSR then tune it up just to have these credits from the truck race. I made a cool 3mil just doing the truck race and adding another 3mil doing the Lambo races.... then its gets boring!

 

[frontrunner91]

I'm not a rubber band grinding kind of guy. I would like to see some more of the old Bonus Races. I've got about 450 cars in the game and really only want a few more cars. problem is I'm not going to grind up the 20 million for each of them. GT5 has almost reached the end of it's life cycle for me. I've run everything under 4 hours on A-spec and all but the 24 hour B-Spec races.
The payouts arent bad for the seasonals we have now. If you are still buying cars under $1000000 What we need is some level locked events that pay out better for people over level 30. That's where the real xp-credit grinding gets outta hand.

I got all 20 million credit cars hahaha

 

[MalikJohnson56]

Just hit 4 million credits last night due to the Lambo seasonals. Awesome fun and money too. Breaks up the monotony of Indy over and over, plus I love my Gallardo, it is one of my favorite cars to drive. FGT here I come!

 

[Claybird]

Too bad the cars need tons of tuning to get them good enough...

 

[Tyger]

Which cars? The Lamborghinis? I've been running them all stock but for SS tyres and can win at least one of the races with each car except the Miura, and working on that (couple I haven't attempted yet and think I will nail Trial Mountain or Cape Ring at least). You definitely shouldn't need to tune the LP-670, it handles smoothly and is fast as hell.

Stick with it, perhaps you are trying a little too hard? Drive smooth, errors are punished pretty badly in some of these.

 

[watermelon punch]

Well I THOUGHT the payout was good... until I found that repeating the lambourghini seasonals involves a lot of overhead!! After doing them several times, I had to restore chassis and engine before continuing driving the thing. Granted it's the antique & I bought it used, & almost immediately after purchase I rolled it over on trial mountain on that jut-out before the finish stretch. But I've had to restore the chassis 3 times now & the engine twice since I bought the thing. I'm a terrible driver so I'm probably more sensitive to when it starts getting crappy, but still... I'm not sure the overhead makes this the best choice for "grinding".

By far my best money least overhead easy aspec grinding has been to use my loony tuned Nissan Be-1 to do the 80s seasonal Cape Ring for 82,500 or whatever. I've run that well over 20 times + the 80s Japanese events in a-spec and the rest of the 80s seasonal until I got gold in them all (which took a couple of tries in some cases), and I've only had to restore the chassis & engine once - for a fraction of what the restoration costs on a lambourgini.

 

[MalikJohnson56]

Get the Gallardo (which you need for the Lambo and Gallardo cups in A-spec anyway) put some upgraded parts on it (tires, weight redux, basic engine mods, etc) and you should be good to go. I won all races by 5 to 15 seconds depending on the courses. Easy and fun $$$$

 

[kennylmao]

What really does the engine rebuild and chassis reinforcement do on a new car(premium)? I thought its only for used cars bought from the used car dealership. I tried engine rebuild on my 458 Italia and Gallardo with each only having about 30 wins(i never lose a race ), I mean used them about 30 times, and I dont see any differences.

my question goes to watermelonpunch, sorry,

You've never experienced any degradation of performance on any cars?
Not even the race cars?

Maybe you're that good, that you never hit anything or drive it hard enough to make it degrade fast enough that you'd notice. Or maybe, if you never lose a race, you never enter into any close races with it, so maybe you just don't push the cars very hard.

I don't know what to tell you. Many cars I've used to 'grind' the seasonals, I've wound up having to do the chassis rebuild eventually because I'd start noticing it didn't handle as well. I'm not a very good driver. I'm older, and I haven't been playing driving games for very long, I use a controller - not a wheel... and I rarely enter a races with super-over powered cars because my BF would sneer about cheating & I'd be embarrassed... so maybe I abuse the cars more by pushing the limits, and that may degrade them faster.

Cyborg - Send me a F/R and I'll send you a level 24 ticket for the Ferrari. It may be a day or two until I can check my PS3 again, but I'll send you one.

That's very nice to see someone being so friendly.

My bf complains about the same way Cyborg65 does. I'm a lot more tolerant of grinding (specially with the new k-cup seasonal series paying so well - finally a use for all my many beloved little cars I collect!!) We share cars a lot because there's no way we could both get time to play & afford to just buy them all. Even though we do the b-spec remote racing while doing other things, and we race each others cars & the few friends we have.
I think they actually set things up in gt5 to require online buddies. My bf is older than me (& I'm not young), and I think this aspect of things is very new, very foreign, and doesn't quite make sense to him. I'm new to racing video games... my bf has played them for years - but never online before.

How many races or miles does your car have under its belt before you start to notice degrading in performance and handling? I'm not that good a driver and I don't even drive in real life. I also use a controller instead of a wheel.
Now I'm starting to get what you mean, recently I used my Redbull X2010 to do some extreme grinding, I racked up about 16,000miles(or kilometers, I can't remember) and the power went down even after changing the oil for it.
