Maximum Credits is 20,000,000

Mate, you have additional pocket on each of your bobs
And dont forget to cash it within your 200% bonus period

Also make sure you cash it at cr10m or any additional will be wasted as the 200% will take it over cr20m!

Um, no. Any funds earned by Bob goes into the primary and only bank account. You're making it sound as though each bob carries his own bank account which is split apart from the main one. By your reasoning we could have 6 bobs, each with 20,000,000 apiece, and our own at 20,000,000? 140,000,000 total? Where?

Turbedit1: After searching further, I have still found nothing to indicate that there are different bank accounts for the Bobs. In the GT5 Manual, section 5-3 there is no mention of this either.

Is this an aspect of the EU version of the game? The north american one does not have it. At the bottom of each Bobs stats menu there is a Prize: Cr: -- area. All 6 of my drivers show the exact thing, Cr: --
Is this something that becomes available after reaching a certain skill level with my drivers?

It is money earned from remote racing mate.

Each BoB can earn up to 20m each but, as I said above, it is best to redeem at 10m with bonus or cash goes to waste.

You totally need to get in to remote racing mate, it is by far the most painless way of earning credits and means you can avoid grinding for cred completely if you have a good set up with friends where you each race each others BoBs. On my second profile I went from level 0 to 25 B-Spec in 2 days without entering a single Bspec race, it was all done remotely AND I got loads of credits.

The prize: cr-- section fills up with money earned from remote racing and you will see no funds there unless you remote race. Worth noting also that you can redeem credits and exp from one BoB at a time, you are not required to redeem all at once... this is why folk refer to "The Bank of BoB"

This. And to add, you'll have to share your drivers online for this, and the Cr: -- will change into a Cr: 0, and then you'll start collecting up money as your drivers are entered into races. The Remote Race FAQ is always a good way to get started. Here's a little snippet from the FAQ:

Q: Is there a limit to how many credits a driver can earn before you must collect the rewards?
A: So far, nobody has run into the limit...yet. At this moment, there are drivers who have over 20,000,000 credits and are still going. As soon as the limit is discovered, this will be the place to find it. So keep on remote racing. Keep in mind, your main account can only hold as much as 20,000,000 credits. This means that if you cash in on a driver that has more than 20,000,000 credits, you will lose any credits above 20,000,000. Still, this means you can store 20,000,000 + 6 * 20,000,000 = 140,000,000 on one account.

And as mentioned by Heathenpride, with the 200% bonus, you don't need to get any more than $10M in a single driver to fill up your "offline" bank account.

That said, I still think the cap is stupid, and maybe it's just me, but I simply cannot sit there game after game for it to tell me I cannot have more than $20M credits, and then see the just earned credits go nowhere, so I frequently have to interrupt my game play to, yet again, buy something I don't really need. Still seems to be the better option, sadly. And if you're close to your 2,000 car limit, you're equally faced with having to get rid of some cars first before you can buy any more. Not to forget having to put game play on hold in order to, yet again, delete items to stay under your 7,000 item limit. That's what you get for progressing far in this game, is it, having to deal with limits left, right and center? Wow, that's just beautiful!

Thanks for explaining that. I had no idea this was an aspect of the game. I always wondered what that CR:-- bit was all about. I don't normally do much with B-spec because my drivers are usually idiots I'd rather not deal with, but if they can earn me cash remotely, I might have to give it a try. Thanks again.

No problem mate 👍

I highly recommend it because it brings in huge amounts of cash AND you can play GT5 when you are not home, how many games offer that? I find myself silently cheering for my bobs as they rake in epic cash and jeering for the competition BoBs

The Bspec forum here has heaps of posts on how to make credits fast. I find one method in particular to be extremely effective, head on over here for more info.

I use a variant of this and I can confirm that it works a treat for me, I can raise millions of creidts in mere hours so I highly recommend doing this mate

I used to use a variant of this as well, in the good old days. Nowadays, I simply run my main in 'Always Use' and fill the other spots with 'Reciprocate'. I've actually still got an account laying around with 6 extremely hot level 0 drivers, if anyone needs one.
