If you already know about this then apologies for flogging the dead horse, but just in case:

I don't know if everyone can get the 2013 Ram Runner Forza Edition, but the one we are gifted for VIP will award +7500 XP per race at Test Track Airfield.

Go to Free Play.
Choose the aforementioned car.
Select Test Track Airfield.
Timed race set to 30 seconds.
0 opponents.
Start race and do nothing (let the 30 seconds run out, or thrash about if you so desire).
Select 'Restart'.
Get awarded around 8000 XP plus some nominal cash.
Repeat to your heart's content.

At tier 3 I was levelling up every couple of minutes and getting 70,000c (20k plus 50k as a choice but you can select the car or gear instead).
I took the odd car when it was too good to turn down, but within an hour I had over a million more credits, 7 new rare cars, and moved up to collector tier 4.

Again, you probably already know this anyway but thought I'd post it just in case. It's a hell of a lot easier than the "elastic band/Red Bull X" grind from GT5.
 
3 hours of this over the past couple of days has got me to Tier 10. I'd take the car everytime if you have the cash as that will increase your tier and you get better reward cars the higher your tier. Only take the cash if you don't have enough to buy the reward car.
 
Lol when I saw that car I already thought about doing 1 lap races with it, but was too busy with career mode. I didn’t know you could do 30s races.

Gave it a try a few times while already level 55 and this works nice. Basically every car at 400k credits or lower will be free since that’s my current car collecting tier (12).

I expect a hotfix tomorrow since this is hurting Turn 10 where it really matters: money . :P

It is pretty silly that races end when the timer runs out. Real world timed races continue until the leader crosses the start/finish line. T10 should patch it so you need to finish the lap before the race ends. Or raise the minimum time for race length, 30 seconds is ridiculous.
 
One thing I learned today, thanks to @HBR-Roadhog, if you want the Car, but don't have the monies for it, you can hit "skip" on the prize selection screen. Then you can collect it under rewards in the progress section, at a later date when you have the money. I didn't know this, I was taking the 50K credits, if you want the Car at a major discount at a later time, make sure you hit skip. $400k>$50k. :)
 
I've heard about this twice in other threads, but haven't seen how it's done. May give it a few go's tonight to boost driver level. 👍
 
Those mainly tier 3 cars are coming in nice for the grand total of... nothing. :) just to name a few: SLS AMG, X-Bow R, Vantage V12 S, RX-7 race car, Subaru #199 rally car, 911 GT2 RS (the old one), ...

At least VIP is worth it now. :P
 
They shouldn’t patch it because it’s not hurting the game by modding it it’s just the rule setting on free play and the Forza edition car. I’d be surprised if they patch it but I’m not gonna complain if they don’t patch it.
 
They SHOULDN'T fix it, but they probably will. At the same time, I'm clinging to the hope that maybe they'll somehow miss it or that another exploit will be found. I'm Collector level 14 right now so I don't NEED it, but it's always nice to have an easy money-making and car-collecting option.

I imagine they'll edit the Ram Runner FE bonus from 7,500XP to 75% XP at Test Track Airfield.

This method can work with multiple Forza Edition cars on specific tracks, giving different results.

The Nissan can give you 10,000 CR per race.
The Escort gives 5,000 XP per race.

If Turn 10 are going to "rebalance" this, they'll likely have to make all of the Forza Edition cars use percentage-based rewards.
 
Dont know my level, but am collecter tier 9 too. and i just been playing the game.. havnt had a singel race in a FE car yet.

Does this still work after the update?
Click to expand...
The update was just to fix some stuff on Windows 10 and address a few bugs with the liveries. They haven't rebalanced any cars as far as I know.

And I still doubt T10 is going to change it, because they had to have known that by attaching a flat XP bonus to a specific track people would grind it relentlessly to pad their numbers. Technically you could do the same thing with the Escort FE and a night race at Daytona for slightly less XP gain if you wanted.
 
I read there is a new method where you change the type of race to Drift and in the Advanced settings you change the end parameter (or whatever its called) to "Players in the bucket" (??). No need to wait the 30 seconds, it starts the race and ends after the countdown.

at 2:00 mark:
 
This has stopped working for me ... only getting 500xp a race ... bonus isn't being applied from the Ram Forza truck

It still works but you cannot go straight to drift I think.

select RAM from car menu
go to free play
customize race (30 second timed)
race once
hit restart
only THEN go to advanced and change to drift
from then on it's rinse and repeat with the drift settings

when i first went straight to drift I didn't get it either.
 
This combines nicely with watching TV, I've milked the RAM Runner with drift now to the point I'm over level 300 and 25 car collector tier thing. The game isn't giving me Tier 3-4-5 cars anymore as rewards since I either have them all already, or else saved under rewards. What is also funny is that all the cars that got swapped because I got a car collector tier increase at the time didn't return either. Now I'm only getting tier 2 cars but it's still worth it since they otherwise cost between 50-100k. I assume after I got all tier 2 cars the game wants to give me it will start handling tier 1 cars. Since those only cost 20-50K that is the point grabbing the credits reward will be better than the car (if you want to collect all the cars anyway that is).

I also got 2 FE cars from levelling up, a Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a 1993 Ford Mustang. And I also got 2 cars that you cannot buy yet because they are locked, the Lotus Eleven (the classic one) and that 2017 #11 Formula E which is locked.

You have to do one 30 second timed race, when that's finished switch it to drift race, and change the "end of race settings" to the bucket option. The race will end right as it starts.
 
Yeah ... definitely needs the normal first .... i had tried straight to drift, then tried the normal (which worked) and then back again - that didn't .... so needs normal one 1st to set it up properly
 
I did it once. (I did a 2 lap race)

I did some ultimate cash cheats for GT6, and for me, it honestly made the game worse.

I spent no time wishing for cars, or caring about gameplay.

Granted we don't all want to race 200 short races through a "career", but imagine wanting 100% with 300 billion dollars on tap.
Every single race that isn't online multiplayer becomes utterly useless, outside possible enjoyment, which isn't always easy against AI, especially when you "have" to win because otherwise, what's the point?

I'm sure it is different for everyone, but for me, it really wasn't worth it.


Of course, my current issue with FM7 isn't money, either. It's having around 15% of the cars "included" locked away by unknown means.
Grinding for cash and XP won't help you drive a car they won't let you use until a "Forzathon" 5 months from now.
 
To be honest - now Turn10 have given VIP's 1m credits & a bunch of new FE cars and are reinstating 2x credit bonus i'm not bothering with this more
