Quickest way to break a car in

[GTPDAMO]

Hi all, ive been looking around and can only find old posts, so what is the quickest way to break in a car???. Ive been doing 5 laps on the test track and it is working but its sooo boring. Is there a better way??

Cheers

B-spec while you sleep. Done.

300 km of Grand Valley is the most ideal possible race.

^he got the idea.
However, the Laguna seca race works better. A car is fully broken in after 200miles. The grand valley is only 186miles

Really? I've never had a problem with the Grand Valley race. This is news to me.

There is no problems with grand valley. You only have to drive 14 miles after the grand valley to fully break in your car, while Laguna gets it done completely.

Also, never change your oil when you get a car. You can get 2 extra horsepowers by doing 200miles THEN changing the oil.

I'm pretty sure one of the drag racers here said that a car is fully broken in after 186 miles. Here is the thread. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=258299&highlight=186+miles

While the above options are more efficient, the "quickest" way, is Route X, drafting an X1.

This gives me an idea...

10laps there and it's done.

Ahem. The quickest way to B-spec a car to break-in mileage, is have Bob drive the Indy 500 for 75 full laps and quit.
Grand Valley and Laguna Seca can suck on that, taking up to twice as long.

Make sure to exit the race and save the game if you want your miles to stick around though.

Of course the quickest way to a-spec a break-in would be the test course. But you'll need a friend just as bored as yourself to draft, so basically it's simply awful, especially if you're breaking in a low powered car.

Yep Indy is fastest if you want to use Bob and quit in the middle. And yes you have to be SURE to save because those miles will disappear if you just quit the game. Don't ask my how I know...

But I ususally use the GV race and my cars have never gained hp afterwards that I can recall.

However, you don't receive money/XP for your B-spec if you quit after 75 laps. There're still 127 (?) more laps to run.

127? 125 buddy 👍 race is 500miles around a 2.5mile circuit. Making for 200laps

127?

I apologize, I didn't know anyone still needed money that badly that they b-spec offline for it.
A lot of ways easier to get paid in GT5 than offline B-Spec.

But I usually use the GV race and my cars have never gained hp afterwards that I can recall.

You also have to save after completing any race to keep the miles. A-spec, b-spec, online, offline. Always.

The GV race and Laguna both work fine for mileage, I run them sometimes myself. But the OP asked for the quickest way, and the Indy 500(quitting after 75 of course) is twice as fast(more usually) as either.

If money is your object you're better off doing a seasonal. This thread is about breaking in cars.

 

[Diogo]

I simply do b-spec seasonals

detune or tune car up to 500pp -> Autumn Ring and done.

That's way I win money and I break in the car

What's wrong with multi-tasking?


Nevertheless, I said "while you sleep, which generally takes no spare time, and no frustration/boredom will result."

Nothing wrong with multi-tasking. But there isn't much money or xp for finishing last in the indy 500 and there aren't many cars that Bob will do better than last in this race.

Which is why the GV race is perfect. Many cars will win this race, even in the incompetent hands of Bob.

You get your car broken in, and get good xp. Money is crap but you can't have everything.

In my case I've been level 40 in B-spec forever and all my Bobs are level 40 so xp is completely irrelevant.

In which case you should do a longer race to win more money. Meaning GV and LS are still not a "good" way to do it.
GV and LS serve their purpose for when you're going to be away for a couple hours, or when you just want break-in miles(and care about getting some extra) and do not care about money, or happen to be going to bed.


Of course that's just what I do.

You get crap money and 0 xp. A level 40 driver/owner gain exactly 0 xp from every race.
Sounds as useless for you as it is for me, for exactly the same reasons. That's the opposite of "perfect".

I speak with good purpose! Don't doubt me just because I SEEM like a retard. You need more proof!

I assumed it was a joke, yes?
I mean, I'm on my third or fourth game save and I made the trophy 10 times over, so I guess I assume by now everyone has managed that one.

I got the game in June of last year, and don't really run much B-spec. I run race days, as part of the W.M.A., on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but, for the rest of the week, I log in, get my log-in bonus, and log out again, unless I'm checking the replays to update points/taking photos for threads etc.

You're free to do as you please, I'm not trying to tell you how to play.

Ironically I don't think the OP has even come back and seen the fastest way to break in a car. (with b-spec)

 

[GTPDAMO]

Lol thanks for the replys everyone, im all I think im going to do the indy race as that seems quickest.

Is it better to upgrade a 0/0/0 car before or after break in?

 

[Shoe67]

I don't think it has an effect. All I know is that you shouldn't do an oil change until it is 100% broken in

 

[dr_slump]

Before because it will drive faster then -> less time needed.

 

[The1WingAngel]

Lol not worried about the time needed. Thats what bob is for. Thanx

 

[Shoe67]

As I recall you get up to 2hp more if you do an oil change after the car is broken in
