i am at 200% so its 140,000 dollars on stage x on like the wind and it takes 4mins and 20 secs. anything better than that?

The standard Red Bull event is about twice that amount with 200% bonus. I think it's around 260 000 credits per race. Those races are around 4 minutes, I think (3 laps). If you win the entire championship you also get a 1 million credits bonus, so all in all it's like 3-4 times the money per minute as you get from Route X.

Route X is easier though, so it depends on how hard you want to work for your money.
 
Actually if you can win all the races in the RB Jr championship then it is best to skip the Motegi race as it takes the longest to run.

Also looks like the RB Standard pays more but I have not ran it through again to see if you can keep getting the championship money. The races are a bit intense but they are short and pay very well.

Edit: For some reason I thought the post above was talking about the RB Jr event but I see now that it was talking about the standard.
 
With the 200% bonus, the Redbull standard. Trial Mountain at 248,000 takes ~3 mins or even less and Fuji at 256,000 is from ~3.20s to mid 3 minutes. Not too sure about apricot hill in time and credits (intense race though), but Silverstone should be low 4 minutes to high 3 minutes at 260,000 and Nurburgring GP/F is in 4 to 5 minute bracket at 276,000. These figures are rough.

Please correct my figures if they are even slightly off. Perhaps the Nurburgring is 278,000
 
I take the Red Bull X2014 Jr. Championship. I know the X2014 Standard pays out more, but it's a lot more frustrating.

Besides, the X2014 Jr. is so much fun. :)

Juniors were probably intended to be fun. Standards do take a while to master, they do become fun and provide a bit more of a challenge, well at least on Apricot Hill.
 
Has to be NASCARs at Motegi. Better payout than Like The Wind at Route X, plus it's an actual race with damn-near equal cars. Doesn't feel like grinding.
 
Most of the people cleared that.
Personally for me:
If I feel in shape - I do the Red Bull Standard championship cause sometimes it can be tricky.
If I feel sleepy - I do either the Silverstone race from the Red Bull Standard championship, or NASCAR Motegi. Both can be easily won even if you make a mistake.
If I feel like I'll fall out of the chair to the floor ... Motegi.
If I do fall out of the chair ... well ... :)
 
Actually ... sorry for the double post ... I've made some research. It appears that on the Motegi NASCAR race the 2 straights are long enough for you to close your eyes for a while while being asleep and then when your brain actually activates again because you realize there is a hard wall coming, you are wake just at the right moment to make the turns or apply some brake to cut the speed and take the corner comfortably. :)
Or maybe I'm just with a wrong setup for the gears for the straights which causes slower times and more time to sleep. :)
 
Like the wind on SSRX is not the highest paying but is the easiest and by far the most boring to grid. I ran it once to get the stars and then once more to test a car for speed. It was just so incredibly boring doing just one lap. The straight seems to go on forever even at 300mph.

Some of the other races that pay more also keep you on your toes a bit and are a lot more fun as well as more profitable.

I just wish they had some high paying races in lower PP non race cars on Nurburgring, Bathurst, Brands Hatch
 
international a nascar cup at motegi is the most credits per minute other than seasonals and the red bull challenge

Another vote for IA Motegi Nascar… It's only 3m15secs, for 7.5 miles total, to win Cr169200 at 200% bonus. Once you've worked out the tactics (steer well clear of other cars until the end of lap three and change down from 4th to 3rd mid-both-bends to give you drive out of the corners) it's an easy win. You could conservatively net Cr2.3million an hour, even taking into account loading times, end-of-race screens etc… i.e. 14 runs of the race. More if you're totally dedicated.

Trouble is, cause I'm at 95% on the game, I mainly now just enjoy fiddling around with cars. As a consequence, every time I find a new car I fancy buying I just run this race, get it and then end up titting around with it for hours on Free Run, not earning anything! Currently hovering around the 5 million credit mark. Don't think I'll ever get to Cr.20 million, so I can buy one of those more rarefied beasts. :grumpy:
