I already have mine but i thought it would be a good thread that for people to see if it takes them more than 62 races. All you have to do is take your zo6/tuned or your car of choice and race S9 62 times. I know theres 1 lap or 3 lap races where you might make 20,000 but whats you total time at the end of the race. On track S9 i average 49 sec a lap, 57 on the first lap. But for under 5 minutes a race you get 32,500 credits. If you know a better way, please let others know. Just be sure to check your total time then do the math to see what is the better way to get that F1 car.

If you know a better way... to get that F1 car

Do all the races once, under your own steam and then download a save that has all the cars 👍

That's a better way. Repeating that race 60 odd times is ridiculous imo :)
 
I believe some have done the online expert races way, whereby the payout even if you finish low is still quite high. 1st place is 50,000, followed by 45,000 for 2nd and so on. Some have stayed stationary at the track side just waiting the race out for the money. You can say it saves time, and also effort if you just want a break but want to earn the credits.
 
What youaredie and deadlyz33 said. I race online alot and still don't have it. I could have had it, were it not for the fact that I bought lots of other cars to try them out. I will get it eventually, though it is not my primary goal. I like tuning cars and racing online more than the F1 car.

Offtopic: Nice Z33 you have there, deadlyz33. I have one as well (GT4 edition).

Just enjoy online play and before you know it you will have the 2 mil.

I average 1 million cr. a night. I have all 4 F1 cars and 2M cr. that I don't know what to do with! You earn money online so fast that you wont know what to do with it all.
 
I just raced online. That was it really. Its possible to get the 2 Million within 2 solid nights of online play, it helps if you meetup with some fellow GTP'ers to race with.
 
I still haven't got the F1 car :ouch: , after A, B, C I got stuck in the Online part, personally I couldn't care about the F1 car. No offense! I rather drive the delta and ford GT Tuned. Maybe in the future , far futher I finish the S-class and buy one ;)

Kind regards,

Oh, I think you should make it a priority, just because its performance is so insane. Its like playing the game in fast forwards. After a couple of online races with it, Ive decided its the most frightening car ever created, youre driving so fast, centimetres away from your competitors and slowing right down in a matter of seconds...going around corners at crazy speeds.
I didnt try and unlock it, I just completed S class and then concentrated on the online events, buying the cars I liked. But when PD changed how much you won, I ended up with 2 Mil very fast and decided to give the F2007 a try.....all I can say really is just that you havent experienced this game fully till you've tried this car.

Ive played F1 games, Ive watched them on TV. This is the fastest incarnation Ive ever seen, maybe its just because you have something to compare it to on the same physics engine. Going from Suzuki Swift to F1 car is quite a difference!
 
2 nights (about 6 to 7 hours) of solid on-line racing... LM Test Car HSR. When tuned to 739pp I found I always started 1st or 2nd and that meant I only had to avoid 1st corner rammers, then run consistent mid 1:09's - mid 1:10 to win the majority of races I entered... only thing that slowed me down was the disconnectors.

Having said that, personally, I think the F1 car is a bit of a waste of time.... I'm back up to 2mil credits now, and already have 4 F430's (in various colours), but I never think about getting another F1.
 
Or you can spend an evening running upper middle pack in one of the online pro races or winning the intermediate races and hit the 2,000,000cr easy-peasy in a few hours.

definatly racing online if your any good, getting podiums will get you alot of cash.

Usually, because of all the lame people disconnecting, even NOT getting onto the podiums will still get you a fair amount of cash. ;)

No wonder some of you are so good!!! I need more practice. Oh, and I needed to make a post so that I could register my GTP name...
 
Another vote for online, so much better than racing in the same dull event. It's not a biggie building up money once you've got the F1 car either, so you can enjoy the racing more.

Thanks, The only GT4 edition Z I have seen was yellow, are they all yellow? lol
My car is far from finished, i'm in the process of turning it into a 100% track car. I'm building a fiberglass wide-body kit so I can fit some 13" rims and some 345 tires. After that's done the interior will be gutted and a 10-point roll-cage welded in :) I really can't wait till this beast is finished. Even thinking about going sequential, I've seen some kits for only 2k.

Anyway back on subject, +1 on what everyone else said, I saved up enough money in 2 nights of playing. I only used the car once though because I enjoy manhandling cars around corners.

If your looking for a sequential dogbox check out PPG. I am almost certian they make boxes for 350's. I know they make them for Skylines, and some Silvia's, and STi's.

Back on subject, I am still trying to get past S class. Most of them are giving me problems.

Nope, mine is black. Don't plan to do a whole lot with it, I like it standard. :)

@Suzuki: Try some of the tunes posted here for S-class, they'll get you through it a bit easier.
 
Summary:
Online 50K Daytona, 5 laps/PRO - 220K/hr
Offline 32.5K Daytona, 5 laps, S-class - 440K/hr

I guess my results have been a bit different. I liked the OP's suggestion of converting this to credits/hour or /minute, so I ran a bunch of races and divided credits by unit time.

Online, I never finished worse than 5th, and averaged better than 3rd place over all races that didn't end in a disconnect. I made 216K in 59 minutes. (220K/hr).

The real problem is the disconnects (4, including a couple in the last seconds of the 5 lap race), and the matching time (~2 minutes per race, which is long, but not long enough to do something else meaningful). Not to mention frustration with the idiots that would rather play bumper cars.

So then I tried Daytona offline (S-9, I think it is?) and made pretty much the same money in half the time. (1st place (32.5K), 7 times, 31 minutes). 440K/hr.

True, downloading someone's 2M credit save would net me a lot more than that, but I personally sort of enjoy getting better and shaving a few hundredths off my lap times. Daytona is solid now. I think Fuji is next. When I finally get the F2007, maybe I won't smash it into a wall in the first lap.
 
^I still think its better to just do it online, because its far more fun than racing the same, scripted AI...so the time flies and it seems as though you get the money a lot faster.
 
Fair enough, Ardius. I would actually share your opinion if I didn't like the "scripted AI" better than the overwhelming majority of idiots who currently seem to race online. :)
