Go to freeplay and Select Indy Oval setup. Setup a 20 lap race, have there be 15 drivatars and put them on max difficultly, Turn off all assists because you won't need them. The Lotus is so fast on this course you won't even really need to do work. This method is kind of boring, but very calming. I'm probably going to do it alot this weekend so I can take advantage of my 1/2 off car prices.

If you drive 20 Laps it should take less than 15 minutes and you should get 21000xp and 21000Cr per race, which means you should level once or twice which will make around 63000Cr on top of the 21000. (31500 for one level, Non Vips only earn 15k per level). Your 21kCr with the additional 100% to 145% for the extra difficultly/affinity bonus will make you around 45000Cr. The % depends on your Driver aids and the Affinity of the Car. Make sure not to use rewind because it adds up. Don't be afraid to slow down a little to pass the lapped cars. You average lap should be around 43.700

All together you get around 110000Cr in less than 15 minutes!

If you are lazy and need a decent tune, go to my storefront Hir0pr0tagon1st. (Hir(zero)pr(zero)tagon(one)st). I named the setup Indy CR GRINDIN. Its a simple setup, you could probably make something better, but its top speed tuned to 210 mph and I messed with the suspension to decrease tire degradation. You could probably do races upwards of 50 laps without pitting if you really wanted to. I do 20 laps just because i'm paranoid, but if you use your VIP tokens on xp boosts, you want a longer race. I put reddit in the tune description. Even if you don't use it downloading it would be nice and would help me out. Hope this money making method helps you guys.

"If you Drive 20 Laps it is less than 15 minutes and you get 20000EP and 20000Cr so you Level twice that makes around 63000Cr + 100% to 145% for the earned Money makes around 45000Cr."

Huh?

I probably should of just made it Hiro Protagonist, since it wasn't taken at the time, but I made it probably 6 or 7 years ago, when numbers in usernames were cool.

If you don't have your Lotus yet, take your fastest car otherwise and try using that. Its going to be slower, and you might need to adjust the difficultly, but it is probably still faster than ordinary leveling. If you have the Mclaren P1 or LaFerrari I would attempt with them.

I'd recommend slowly ramping up the distance to see how the tires last. After 20 laps the tires are at 35% wear. I'm not sure at what point the tire degradation hits the "cliff" if at all.

The fact that there needs to be a credit grinding method makes me sad. As far as I'm concerned, I shouldn't ever have to do the same race twice.

Yup.

50 laps of the Test Track layout A (?) with no assists and max difficulty in R1 cars netted you about 110,000Cr every 10-12 minutes.

You get one for free if you are a Forza VIP. If not, use the fastest car you have, just adjust the difficulty settings. Should still be fast cash.

Remember when you would make an adequate amount of money while progressing normally through a race career? Pepperidge Farm remembers

One the other hand I'm having flashbacks of racing the '82 Corvette in the 1980s sportcar race in GT2 to get $125k every 3 lap race.

I do have the LaFerrari, I will try that. The thing is very twitchy though I still haven't gotten the steering wheel from Amazon so I have to use the controller which totally sucks.

Even just screwing around with friends in online multiplayer netted me a LOT more money than campaign mode. So we just do that on occasion when we're short money in 4.

That was always the case since the original Gran Turismo. Start out with a crappy car and get enough cash to buy an Escudo, then steamroll the competition.

Noah in 4rza(Forza 4) I glitches the game so hard.

I sold my Ford Ka for..... 999,999,999 Credits.

That's why I have EVERY CAR in the game.

Looks like Forza learned a thing or two from Gran Turismo about grind.

This reminds me of GT5 where you can take the Redbull car to Indy, tape down a button, tie down the controller with rubberbands and let the game go to town earning credits for you.

All setups are locked if you don't make them yourself. All you need to do is apply the tune to your car, and drive on Indy. No special driving habits necessary.

I just did AH flipping in FM4. If I recall correctly, the 330 p4 could be flipped by buying low at 250k, and trying to sell at the whereabouts of 350-400k. Depending on times. 250gto could be done in the same way, but with higher risk - prices range from 3mil to 12mil.

Blondude > exizeo - still loving fourza 11/29/2013 at 19:19

If you were really lucky you could nab a 330 P4 for a few thousand and sell it back to the game for half of the purchase price. It resulted in a nearly 4.5 million Cr profit when done.

exizeo - still loving fourza > Blondude 11/29/2013 at 20:13

Nope.

Most of the ones in the AH were reward cars. Reward cars had a 1000cr sellback.

I know for a fact that a lot of AH cars could not be sold for full price. I nabbed 3 or so 250gtos for <1mil, none of them could be sold for 5mil back to the game. Still have a couple...too late to AH off now, may as well keep 'em. I had 90mil by the end of that.

Have you read his other books? He's one of my favourite authors, but to my mind his books keep getting better the more he writes, and there's quite a big step up between his earlier ones and the latest.

Thanks for the tune. The tune was working great for a while, it was keeping me in the 43's, which even with the Drivatard's on "UNBEATABLE" was allowing me to easily win. However, after a couple of hours I noticed the Drivatar times for the Dallara's started to drop further and further, now down into the 42's, so finishing in 1st every time is starting to become "work". Perhaps I'll use all the credits this helped me accrue to buy a Dallara.

Yeah, I also noticed they were getting faster. Luckily they seem to only be able to turn in 1 good lap and then they disappear, if not... crash em out :P

Yeah, the reward cars could only be sold back for 100 Cr which in that case you could auction them off and make 100,00 Cr or so. But if you were lucky enough to find a non-reward car you could make a massive profit. I still have a few I haven't sold yet. I'm not exactly sure why I haven't sold them yet.

Thanks so much for the tip on this. I've been crushing this for hours now... haha.

It is worth mentioning that you MUST tune your car or get someone else's to do this. Otherwise you can forget a gold and you will want to throw your controller through the TV trying. I played with aero and gearing enough to average 208-209 mph with peaks of 210-212 and I can pretty much walk to 1st place over and over with little effort. I've been running 43.500s with little trouble.

I know it was mentioned, but I'll say it again.... DO give lapped traffic a wide berth. They will surprise !@#$%^&*( you into a spectacular mess sometimes if you get too close.

Anyway, I did this for a couple hrs on double XP and ended up with like 1.3 million in credits. Bought some sick cars for 50% off. I plan on doing this until my hands bleed at much higher lap counts now.... knock down the big expensive car purchases.

I'm not sure if there is a suggestion box on Jalopnik but if there was a way to find out how many readers/editors own Forza 5 it would be great to put together a Jalop race one night. Lot's of hilarity would ensue.

Hello, not sure if you can do this still.

But if you don't want to sit there while you do this, You can also find a similar long race and hire a driver and walk away and farm away. Used to do that when I had things to do. Will be doing it again since I killed my x-box and didn't back up the game data.

:( that's the face I made when I loaded it up last week. forza2,3,4 all gone besides dlc

For people needing help with baseline tunes. There is a app for 4 that will pretty much give you what you need to start off with if you want to pay for it but it's about the same as the Below excel. Might not be exactly on for 5 but you will get the hint.

You can also use this calculator/excel one too Forza thread and this is the sight they keep updating it Download and looks like they will be working on one for 5.

I didn't sell them because I wanted to wait for the right time. Usually, best time to sell for me is 3-4pm(est or pst) when kids are coming home. It's normally those people that can't take a loss and MUST MUST MUST get the one they bid on at 500k, even if it goes up to 12mil. One of my gto's went for >14mil, and it jumped from 7mil to that in the last couple of minutes. Crazy shit.

I still want more credits, though ._.

The most laps I've been able to do without losing my mind, and or throwing the controller at the TV is a 40 lap stint.

Yea 40 does sound brutal on the wrists. At least this car is so epic fun to drive it makes it a lot less boring even though its just an oval.

I did the math thanks to some useful charst by the guys at gtplanet.com, and it is a lot faster to b-spec Le Mans or Nur for money/experience. Also no worry of the controller's rigging to break.

If you wanted to grind the "Air Of Experience" trophy for B-Spec, you do it on Tsukuba int he Red Bull X2010. 2.5 minutes a go is average.

An easier way to do really the same but makes more cash is pick a rivals class event,i like doing C and goto Laguna and run several laps,I using run for 15-20mins and when its done you earn about 50,000+ credits,plus 2-3 levels and if your VIP thats another 70k per lvl so 3 lvls is 210,000 plus your 50,000+ and there are no other cars on the track and you cann move up the leaderboards and just keep doing the other short tracks,I try to stay in tracks that take 1-2 mins a lap to complete.after a couple hours of gameplay I made several million.

I just got my Xbox1 and fora 2 weeks ago and Im sitting on over $10 mil not counting all the high end cars Ive bought plus most have all upgrades etc bought on those cars.Oh and Ive only had VIP and car pack pass for this week.I have only run a total of I think around 500 races and 2000 miles total raced.
