Here’s a short post on getting a million credits FAST in GT5.

1. Sign in to the Playstation Network every day. After five days, the credits and driving skill increases you receive are doubled (200%). Even if you don’t race every day, sign in every day to maintain the 200% bonus in experience and credits.

2. Get your B-Spec drivers up to around 25 to 30 by entering them in a lot of races early on. As your skill increases in A-Spec, you can add more drivers. Four is really all you need, although I have six. Get four solid drivers in your stable and you’re on your way to some big pay days.

2. Buy the Audi R8 Race Car ’01. It comes up every now and then in the used car department, price is 4,250,000 credits.

3. Remember to change the oil in every used car you buy and remember to change the oil after about ten races…religiously. Your wins will increase just from this small detail.

4. Using the engine adjustment tool in your tuning garage, tune the engine down to 650 PP (Power Points). Leave everything else stock.

5. Head over to the Seasonal Events and enter any of the B-Spec 650 events. Right now, June 2012, the third event 650 PP race run at the Suzuka course nets you 519,900 times the 200% bonus for a winning total of 1,039,800 credits in about 20 minutes. The Seasonal events all have much bigger payouts than the normal races. If you haven’t been online, you’ve been missing out. First, the payouts are huge plus you can buy cars from the Online Dealership. Some cars are only available at that dealership. They don’t change too often, about once a month or so, but there are some real honeys there.

6. Enter the race to see what cars you’re up against. If there is a McLaren at the head of the pack, your chances aren’t great but you can win if you babysit the driver. Back out of the race and re-enter it immediately to bring up a different selection of opponents.  Depending on the skill of your drivers, mine are all around 34 by now with a total B-Spec rating of 40, you can beat any group of cars you come up against. With the Fords at the head, you can pretty much leave your driver alone for all or most of the race. When you come back after fifteen or eighteen minutes you should be at or near the front.

7. Tweak your drivers and the cars they race against and you should be on your way to 3 million credits every hour, more or less. Remember to change the oil on the Audi fairly often or it won’t be able to get to the front of the pack.

The Suzuka circuit is one of the more fun tracks so if you want to grind out your own money, drive the Audi yourself in A-Spec. The car is very forgiving and very fast. After a couple of laps in it, you’ll see that it’s one of the prime cars in GT5. The other Audi R8, the later model one, isn’t as fast or as smooth as the ’01.

Good luck and thanks for reading!

P.S. I’ve been thinking of joining a GT5 forum to share some of my experience with other GT5 players. I may write more posts on GT5 so stay tuned.
