I just got my Xbox One and I am getting the LCE for the VIP rewards (70,000 per level-up). I know about driving around Indy Oval in a fast car to gain XP, and I don’t really want to use tokens to accelerate XP. Are there events that can be done to maximize your payouts as quickly as possible?
In my experience - running Rivals events is the fastest way to earn credits.
This.
I’m not sure its faster than just doing 50 laps of Indy on unbeatable. However you can work on your driving, have more fun/challenge, and enjoy the game WHILE making good CR. Time also goes by faster haha.
Rivals is the best IMO. I run P class on Old Lemanns and can make half a million in 30 min,
Running Indy oval with X class Formula one or Indy car, 20 laps, assists off, max drivatars, and max difficulty is one way to go.
All credit to hieroglyph (sp?) for this method. He has a nice turn called indy grindin (sp?)
If some one could fill in the details more accurately, that would be cool!
Although I do agree with the posts about just having fun and the credits will come, if you really want to make money do what this guy is saying.
That said, I’d do it slightly different for maximum results.
Don’t do Indy. The Indy car is expensive to get and a waste of money early on if you’re only getting it to grind credits.
Do Long Beach West, one of the short Top Gear variants, or Catalunya School. You earn credits based on laps completed, not distance. These take less time to complete a lap than the Indy Oval does.
Set it for 40 or 50 laps. Collisions off so you’re not having to rewind because of the drivatars. Simulation damage (rewind if damaged, of course). Turn off as many assists as possible. No point in turning them off if you’re going to be slow because of it. Set the drivatar difficulty as high as possible and still be able to finish in gold. Max drivatars.
Make sure to use a car that you’re comfortable driving for 25-30 minutes on a consistent basis.
Mix up the track and class for variety and you’ll have millions in no time.
Edit:
Also, don’t forget to check Forza Rewards for additional free credits each month.
Second Edit:
Just realized some boob necro-bumped this. Hopefully my wasted 10 minutes helps someone else.
Up until recently, there was a glitch on a Rivals event, which gave you a lot of credit. I got almost 20m credit in about 3-4 hours, and it made the game a lot more fun. Sad to see the glitch has been fixed, though it would be great if another one appeared
Sad that people have to resort to this
It has never been as easy to earn credits in Forza and still people need to abuse glitches?
Just play the gane , and enjoy. Play the Career and , with VIP, you will get 70k each time you level up, mix it up a bit, play a few games of Multi player to keep it fresh, “Tag” and 'It" are fun but not good ways to get credits…
I find that painting and tuning are other ways to enjoy this game… some credits will also follow , if you are good and people use your creations.
I have found that you will get enough credits as you play along, you will not need to spend every thing… I have over 8 million credits now, and no rush to spend them.
Cheers

I’ve been doing a lot of Rival events and earning about 50,000-60,000 credits a session + Level up payouts.
VIP will gift you the lotus E21 F1 (x) class car. Use it in rivals time attack X class on as many tracks as you want. Run the X class championship series in career mode. Run 25 lap private races on indy oval with max drivatars on unbeatable, turn off as many assists as you can, I was getting approx 250K credits every 22min this way with VIP.
I wouldn’t worry about money. It comes pretty quickly once you start racing. Best thing to do is have fun with the game.
Best tips
- Turn the difficulty up as quickly as possible
- Pick a Manufacturer like BMW,Chevy, Ford that has multiple classes to build affinity quicker.
- RACE,RACE,RACE, Forza rewards based on how far you raced. Not how quickly.
Make sure that you actually beat your rival or you won’t get much. The higher the rival, the higher the rival bonus percentage you get. I usually get 30-70k per rivals race, 1 affinity level (which bumps up affinity bonus), and 1-4 driver levels. I’ve had a bunch of 300k payouts in total and am currently at 35 million credits primarily due to rivals. Rivals works if you play it to your advantage with the initial rival choice. As a side bonus, it helps with speeding up getting those affinity achievos.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Also since you are a VIP member activate your bonus level up using your credits. you will level up faster gaining you more cash
I may be new to it but there are a few things you can do.
1 - Have fun by challenging yourself. I play with sim steering, assisted steering and breaking off, and on a difficulty from above average to pro depending on how much of a challenge I want. And how good I am/how well I know the track.
2 - Learn the course, this may sound obvious but a lot of people don’t. They just go on ‘autopilot’ mode (all assists on) for the whole time they play. Sure this works alright sometimes but when you get used to taking the assists off and you learn how you can take a certain corner you get much faster and win a lot more. And this may sound counterintuitive but it does help. Use the rewinds. If you play with no assists you will mess up a bit, but the more you learn the less you need to rewind, the more cr you make.
3 - Set up a car to your preferences and driving style. And when you have a car that you like use it in multiple different leagues. For example use the MP4-12C in the gt series, the A class series, and the S class series. That means you don’t need to spend as much plus you get the affinity bonus.
And that’s all I got.
I hate how everyone calls grinding Indy a glitch. It does get boring, and is easy, but u are racing not cheating in any way. Rivals is also an easy way to get money if u are a good racer.
i agree. you can make over 400k in about half an hour. not all of us have access to bill gates checking account so we can afford to buy tokens.
No need to buy tokens, earning credits is really quite easy just by racing online/ doing career/ doing rivals. I have around 3-4 mil have never done any grinding, have about 20-30 cars including indy/f1 and I am not vip. in about 5 laps you level up one time. so you are getting race award plus 35k every race… that adds up pretty easily and quickly.
i am not vip and i have every non dlc car, 13 mill credits, and have not played for about two months. if there is a car you want its the easy way to get it. if you have ocd you want them all. i have every racing achievment. dont mess with painting , drifting, tag etc… . for me it was ocd. for others its a lack of playing time. they want it the fastest way possible. grinding indy makes it very possible and very fast.
