Earnings vs tracks and laps (TEST)

There were a few posts about grinding for credits so it made me wonder;

I ran some scenarios on 2 different tracks, Silverstone full, Grand Prix Circuit, and Sebring Full.

Running with 0 drivatars, experience points equaled base earnings. Running with more drivatars does not increase experience points gained.

Running fast laps vs slow laps does not seem to affect CR or XP earned when running with 0 drivatars as long as you cross the finish line.

Scenarios do not affect CR earned. (day, rain, night)

All earnings are when coming in first place.

Based on this info it should be easy to figure out any bonus as all will be based off base earnings.
Mod cards, drivatar difficulty, FE car bonus, and VIP bonus X base earnings.

From here forward I’ll only post 10x lap w/ 23 drivatars, and w/ 0 drivatars.

Should give a general idea about payouts.

I posted a lonngg explanation about this last week. Short version:
You are correct, base credits and SP per lap are equal. Scenario, lap time, damage, rewind, and assists do not effect payout. The more Drivatars in the race, the higher the potential payout, however this is based on where you finish. Finishing below the mid point (ex. 13th out of 24 cars) will actually payout less than running the laps alone. Even finishing 2nd in a 2 cars race can drop the payout 10 credits. Post race base payout is then multiplied by Drivatar Difficulty, Mods, and FE cars, if used.

I missed that post then. From what is quoted here it sounds like your post is the better explanation.
My main goal here is to just show the numbers as an alternative to the oval. (which tends to put me to sleep)

No worries, the main take away is that racing a full field of drivatars can actually lower the payout if you don’t finish well.

I have added Silverstone and Sebring per your post
