VIP credits effectively the same or less when using bonus cards

From a first test with 30 laps on the Daytona oval I saw that the latest update with double VIP credits in fact give the same amount of credits as before the update.

Before the update:
30 laps credits was 48k
drivatar difficulty unbeatable 48k
so total 96k from 30 laps

After the update:
30 laps credits is 32k
drivatar difficulty unbeatable 32k
VIP bonus 32k
so total 96k from 30 laps

And if you are using the bonuscards of lets say 70% you end up with less credits than before the upgrade.

So now a question to somebody who doesnt have the VIP pass. How many credits do you get from 30 laps daytona oval? Also 32k after the latest patch?

You don’t be getting less credits for same lap. I am getting the same credits for a race as I was yesterday.
I generally get 120k credits for a 130km race which takes about 50min. Today I got a bonus of 130k credits for example. This is a trace worth 23 drivatars though, you’d probably get about 100k but teaching no one on unbeatable? Lol

Indianapolis Brickyard Oval x 50 laps

Before update base credits - 110,000
After update base credits - 110,000

Nurburgring full circuit x 6 laps

Before update base credits - 130,000
After update base credits - 130,000

I’ve seen no change at all in any payouts since the new patch, well apart from getting a VIP bonus of an additional award of the base credits obviously.

I did the Nurburgring laps in the BMW M4 FE with 23 drivatars, and it took just over an hour

Base 130,000
VIP 130,000
FE Car 65,000
Nurburgring bonus 65,000

I did 10 laps around Indy oval last night just to test out VIP and I concur with Dog8MyGamertag. I saw no difference in per lap payout.

10 laps= 22000 pre and post update

I haven’t seen any anomalies as well. Everything is the same, except the added VIP bonus.

To check the OP information, I just ran Daytona Tri-Oval twice in Free Play at 30 laps and all same but one variable:

Earnings with 2 Drivatars: 33,000 CR
Earnings with 11 Drivatars: 41,000 CR

I have always raced either alone, which I know gives a lower payout, or with a full 24 car field. Can anyone say if the payout was different depending on field size bigger than zero pre-patch to see if they changed this and didn’t say anything?

I know for sure that the full field, 24 drivatars, payout per lap at Indy oval has not changed post patch because I did a free play race their last night

Depends on difficulty. Default difficult pay out the Same as nobody all he way up to unbeatable that pays double.

My extra long races in the campaign still pay the same as before, base credit wise, and doubled with VIP. Over 100k base and same for VIP…

The pay out under exactly the same circumstances than post the patch is exactly the same. There are absolutely no changes.
The doubled VIP Bonus has only been added, the rest is untouched.

One thing to say: Yup, no change except we do get the VIP doubling the base race income.

To OP: Recheck your race setting you must have had one thing different, my guess less Drivatartar if you were in free play.

I confirm the only difference is the additional VIP bonus, 88k for 50 laps of Daytona Oval on unbeatable with 50 drivatars using the 69 Camaro FE.

I now get 88k + 88k + 88k +Mods + 88k. Typically with decent mods banking more than half a million for 36 minutes driving.

The 69 Camaro gives a 50% credit bonus regardless of track, plus an additional 50% bonus for exceeding 200 mph.

In order to stop me falling asleep I set myself a challenge each time of lapping the 2nd placed car, the Koenigsegg Agera, by more than 5 laps :slight_smile:

I thought the Camaro bonus requirement was 150 mph…

And 50 drivatars???

I’m sure you’re correct about the 150 mph, I built it to do over 200 to speed things up LOL. It would get a bit hairy with 50 drivatars too :slight_smile:

Stock it only does 155 Max when drafting, 153 otherwise at Daytona. And yes, 150 is where is pays it’s additional credit bonus.

Career feels like its the same payout, but since everyone’s saying the payout is the same I’ll have to recheck again

Hmm I haven’t noticed any different credits, other than the adding of the VIP bonus. I usually do Suzuka so i know that hasn’t changed.

I too thought the payout was lower but I don’t have any solid figures from before the patch… or maybe that’s just me being cynical. A 25 lap race of Daytona with unbeatable drivatars now gets me 44K + 44K vip. Looking at the previous posts that seems right.

yes that’s right, I was getting 88,000 base credits for 50 laps around Daytona before the patch, and the same now. The game’s economy hasn’t been adjusted at all.

I think we are getting to the point where we are just looking for new ways the company can diddle us, when in reality they are trying to make it right.
