I know thisa is lame but if you have things to do around the house set up a b spec driver with a really nice car and let him win races while you are doing something else....

so i don't have to sit around and tell the guy to go faster, slower, or to pass someone? getting money without doing anything sounds good to me.

I think it was $125k? but since it's not a premium car, the car looks pretty crappy and pixelated in pics/replays. I guess I'll just have to wait til level 21 to pick up the Amuse GT1.

I just use a tuned s2k and do the beg. open class event and once your driver classes up you can do the clubman. I do not coach the driver at all.

How do you refresh the used car lot?

The Opera S2000 is way faster than the Spoon Race S2000.

1:27.8XX @ Laguna Seca -- Clean.

Easy money:
If you are over level 11 and have a really good car, keep doing the Professional Series > Supercar Challenge > Daytona to get $17,300 every two and a half minutes for placing first.

If you are over level 17 and have a really good car, keep doing the Expert Series > Turbo Challenge > High Speed Ring to get $36,000 every three and a half minutes for placing first.


As for the used garage, everytime you start a race/practice, 6 new cars show up in the used section. so if you do 2 races, then there will be 12 new cars, 3 races 18 cars, etc. This works even if you enter a race and quit without it starting...when you go to the used dealer there will be new cars.
