Preparation


If you don't care for XP, you want to earn as much credits as possible, I fully recommend using Lamborghini Reventón Forza Edition car. If you don't have it, you can use Ferrari 599XX Evolution or any very fast car or a car that has credits boost.





































Here is my tune for Lamborghini Reventón Forza Edition car.






If you want to earn XP more instead of credits, I fully recommend using Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Forza Edition car. You can also use any car that has either clean skills or event influence or speed skills boost.





































Here is my tune for Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Forza Edition car.









Also, no matter what car you are using, make sure you have unlocked every single option in car mastery to earn even more credits and XP.









Before you start the race, you should increase the difficulty bonus percentage as much as possible. I definitely recommend set 'Damage & Tire Wear' to 'Cosmetic' or 'None' because the car will slowly loose grip and handling even without crashing into something.



Here are down below 3 types of races I've prepared for you, for each race, you will get on average of 200,000 Credits / 70,000 XP Every +15 Minutes. Depending on what car you are using.

Road Race



  • Go to the race as shown.






  • Enter the share code.





  • Enjoy road XP.




Dirt Race



  • Go to the race as shown.






  • Enter the share code.





  • Enjoy dirt XP.




Cross Country Race



  • Go to the race as shown.






  • Enter the share code.





  • Enjoy cross country XP.
XP From Street Scene


  • Go to the race as shown.






  • Choose the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Forza Edition car or any car that has clean skills or event influence or speed skills boost.





Sadly, it's impossible to create a custom blueprint for street scene races for unknown reason.
Ranked Adventure Rewards


  • Go to Ranked Adventure and select the type of race you wish to qualify.



Here are below rewards you can for get for example:





















Every month, ranked adventure season ends and starts again, giving you rewards including, credits, wheelspins and cars. I recommend playing it and to try to reach the highest league as possible to achieve better rewards. If you are not a fan of ranked adventure, try at least to qualify on any type of race.
Credits From Car Mastery
+246,000 Credits Every 2 Minutes



  • Enter the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3








If you don't have it, you can buy in the auction house for a minimum of 54,000 credits.










  • After that, go to the car mastery and unlock all of the perks as shown.









Always unlock the top option as it gives you 300,000 credits and unlock all wheelspins so you can get even more credits or cars. In total you would need 40 points to spend. If you want, you can ignore unlocking wheelspin at the top to save 20 points.



+189,000 Credits Every 2 Minutes




  • Enter the Triumph Spitfire.







If you don't have it, you can buy in the auction house for only 11 000 / 20 000 credits.











  • After that, go to the car mastery and unlock all of the perks as shown.









Again, always unlock the top option as it gives you 200 000 credits and unlock all wheelspins so you can get even more credits or cars. In total you would need 23 points to spend.
Buying Low & Selling High


Go to the auction house and search for cars that are very expensive to buy. For example, Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 costs max 8,294,000 credits. Try to find that car that costs less than 7,000,000 credits and sell it for 8,294,000 credits.

Zenvo ST1, Ford Supervan 3, McLaren Speedtail and Shelby 1000 are also another recommended cars to make credits. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is also another good car to make credits, but almost nobody sells it.

When you purchased the car you have found, I recommend to install the best tune for it and apply the most looking design / livery so you will have better chances for selling it.
Credits From Horizon Backstage
Please note! Cars from Horizon Backstage can only be bought once for each car by using backstage pass. If you already have a car which is from the list in Horizon backstage, and wanted to get the same car for the first time from horizon backstage, then it will work. However, if you want to get yet again the same car for the second time from horizon backstage, then it will not work.

Option 1 - Ford #88 Mustang RTR


  • Enter the Horizon Backstage and purchase the Ford #88 Mustang RTR.




  • Sell it at the auction house for 20,000,000 credits.



Option 2 - Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5


  • Enter the Horizon Backstage and purchase the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5.




  • Sell it at the auction house for 20,000,000 credits.



Option 3 - Ford Supervan 3


  • Enter the Horizon Backstage and purchase the Ford Supervan 3.




  • Sell it at the auction house for 20,000,000 credits.



Option 4 - Volkswagen Motorsport I.D R Pikes Peak


  • Enter the Horizon Backstage and purchase the Volkswagen Motorsport I.D R Pikes Peak.




  • Sell it at the auction house for 20,000,000 credits.



Option 5 - Ferrari 599XX Evolution


  • Enter the Horizon Backstage and purchase the Ferrari 599XX Evolution.




  • Sell it at the auction house for around 10,300,000 credits.


Horizon Backstage passes can be obtained by completing milestones through the Festival Playlist and Super7 High Stakes.

No problem.
heiserR 23 Jul, 2023 @ 3:30am 
thank you
Aspectro  [author] 22 Jul, 2023 @ 1:37am 
When you start the race, always keep to the right side of the highway. Otherwise the game will think that you are not on the road in which there is a checkpoint and therefore, the game will not count it. In more detail, on the minimap, there is a blue road, and on that blue road there is light blue line which is quite hard to see but it shows you where do you need to go to complete the race / circuit. So if the game counted the checkpoint in which you have driven through it, you are driving on the same road. If the game doesn't count it, you probably switched the roads or taken a "shortcut". If that makes sense.

checkpoints doesnt work or am i doing something wrong

To madi: I think you mean you can't win in hardest mode? Do not follow the race road as it's seen on map. Just go straight as much as possible. Just go through checkpoints. Follow the checkpoints like you are flying not driving. Don't try to take turns when you can go straight.
Aspectro  [author] 16 Jul, 2023 @ 5:36am 
Are you having trouble with difficulty? If so, you can set Steering to Normal if you have difficulty with having control of your car. Sorry but I just don't understand your comment.
madi 15 Jul, 2023 @ 7:04pm 
i dont get how am i supposed to get money via those races and max difficulty, honestly, what am i missing?
Aspectro  [author] 7 Jun, 2023 @ 1:16pm 
Understandable. I really thought that it was possible to buy more than one of the same car, but unfortunately, we were both wrong. Well, I will update the guide again and probably I will add more car options from Horizon Backstage. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey Aspectro! Important update! You can not buy a Backstage car again. One Per Customer really means it literally. However! if you've got the car from something else, you can buy it with pass. I bought the Mustang with pass and sold it in A.H. now I can NOT buy it again from backstage. I own some backstage cars that I acquired without spending a pass and I CAN buy them with pass.
p.s. it's not a problem for me. i'll get it back later again somehow. just wanted to let you know.
