  • Increase Difficulty: Higher Drivatar difficulty and fewer driving assists (TCS, STM, ABS) provide significant Credit bonuses after each race. Gradually increase these as you improve.
  • Skill Chains: Continuously perform skill moves (drifts, air, near misses, speed, wreckage) to build long skill chains. The multiplier increases with chain length, leading to massive XP and Credit rewards at the end of a chain.
  • Perks: Invest Skill Points into Credit and XP boosting perks in the Skill Shop.
  • Clean Driving: Avoid collisions and off-track excursions during races to maintain your 'Clean Racing' bonus.
  • Rival Races: Challenge Drivatar rivals on any event. Beating their times often yields good Credit and XP rewards.
  • Online Play: Competing in online races and Freeroam events can be very lucrative, especially if you perform well.
  • Wheelspins: Leveling up and completing certain challenges grants Wheelspins, which can award large sums of Credits or even rare cars.
  • Sell Unused Cars: If you have cars you no longer use, sell them from your garage to free up Credits.

A combination of these strategies will ensure a steady flow of resources.
