Need credits for that legendary car? These are the three races we use to farm money in Gran Turismo 7, with the recommended car, the full setup and the race strategy for each one. All three pay the same on Hard or on a lower difficulty, so there is no reason to make your life harder.
Note: the method is solid, but payouts and balance can change with future GT7 updates from Polyphony Digital.

The intermediate tyre trick
Start on intermediate tyres even though the first two laps are dry. If rain arrives right after you pass the pit lane, you won’t be stuck on slicks and forced to restart. Then watch the weather:
Stays dry: the intermediates are still fast enough to win by about a minute. Pit once at lap 4 for fresh intermediates, which also keeps you under 700 PP.
Light rain: you are already on the right tyre. Pit at lap 4 for fresh intermediates.
Heavy rain (rare): pit as soon as it arrives and fit wet tyres.
