Racing xp grind

So I've been reading a few different racing guides and I'm left confused on one specific thing, of course the one thing I actually wanted to know most.

When it comes to grinding your racing skill, it's said you should do docks 100 laps because more time spent racing = more racing xp.

So, does that mean if I do 100 laps in a stock class E, I will ge more skill gain than if I were to do 100 laps in an upgraded class A Car? Because the stock class E will take much longer to complete the laps, therefore, more skill gain?
Or is a 100 lap dock race going to yield the same results regardless of what car I use?

I want to pick the most efficient races before bed.. During the day I just do the official races. But at night, Im setting up custom long races.
I'm trying to determine which type of car I should be using, and what type of car I should require other racers to use.

Thanks so much for your help.
Just to add, incase it matters, I'm currently at racing level 4.20, class B, driving a Sierra C.

I am not sure, but I did reach lvl 10 using a shitty class E car. The best part if that if you crash, you won't lose any upgrade.

bruh fedded after making this thread

I think it doesnt matter how long a race takes, but its the distance raced.

So it does not matter how slow your car is, it only takes longer.

RIP

race to fed speedrun new record!

With that kind of trigger discipline the dude was bound to get in trouble.

Thanks Fermion. This is super helpful! So if it's distance covered, doing the race in an upgraded Class A car vs a Stock E class car wouldn't make a difference in terms of racing skill. But technically, using your best upgraded car for the map would be the best because then you can move on to the next race asap.

This is correct.

I wrote one of the guides on RS gain, and am proud to have qualified for URT twice.

The fastest possible racing skill gain would be achieved by having people slut speedway losses to you back to back. You'd have to be obsessive about it, but you *could* be in a speedway race, and have someone set up a password protected race which would be waiting for you to join as soon as the first race is over. They would use a car that's a class below, or not upgraded, making their loss nearly certain. So you'd get the 1st place bonus every time. Getting first is a pretty big boost to skill gain.

Speedway is the fastest, but some minutes may be lost between races, so having others prepare races saves you downtime and gives more skill gain.

You'd really have to have no life to do it with speedway, but docks could make sense. There are a lot of people who don't care about racing and would sell racing losses gladly.

Of course, there are the related companies which boost skill gain also. Fastest possible gains would require getting the right job.

Disclaimer. Having the right car for every track is important. It's important enough, that if you don't have the full suite of cars, even overnight docks races are a bit sus. Do official races so you can upgrade more cars. You NEED all the cars.

Skip the ferrari as recommended in the main guide. It's not end-game. Waste of points. You can also skip the Lambo. LFA is equal to Lambo on Uptown.

If you don't have 11 maxed cars in class A, do 100% official races. Maybe overnight docks. Maybe not. I came to understand that having the right car is critical to winning and winning gives more gains, so I wound up doing 100% official until I had 11 maxed class A cars. Even overnight, I did official races instead of Docks.

A true lunatic with unlimited money, could attempt to hire teams of player to lose official races to them. You'd have to coordinate joining races on voice chat or something. Having like 10+ people on your team, joining official races simultaneously with you, but they would use sub-par cars. It wouldn't work perfectly, but would boost your wins and rate of points gained.

[edit: I never personally paid for race losses. It's just theory. You can see someone's win rate in their stats which only counts first place finishes, so someone who bought losses, would not be able to hide it.]

I tried doing paid race losses, never once did we end up in the same race lol. Waste of money honestly, in my experience with it anyway.

? Their post clearly says they set up custom races for losses and official races required hiring several people. You don't need to be in an official race to get skill gain.

I was clearly responding to AirQuotes and not the OP.

OP dealing with the wrong kinda race incidents in prison over there.

Yeah, buying official losses isn't practical at all. You'd need a ton of people to conspire with tight synchronization and it still wouldn't be perfect. Buying custom race losses would be easy, but still a hassle. I only discuss the theory, because I'm certain that it would be fastest possible racing skill gain.

I wouldn't do it personally. Wouldn't even consider it. I like just....racing.
