How to unlock the Excellent Driver achievement in Gran Turismo 5 - Definitive Guide

This method will only work until May 20th when the servers are shut down.

Firstly you'll want 10-12.5million credits and buy the Ferrari F1 car either will do.
(if you don't have this many credits use a fast 650PP car in the Online A-spec Challenge No. 4 Nürburging track for 1Million credits a time.)
Once you have the Ferrari you'll be doing the 871PP Ferrari Formula Challenge on the London City Course (10 Laps). Before you start you might notice theses races have a 'Performance Difference Bonus' which means you earn more Exp and Credits for winning the race with a slower car.
Therefore what you'll want to detune your car as much as you can while still being able to win the race, my setup was to change the transmission final gear to 6.5 giving you a max speed of 164mph, Reducing Engine power level to 75%, putting aero to max on front and rear and adding 150kg of ballast.
This put my car at 800PP and for every win i got around 3Million credits and 470k A-Spec exp (the race takes under 7 minutes to complete 67kexp/min is the best I've found), you might earn more or less than this depending on your skill levels and how much you can downgrade the car yet still win the race, I would suggest you set the engine power to 85% and reduce it by 2.5% each time until you overtake first place on the last lap. You might be better off sticking at a level you can comfortably win every time but it can make the process more boring.

For the race abuse the AI as much as you can, use them for cornering and take advantage of how bad they are on the slow corners, and make sure you slipstream them at every chance because they'll be much quicker than you in a straight line.

(My exp and credit rate where based on the 200% increase bonus from logging in every day)

Not everything is as difficult as it seems, on the forum I described how to earn experience without even playing!

Easy money and experience (A-spec)

You can also do the 4-hour Nurburgring, if you have a red bull, wait 1.5 hours from the start of the race, and then catch up. The result is 4,000,000 XP for 2.5 hours of pure play with a 200% multiplier.

We take the car "Ford IV Race car". Power limiter - 540 TR . We don't change anything else

Seasonal events Supercar FESTIVAL (620 TR):

Indy & Fuji tracks. You can easily win with 540 TP at the recommended 570.

Data at 200%

Indy ~ 8 minutes, 1,500,000 Cr (920,000) + 145,000 Xp (89,000)

Fuji ~ 9 minutes, 1,650,000 Cr (1,014,000) + 164,000 Xp (100,000)

Let me explain: There are some useful tips on leveling up, but the described method allows you to boost your experience comfortably , no nervousness, just a pleasure. I was looking for the optimal balance, experimenting with different TRs, etc. It is very convenient and suitable even for beginners! You can, of course, squeeze out another % of experience by playing to lower the TP, but first of all, a relaxed game is important, imxo.

Indy track at 520TP - 169,200 XP (112,800 low TR compensation)

Ps: Starting from level 38 (only for Indy!) I boosted the engine like this - the engine to a minimum of 50% (we get 513 TP), re-entered the track until the starting grid was headed by "TVR Cerbera Speed ​​12" or "Jaguar XJ220 ". Ideally TVR 1st, followed immediately by Jaguar.

Over time, the car loses TP up to 505, but we get (at 200%):

1,917,960 money + 186,120 XP.

Seasonal events - Online A-spec entry no. 4 - Nurburgring lap.

Completed in 6:30 - 6:45.

Prize 500.000Cr and 100.000XP with odds. 200% = 1,000,000Cr and 200,000XP.

To make it easier, we enter the race and immediately exit it until the first competitor is the Chevrolet Corvette C5-R (C5) '00. As a rule, such a situation occurs once every 5 cycles, but occasionally it happens on the 10th. With this arrangement, Citroen usually wins with a time of 6:45 - 6:55.

At the same time, you can buy used cars every 5 cycles.
