GRID

This is strongly linked to your driver style.

If you drive like in a Forza Horizon or NFS game, this should come like a breeze. You can get drift, near miss, undercut combos and so on. Also without damage, you get ~3k points per race (avg 2/3 laps) with no effort.

However, if you are more on the sim-like side (Forza Motorsport, Project Cars*), disabling all the assistances, enabling damage, you get stuck with the Racing Line, Good Corners and Fast Lap combos only. This gets you roughly 1.5k points per race.

FYI, I finished all career events with gold, repeating 10 races max, and ended up at 66 level. I drove simulator style.

What I recommend: have fun! Drive at your own peace/style. If you own the DLC, when finishing career you should have already achieved level 99.

If you wanna grind XP faster, do it together with the Around the Globe cheevo: set up 10 laps on a oval track (e.g. Indianapolis), get fast lap + proximity + race line + good corner combos. Also, keep AI on Hard level, so you can always have one pushing in front to draft and switch positions. Lastly, a GRID Edition car gives you 10% extra XP.

Why only 10-lap sessions? Cause there is a limit (5000 points) on how much XP you can get in each category (speed, skill and bravery) per race.



*yes, I know you gonna say these aren't sims, but you get my point.
