Ways to reach level 50 online faster

[MarcancooL]

Hi guys,

 

I know it's quite a long way to level 50 (unless you're a boss and win every race), and I was wondering if you win more XP in longer races. I guess most people play the minimum (5 laps), so 100% distance rooms may be pretty empty. Do you think it is a good way to earn XP more quickly (play 100% distance with few players, which gives you more chances to reach podium), or the distance of the race has no influence on XP earned?

 

Thanks!

Yep, longer races give you more XP. The longest you can do is 50%, but they also often come with the Short Qualifying format, ehich lasts 12 minutes and pays out the same as One-Shot quali. I guess you could just afk for 15 mins and do something else, then get the massive XP bonus for positions gained. The other problem is if you join a lobby mid-race, you’re more likely to have to wait a long time before you can have a go. 

 

In my experience, lobbies were ok in terms of numbers of players and, if you can keep your nose clean, you’re almost guaranteed a decent finish.

 

50% races on the short layouts are great for grinding, since the number of laps is the same as on the full layouts.
