Making money in Tokyo Xtreme Racer can feel like a grind, especially when you’re saving up for that dream car or some sweet upgrades. But don’t worry—I’ve got two tried-and-true methods to fatten your wallet, whether you’re up for some racing action or just want to earn cash passively.
Method 1: Race, Drift, Repeat
This method is for those who love the thrill of racing and don’t mind a little manual effort. Here’s the step-by-step:
Step 1: Equip the Right Skill
Start by equipping the Winner of Victory skill. This little perk gives you a 4% boost in CP (currency) for every race. It’s like getting paid extra just for winning, which you were going to do anyway.
Step 2: Pick a Wanderer
Open the map and look for Wanderers. They’re marked as hollow triangles (black in the middle). Choose one you’re confident you can beat, like White Revolution or White Leopard of Yokohama. Higher-level opponents pay more, so aim as high as you can without getting smoked.
Step 3: Race and Drift
Flash your headlights to start the race, zoom past your opponent, and win. But don’t just cross the finish line like a regular driver—do a massive drift before winning. The longer the drift, the more CP you earn. Crashing doesn’t matter; you’ll still get paid.
Step 4: Rinse and Repeat
Stick by the road and challenge the same opponent repeatedly. Each consecutive win increases your CP multiplier, starting around 60K per win and going up to 137K after about 20 races. Add in those drifts (worth 15K to 80K each), and you’re raking in serious cash.
Pro Tip: Avoid pit stops. Refilling nitrous or changing tires resets your multiplier. Just keep racing, even if your tires are balding and you’re running on fumes.
Results: 20 races take about 20 minutes, earning you around 2.6 million CP. Not bad for some quick laps and stylish drifts.
Method 2: Passive Income (AKA Lazy Racer Mode)
Want to make money without lifting a finger? This method is for you.
Step 1: Equip Long Runner
Go to your perk menu and equip Long Runner. This skill gives you a bonus for staying on the track without returning to the garage. At max level, you’ll get a 60% bonus.
Step 2: Max Your Wallet
Before you start, make sure your wallet can handle the cash. If your wallet’s full, you’re earning for nothing. Upgrade your wallet capacity to avoid this tragic waste.
Step 3: Activate Auto Drive
Once you’re on the course, activate auto-drive (down on the D-pad for controllers). Your car will cruise at a relaxing 37 MPH while you go about your day. Just make sure to start in a low-traffic area to avoid pile-ups.
Step 4: Let It Ride
Leave the game running. After an hour, you’ll earn around 300K CP, and with the Long Runner bonus, it’s even higher. It’s not as fast as racing, but it’s literally money for doing nothing.
Which Method Should You Choose?
For Active Players: Use the racing method to stack up money quickly. It’s more hands-on but gets you millions in a short time.
For Busy Players: Go with passive income. Set it up, walk away, and come back richer. It’s slower but requires zero effort.
There you have it: two simple ways to get rich in Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Whether you’re drifting your way to victory or cruising on autopilot, your wallet will thank you. Now go out there and make it rain CP!
