  You can get this in at or around 100 to 110 races. Easiest way that I found to complete this is after each race, go against your rival. Sprint races are better than circuit races with laps as they provide more credits with the loading times etc. So, find one that gives you around 10k (most I managed was 12k) credits after challenging a rival (bonus credits included from difficulty) and just keep repeating the race over and over with the button at the rival screen. You will get close to the same amount of credits win or lose, so just keep at a good one you find.
  
  You can also do this through the actual rivals menu if you know the track as well as class you want to play.
  
  A good method is also to do 1 after every race so there is not much grinding involved later on, but that is up to you.

  Same to me, but not always. Sometimes let me race against rivals, sometimes not. And when it let me, I only can race two or three times before it says that lost connection to the servers...

  Hi everybody !
  
  Griffey95's solution is pretty good but I just want to show you that.
  
  Thirst thing, join a clan with a lot of members (Trueachievements is a good one, because there are members with all kind of skill playing)
  
  Choose the car you're good with.
  
  Start a circuit race, each lap slow down the much you can when the finnish line is near you (set a good time too, because if you don't, your next rival will get you 250Cr). Complete the race.
  
  Now press to play against your rival (don't forget to raise difficulty for more Cr) and beat it! (starting with 1.000Cr is enought it will rise up after 3/4 races).
  You win about 6.000/7.000Cr by beating a rival with 1.000Cr, beating a 5.000Cr rival will give about 16.000Cr. 16.000Cr/1min20 with loading times = 240.000Cr per 15 minutes with loading times.
  
  The only thing you have to do is to slow down as much as you can to beat your rival with the fewest time difference (less than 0.00.100s is the more profitable).
  I started my rivals time with 1min11s and in the last race I did in the video I was only 1min07s with about 15 rivals beaten.
  
  If you break too much and crossed the line after your rival, simply press and replay the part you failed.
  
  (You can find shortest race with 55s a lap).
  
  Once the challenge is too difficult for you, search a new race, and repeat. (I got 890.000Cr with 3 races).
  
  I made a video for convenience.
  
  Hope it could help some of you , if you thumb down please explain why.
  
  Sorry for my english, I am not bilingual.

  Whilst this is a good method, your claims of 240,000 credits in 15 minutes, getting the achievement in about 1 hour using this method are exaggerated.
  
  In your video you show getting 10,904 credits against a 4,000 credits rival in 1m07s. If you have to press the rewind button (for which you take a -15% credit penalty) then in reality the lap time is actually more than 1m07s. So assuming you can even beat 15 different 4,000 credit rivals from a standing start on the first lap, that would be 1m07s x 15 = 17 minutes for 163,560 credits. You need to add the number of times you press Y and the time between races to the 17 minutes, so let's say 5 minutes of extra time. That averages 112,800 credits in 15 minutes, which is less than half of 240,000 credits.

  I unlocked this achievement, using HolyHalfDead's solution and I think it is the best and easiest approach, BUT:
  
  1. I think Promenade Circuit in Nice Massena is the shortest track.
  2. I believe Lamborghini Veneno is a better choice.
  
  Here's a video of the first and the final lap of my 1 hour grind:
  
  

  As you can see, I managed to complete 103 laps in 60 minutes, which means each lap took me only 35 seconds. I also chose Automatic Shifting, so I could completely shot my brain off and listen to the music while completing laps. I also tried Simulated Damage, and I think it doesn't worth it. After a couple of laps, your car becomes very damaged and slow. Here is my difficulty settings:

  You can try different S2 class cars, different tracks and different difficulty settings to find a combination that really suits you.

  S2 McLaren, 12 minutes - 64000 credits. Transmission - auto, steering - sim, traction/stbl - off

  Over 200 laps but this solution is pretty straight forward.
