What worked for me:

My first good farming race was the DS Survolt race in season 9. The Survolt is cheap to buy and upgrade. It's a fast lap (my best time is just under a minute with no boosters). And the AI racers are apparently terrible at Dubai. You could probably wreck 7 times and still get 1st.

Generally, the races at the top of season 9 are cheaper cars to buy and upgrade, and mostly require either no engine cards, or common engine cards, and either no or few mid tech cards. So I focused on fully PROing cars loosely in the order they appear in season 9. DO NOT actually run the races in season 9 until you're using a double credits booster. The first time running the career races, and complete the stars/goals, you get more credits than what you get re-running the races after completing the stars/goals. So as you get your cars PROed, just let those new season 9 races sit there and accumulate, until you have a Saturday with no plans, then use a double credits booster, THEN run those new season 9 races. I actually let all my new season 9 races just sit there until I had accumulated between 35 and 40 of them, then had a blast going through them with a double credits booster one Saturday, and quickly made around $1,200,000 doing it. :-) The other reason I liked to PRO cars in the order they appear in season 9, is because rather than monotonously running the same old race over and over to farm credits, I like to cycle through all of my season 9 races, trying to beat my own best time/ghost for each one. Of course, this is not the fastest way to farm credits. But why not actually have fun, rather than bore yourself half to death by running the same race over and over? Also I basically NEVER use TK, NS, or ET boosters in season 9. If you avoid this, the game saves your best time/ghost, and when farming credits, it's far more enjoyable to have a goal of beating your own best time in each race. If you use the boosters, then you end up with best times that are impossible to beat without the boosters in the future.

Once I start running into cars that require more resources to PRO, use this chart: http://asphalt.wikia.com/wiki/Asphalt_8:_Airborne/Vehicle_List Sort the columns using the headers at the top to sort cars in the order of lowest cost to upgrade, or group cars based on what engine cards they require, look for cars that don't require any engine cards. And click on the cars' names, then go to the upgrades tab to see whether they're going to require mid-tech cards. Also, as you complete Mastery challenges for lower cost cars, and get free upgrades, LEAVE THOSE UN-CLAIMED! Wait to claim those free upgrades for level 5 upgrades on higher-end cars later.

Also, if you haven't already, consider spending a little bit of real money on the game. The people who program this game don't work for free. If you enjoy playing, and would be sad to see it go away, I think you should be willing to support it a little here and there. As you gain VIP points, you get more credits per race, and other goodies. But I keep a written record of my spending. Otherwise, it can be too easy to spend more than you realize you're spending. Generally, I only spend money on tokens, especially when they're on sale.

I've been playing for almost 10 months, and now have almost 1,700 licenses.
