Recommended Cars[]
- Any Le Mans Prototype Race Car: Since the strongest opponents on this race are using LMP race cars, you can purchase a LMP and tune it to win this event without great difficulty.
- Any Le Mans GT1 Race Car: Similarly to the LMP, the Le Mans GT1 Race Cars are quite good cars, but are slighty worse when compared to the LMPs. However, they have a slighty lower acquisition price, and when tuned can win this event without great difficulty.
- Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) LM Race Car: A cheap option, costing less than 400,000 Credits. When tuned, this car is capable of competing against LMP race cars.
- Nissan GT-R R35 Touring Car: Another cheap option, costing less than 400,000 Credits. It is similar to the aforementioned Corvette ZR1 LM Race Car, but this is a 4WD car.
- Pagani Zonda LM Race Car: The Zonda LM Race Car is less expensive than the Pagani Zonda R '09, and can be a good choice if tuned.
- McLaren F1 Stealth Model: Not as cheap as the ZR1 LM Race Car, or the GT-R R35 Touring Car, but still less expensive than the BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97 and the McLaren F1 GTR - BMW (Kokusai Kaihatsu UK Racing) '95. When tuned, this car is very good.
- SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo: A cheap option, costing only 1,000,000 Credits. Due to its great overall performance, winning races isn't too difficult.
- Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo: Another cheap option, costing only 1,000,000 Credits. It is a good car if you want to compete on equal terms with the LMP cars.
- Ferrari FXX '07: When tuned, the acceleration of this car becomes even better than the LMP cars, and has also a good cornering capacity. However, the main drawback of this car is its acquisition price, comparable to the LMP Cars.
- Tommykaira ZZII '00 (fully tuned): This car has few rivals in terms of affordability and competitiveness. When fully tuned, you'll have spent around 200,000 credits on this car, while being able to be competitive with the frontrunners in this championship.
Tips and Tricks[]
