I might go ahead and try this race to get up to Level 32 to do the 4-hour Nurburgring Endurance. I am half way through level 31, so could you tell me if I will rank up, and if its enjoyable. Plus whats the best car to use, thats premium and will give some good competition.

I believe you'll level up, but I can't say for certain.
There's a matrix thread on the forum that will give you the XP that you'll earn for each race. I'd check that to confirm...

When I did this race, I used my Chevy Camaro SS '10 RM.
I've powered it up beyond the actual racing mod.
It's a 650-ish PP beast that's easy to drive.
(My only complaint is that it eats rear tires like they're candy - but that might be because I've got one heck of a lead foot, so to speak...)

Good luck!

Peace...
 
I ran this race 3 times (pre 1.06 to rank up). I remember winning it in a stock 08 Challenger and a stock Prowler, even with the pitting glitch.

I don't think you'll level up but it's a pretty fun race anyway, I did it in a c60 hybride because that's wat the had in Indy (didn't look at opponent cars) but they're all American muscle so base your decision on that
 
That's a track worth driving on for a few hours! 👍 Do it.
 
A couple of my friends said it was fairly enjoyable in a Ferrari 430 Scuderia. I have 2.3 million, but I want to keep my money.

That will be a massive overkill, unless you enjoy lapping other cars multiple times. I was able to win with a stock 69 Corvette by a minute or so.
 
I did it in the premium ford gt lm spec ii it was actually quite fun. That car was overkill but I was looking for a reason to use it since I had just bought it. Also I was partaking in a few beers and didn't want to lose a small lead 2 hours in cause I was getting drunk. Didn't get drunk and won by a good margin. True story yo.
 
Awesome race. I did it in the Suzuki GSXR/4.

Pitted once on lap 65, only because if I had waited till the tires needed changing (lap 80ish I reckon) the tires would have been cold for the last 10 laps. Didn't need 1 drop of fuel.
 
I used a very mildly tuned Civic Type R, actually gave myself a race.

Run the first few laps a couple of times till you see where their pace is.
 
I love this race. I've even lost it a few times by really under powering a car but it's the taking part which counts, right? I would say that Grand Valley is a better experience but Laguna can be equally as fun using the right car.
 
I did it last night with an EVO X. Sport Soft tyres and semi-Racing exhaust were the only performance mods I did to it, other than that bodykit, rear wing and carbon hood for looks. I pitted every 25 laps, the car munched front tires.

Be very careful when entering the pits, the turn is veeery tight, and I mean 20 Km/H tight. Do it wrong and you'll crash.

My only competitor was a C5 Corvette Z06, it pitted every 40 laps or so and had a hellish pace on the straighs (no wonder, I just had like 330 HP) but I ended up winning by 1 lap. Overall, it was fun enough. Remember to take a rest as well in the middle of thr race, that way you'll feel you're almost done with the race and you'll let your wheel cool off (my G27 was already feeling really hot).
