Some highlights I extracted from my entries in the Stock Car race comparison/challenge thread. 5 different stock cars, 5 races, 1000 A-spec points collected. 
......Professional Hall : Race of Turbo Sports : High Speed Ring (3 Laps)
Car : Lotus Carlton '90 (Used, no oil) / FR / 340HP / 1655kg / 4.802kg/HP / 200 A-spec points!
Against 3rd lineup available, Audi S4 '98, Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Ver.VI '99, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII RS '03, Dodge SRT4 '03, Buick GNX '87
.......I found the following lineup for Race of Turbo Sports to be a good one, and a very pleasant surprise for Midfield especially! Sorry for the long post.....
I found it by accident, but I can get back to it by repeating the same combination of entries. Does anyone else have any magic combos to share?
The lineup:- 1st Ford Focus RS'02 2nd Mitsubishi Eclipse GT '95 3rd Lexus SC300 '97 4th Subaru Impreza STi Prodrive Style '01 5th Mazda RX-7 Infini III (FC,J) '90 (2nd & 3rd may be the other way around I can't fully remember.)
Got tired of the same lineups everytime you enter and exit after a reset, so I exited the cup and entered a race in another cup before going back to the original race. This gives a different line up, but provided you keep the races you enter and exit the same, it seems to give the same lineups each time.
Here's how to get to this "magic" lineup.
Enter Race of Turbo Sports race at Midfield, exit before starting. Enter Clubman cup race at Apricot Hill, exit before starting. Go back to Race of Turbo Sports race at Midfield, enter and exit before starting twice, the third time you re-enter now should give you this lineup.
Why is it nice? I didn't win the 1st time, and was driving dirty to keep up with the Subaru, despite the lag created by having 2 high powered FF cars on the front row of the grid, he gets away relatively cleanly apart from hitting the Lexus, and he enters the 1st corner in 1st place.
After the 1st time I thought I'd need to restart and hope to be close enough to give him a nudge into the sand on the bend after the tunnel, so I tried to get the same lineup again, and lo-and-behold there it was. Was close enough to the Subaru to think about finishing the race, and on the last lap, even though I was about a second back, he goes off into the sand after the tunnel and spins! Went on to win but wasn't satisfied as I'd been grasscutting in several bends to keep up. So, I decided to see if its a one-off lucky event and abandoned my 200 points and reset. Got back to same lineup, drove as cleanly as possible, some AI contact, but no more than 2 tyres off track at anytime and was about 2s down in 2nd place on the last lap, when off goes the Scooby again, into the sand! Went on to win cleanly this time for 200 stock A-spec points!
A lineup worth looking out for.
Professional Hall : Race of Turbo Sports : Midfield Raceway (3 Laps)
Car : Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J) '95 (6.2mile Used, oil changed) / 4WD / 328HP / 1710kg / 5.135kg/HP / 200 A-spec points!
...........Another stock 200 pointer, 3 out of 3, and in 3 different rides in this championship so far.....
Professional Hall : Race of Turbo Sport : Fuji 80's (3 Laps)
Car:- Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec '99 (Used, no oil) / 4WD / 299HP / 1560kg / 5.217kg/HP / 200 A-Spec points!
vs:- same "magic" lineup as at Midfield in the 3000GT. Relies heavily on a standing start with a couple of FF rides at the front of the grid to block everyone else while you get a clean start. Reached the lineup exactly the same way as I mentioned before, although it requires a little blocking here & there in this case.
.........Its now 4 out of 4 in 4 different rides.
The "magic" lineup pays out 200 points again.
Professional Hall : Race of Turbo Sport : Tokyo R246 Reverse (2 Laps)
Car:- Nissan Skyline GT-R Vspec '93 (6.2 Mile Used, oil changed) / 4WD / 320HP / 1500kg / 4.688kg/HP / 200 A-Spec points!
Just got to find something for New York now, the magic lineup doesn't work so well for a rolling start!
.............*edit* Yeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaawww!! That's 5 out of 5, and 5 different stock rides to make a clean 1000 point sweep of the Race of Turbo Sports event!
Professional Hall : Race of Turbo Sports : New York Streets Reverse (3 Laps)
Car:- Mazda RX-7 Type RZ (FD) '00 (Used, oil changed) / FR / 290HP / 1270kg / 4.379kg/HP / 200 A-Spec points!
Versus (in finishing order):-
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85
Nissan 300ZX 2by2 (Z32) '98
Mitsubishi Eclipse GT '95
Mazda RX-7 Infini III (FC,J) '90
Buick GNX '87
A nice lineup to look out for as it starts with the FF Mitsubishi in 1st place which helps to block the faster cars before hitting the 90 degree bend section where you can easily make passes. It also holds off some of the faster cars from catching you down the straights until the last lap.

I can't remember what I used the first time, though a Carlton did enter the events. More recently I entered them in a turbocharged Lotus Elan S1. Spec was: all engine mods except NOS (210bhp) Stage 3 weight reduction, Fully customisable tranny with carbon driveshafts etc. I did not install an LSD, and ran the car on standard suspension. It was 130 to 145 a-spec points but the car walked all the events. It may be more challenging with about 180bhp or without the weight reduction or both.

The Supra RZ gets the job done. It's actually a nice car to drive which is why it's still in my garage I guess.
