Hey guys.
I know the question has been asked for a gazillion times before, but I also know that the physics was somehow changed in the recent updates. So, what's the best cars to attempt Le Mans 24 and Suzuka 1000? They need to be relatively comfortable to drive and not uber-fast (I still want a good challenge from the AI, like in my recent 4 Nurb race, where I've won by 7 seconds).
 
For the Le Mans, I recommend the Audi R8 (Team Joest), it's quick, and it's comparatively easier to handle than its LMP opponents :)👍

For the Suzuka... Super GTs? :p

I know :-). Still, some SGTs are better than others. Pretty much all the NSXs can blitz the rivals in the first 15 minutes of the race. I really, really, really don't want to do that)

Then you could take a Lexus.
They are slower than the NSX and GT-R
 
No !

24H LM - Peugeot 908
1k km Suzuka - Any Super GT car except the Lexus
 
I just did this race.

I considered using a Lexus but decided not to since I had beat all the online Super GT seasonals with one. So I never did find out how competitive it could be.

I went with the Yellowhat Supra, on Sports Soft tires with 80kg of ballast. It took a little bit of tuning to get happy with the handling, but not too tough. It was plenty fast enough, I could run 1:04 with it on a really good lap but most of my decent laps in good condition were :05-:06. That's enough to usually gain a few tenths per lap. The AI pits every 12 laps and that's what I got out of the SS tires too, but I didn't kill the tires like they do.

I could have won handily but made too many mistakes and was a little behind at the end(when they don't take fuel meaning shorter stops and faster laps), so I had to throw Race Hards on for the last stint to close the last 10 seconds. I got a 5-6 second lead then managed to screw up on the last lap and retake the lead in the last corner to win by 0.3 second(with e-brake slide).

I think you mean 2:04
 
24h of le mans; Speed 8 or 908
Suzuka: You will not last as long as the opponents unless you learn to drive softly, so anything with good speed should do just fine. I used a fully tuned tuscan speed 6 rm, very light and gets great handling at 570 horses.
