I think worst R10 just because they ruined the car.
Best just from experience in these kinds of series seems to be the Bentley.

WORST:Gillet Vertigo why?? Powerless, braking distance of a fckng mile
The Vertigo isn't actually an LMP, it's a GT car, and I think I read that PD put the wrong weight/HP for it too.

Your the major fail here, The Audi has 5 gears and when game was released it had 6, PD corrected that and if you read above you will find the Audi is the only LMP that is close in game to real life, All the others are on testerone/boosted power.

Can't say I really dislike any of the LMP/GTP cars, though if pushed I'd probably nominate the BMW LMR as my least favourite. I've got all of them except the Bentley, I really enjoy driving the 905, though it isn't the fastest it's easy to throw around and really drive it hard. I love the power of the two Nissan Group C cars, the sound of the Mazda, and the cornering and torque on the 908.

Best: 787B (Orgasm at 10,500rpm)
Worst: R10 TDI (Handling is shocking and power delivery takes a bloody decade)

Why is everyone hating on the Audi R10 TDI? In reality it is probably the closest to real life of all the LMP's/Group C's. The car was designed for Endurance - not raw speed like the others. And because it's a Diesel too, it doesn't have as much BHP as the Petrol powered Group C's, so PDI were very close to it's real brother.
Personally, I think most people dislike it because of it's lack of accelration and raw speed, but remember, that's how the real car drives.
My only complaint about the R10 TDI is it looks 'Plasticy', if y'know what I mean.
Back on topic.. I hate none of the LMP's or Group C's. Not even the Vertigo, despite it's braking distance..

How is the Vertigo an LMP/Group C car anyway? I've seen it lumped together with them a lot, did PD include it in the online classes?
As far as I can tell It's a race-designed stripped-down version of a road car, not a scratch-built prototype. With obviously less power(and I'd assume some more weight) it competed for years in GT racing. Seems a lot more akin to the McLaren F1 GTR than the Sauber C9.
And it sounds brutal enough to make up for its braking.

THe Vertigo is one of the most inaccurate power/weighted cars in the game. It's a GT car that should compete against the Corvette, Viper, M3 etc.
Even the M3 being less power then the corvette is off.. and the Viper destroying the corvette is also wrong. I really dislike the imbalance of the GT cars in this game. Seems like PD threw any random numbers into their specs.

Love: Toyota GT-One. Been a favourite of mine since Gran Turismo 3, and since I watched the TS020 race round Le Mans when I was 6/7. Just feels brilliant to drive fast.
Hate: Audi R10 TDi. It's a common hatred, it appears, on this thread. I see why. The handling is disgraceful.

The Audi R10 is certainly no slouch in the straight line, but it feels numb when the corners arrive.

Old, but still totally relevant, my research.

Also a tuned R10 is actually very quick.

This is the list we are talking about.
Yep, in the Le Mans and Nurburgring, the Audi R8 is always the winner (After me of course) but that's because the likes of Nissan R92, Sauber C9, Minolta and R89 don't participate in them in those races A or B-spec.
However in "Gran Turismo All Stars" event Audi R8 always loses against the 4 cars I listed above.
So yeah if we go by AI driving:
Nissan R92, Minolta Toyota, Sauber C9 and Nissan R89 are the best Le Mans cars there is.
I personally think the same, however without aids, both these two Nissans are hard o the throttle but I can still handle them pretty well.
The best overall for me is the Sauber C9.
Worst is definitely the Nissan R390, is always behind all the cars in the list. Then it comes the Audi R10, and from there on all cars seem even. Except that the top tier ones are definitely the 4 ones I stated and the Audi R8, Jaguar XJR-9 and the Pescarolo Hybrid. These are the top tier ones. The 787B is the best after all these but it's definitely the one with the best sound IMO.
Toyota GT-ONE is always behind (AI driving it) most of the cars in the List. Only the R10, R390, CLK-GTR are the only ones that he wins over to. I don't know why so many people think it's best when it clearly isn't. It's probably the most favourited but not the best. The top tiers that I mentioned eat the GT-ONE for breakfeast. It's the best Top Speed car but it's not the best in a track, far from it.
Nonetheless my personal opinion goes for the Sauber C9 as it was the car I did the best time in Suzuka among all these (didn't drive some like the R390, the R10, the 908 but that's because I didn't need it because by their specs they were clearly not among the best).

R390 is a GT car not an LMP.. isn't it?

GT1 cars were considered as Prototypes in the late 90's, as they were modified so much.
If you have ever heard of the Dauer 962 Le Mans run by Porsche, you may know what I'm on about. Or the the Porsche 911 GT1 for that matter.

Wouldn't the Panoz and Mclaren fall into that category.
