Tried out a Peugeot 905, 2J, then finally won with an Audi R8 Race Car '01.
Of the three cars, the 905 is the slowest, the 2J a lot better, but Bob tends to brake a lot earlier than usual. The R8 has a tad lower top speed, but brakes and corners a lot better.
Judging from the AI cars, it seems the R8 ('01 or '05) and the Bentley should be the car of choice for this race.

Bob (L31) couldn't do it in the Judd... Audi R8 Race Car (playstation team) '05 won on 1st attempt.
RH push hardest and pit end of lap 3. Bob L25 -> Bob L31 and Intermediates
Keep it 50% till lap 8, do not pit
Keep slowing bob as tires wear thin, pass everyone ahead when they pit in lap 9
Do a very cool last lap as not to crash and win

Just did it and won with the Nissan R92CP. Aero set low (45f/55r), engine at 1028hp (Stage 3 turbo, then turned down a li'l bit with the limiter), trans top speed @ 255mph, suspension left alone except for lowering it 10mm.
Started on RH, ran a Level 36 Bob hard, pitted on Lap 3 with the others (I was in first by then, but barely), put on Intermediates, swapped to an L40 Bob, ran him semi-hard, regained the lead, pitted on Lap 8 (Inters again), swapped back to L36 Bob to get him some more experience, slipped to 5th, but made it up on the Mulsanne straight, taking the lead and then the win, despite Bob spinning the car in a fit of zeal leaving the pits.
Won it by 9.250 seconds.

Did it today with the 2J using sport soft, no pit stops at all. My bobs level was 30.
Just sec before lap 10 i was only ahead with 4 sec, but then they all made there 2nd pit stop. And i won with more than 30 sec.
I keept my bob in the red area in almost the entire race, only the last lap i keep him in about 50% and "Maintain Pace" due to the tire wear was pretty low.

Easy win for La Sarthe:
My car: R8 Race Car (Playstation Team ORECA) `05
I tuned it completely and then limited to 700PP
My Bobs: Lv. 36 and 35
Start with Hard Race tyres.
Pit after 2nd lap to continue lap 3 with Intermediates.
Pit stop after lap 8. Catch fresh Intermediates for the last two laps.
Coaching: Keep your Bob 75-80% hot
P1 in lap 4. Lost P1 after 2nd pit stop (most AI stop after lap 9). P1 after lap 9. Finished 1st without any problems.
Enjoy the credits...👍
Did this and my level 32 bob was in first going into the last lap, He then petered out and finished 4th. Try again at level 33!

Tried the 908 HDi FAP again, but no luck. Had first for a bit, but he lost it and struggled for fourth.
Also, the 905 was no good for this one, at least for me. Finished 10th.
Have to try the GT-ONE at some point.
Kinda loving this B-spec seasonal. It's definitely a challenge!

Strange. What level are your B spec drivers?
Because I ran the event with my B team (an average ability level 38 and an up and coming level 32) and they still won the event with ease using the following strategy.
Drive aggressively as possible for the first two laps only cooling them down for Mulsanne corner to make up a few places. Then pit at the end of lap two, use the undercut to gain a few places when they pit then catch up with the remaining cars in front of you all the time with max aggressiveness. By the end of the second stint which for me has either been the end of lap 6 or lap 7 (I'd recommend lap 7 as the tyres wear faster as the track dries) I'm normally around a pit stop ahead (25ish seconds) so whatever Bob driver you choose to do the last few laps can take it very steady and pick up an easy win.
Give it a go and let me know if it works.
Just for reference the car has max downforce, gearing to about 255 mph, no ballast and about 700hp which is roughly stock.

May I ask the reasoning behind using the high-RPM range turbo, if we need to lower the HP to get below 700PP? The mid-range turbo will get you well above 700PP (assuming no ballast or aero changes). Compared to the high-range turbo, it provides much more torque, and peak HP arrives at a lower RPM, especially with HP limited to get to 700PP. Am I missing something here?
I'll admit, the best my Lvl. 37 Bob has done so far is 2nd in the R8 Team PlayStation on Sports Softs, no pits.
P.S. Some people may assume that the turbo kits in GT5 must be purchased in stages, as the Weight Reduction and Engine Tuning do. This is false, you may buy and install any of the three kits right away, which is why I refrained from saying "Stage 3".

Tried the Audi R8 '01 on sports-soft, no pit, and my driver is currently on lap 7, just spinning the car around, even though the tires are still at half.
I had tried the Bentley Speed 8, but my tires were so shot by the last lap, that I gave up 1st in the last corners, ending up 4th
This is taking way too much time trying to get right...

I used my level 31 driver as the first driver(8 laps) and level 35 driver as the second driver(2 laps). I won by a healthy margin with the Jaguar XJR-9 LM Race car. I used RH for the first 2 laps, RI for laps 3 through 8 and RH again for the last two laps. This was the first B-spec race that I actually enjoyed.
NOTE: I had to guide my drivers through the race.
