By the way, not sure if anyone will find this useful or not, but, back during the very first few hours that the Nurburgring TT event was open on the April 18th, I decided to scan through the top-256 leaderboard to try to write down what types of non-2J cars were being run, and which of them were the best non-2J alternative, since I knew that by day 2 the leaderboards would basically be nothing but 2J's, and then it would be more difficult to figure out after the fact if I hadn't written it down while they were all still on the leaderboards on the first few hours of day 1.
I scribbled these notes in Microsoft Notepad about 3 or 4 hours after the event opened I think it was (maybe 5 or 6 hours, not sure exactly). Enjoy:
Nurburgring 600pp TT car options, Day 1 (just a few hours after event opening) super-early vehicle option indications:
1) 2J Race Car '70 (obviously...)
spq03i already running 6:08 in it just a mere few hours after the event opened
2) Takata Dome NSX'03 6:16.825 by TEW_-Raging- (not sure if it's the genuine 2nd best vehicle for The 'Ring, could just be early-event variance etc, since it seems like a couple of the others
are placing solidly higher volumes just slightly further down the list than the Takata Dome NSX '03 is, only see 2 of them in the top 100 so far, but this one's in 19th place)
3) 905 Race Car '92 6:19.107 by Enyo_Grill (highest one is in 36th, looks like there's 5 of them in the top 110 (which is actually "high volume" given the 2J's dominance at this point lol))
4) 787B Race car '91 6:19.982 by TRDxxMRBLONDExx (only 1 so far at 42nd place, except for a black stealth version a little further down)
5) GT-ONE Race Car (TS020) '99 6:20.347 by rocky0120 (This one seems to be the most heavily represented other than the 2J, so might be the #2 option after the 2J perhaps but highest is 48th)
6) Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89 6:24.052 by unnonameless (only 1 so far at 94th place)
7) YellowHat YMS TOMICA GT-R '08 6:27.833 by REAL-BUSTMAN (only 1 so far at 149th place)
8) MOTUL AUTECH GT-R '08 6:28.223 by K-ON_SPEED_AZUSA (only 1 so far at 158th place)
9) Castrol TOM'S SUPRA '97 6:29.823 by tizon-tireg (only 1 so far at 195th place)
10) 908 HDi FAP - Team Peugeot Total '10 6:29.891 by PBelsic (only 1 so far in 206th place)

16) R8 Race Car '01 6:31.681 by shawnskings in 256th place
update about an hour after initial writeup:
A random Vertigo Race Car '04 popped up in 51st place by yellow_number13 in 6:19.965
also there's a random LOCTITE MUGEN NSX '01 in 140th place in 6:25.577 by ORC_lau1664
also there's a random FTO Super Touring Car in 6:27.590 by hoolidaz in 179th place
also there's a random RX-7 TC in 6:29.226 by AKIFD3S in 221st place
And then, one thing which didn't make it into my notes, which I will add into the notes now after-the-fact, is that spq03i actually made a non-2J run way back when the event had very first opened, with a 905 Race Car '92 and ran a 6:18.517 with it (presumably on pretty much his first clean run with it, since it was very early on, and he seemed to immediately move on to using a 2J right afterwards which thus wiped his 905 Race Car '92's result off the leaderboards, since it doesn't display more than 1 time per competitor, so, even though that result would've stayed on the boards for a while, it got wiped off because he beat his own time with the 2J immediately afterwards.
So, I'm not sure just how low he could've gone in the 905 had he given it a whole day or two worth of serious attempts, but presumably quite a bit lower than 6:18 (I wouldn't be surprised if he could've gone sub-6:10 with it maybe). I also managed to save the lap replay of it just minutes before it got knocked off the top 10 list by the 2J's, lol! Not sure how to upload lap replays onto the internet though, but, it is saved on my PS3 for now!
