I did some experimentation with the GT League events, and found out the handicapped car credit & experience bonus is calculated when you compare the N-series of your car to the N-series that appears to be recommended in the event; the maximum HP (if enforced) is not taken into account. So, in theory, in the FF Challenge where N400 is listed and the maximum HP is ~345 (which is the lowest power you can have and still be within N400, FWIW), if you entered with a car that had 245HP (thus, being in N200), you should get a bonus of 40%, as I think you get a bonus of 20% for each class you're under, with nothing being added or subtracted if you had an N-series car above this amount. I think the maximum bonus is 150%, as well, so there may not be much reason to go too low in some events. Also, weight is also not factored at all, so reduce weight all you want.
But, if it does mean anything, I entered an N300-class X-Bow (granted, with around 344HP, but you get the idea) in the Premium Sports Lounge race at Blue Moon Bay, and with my setup of minimized weight and an auto-set gearing that allowed for a 186MPH top speed, I was able to get 2nd despite being so underpowered!
There's this other weird thing. The Honda 2&4 Concept is not permitted in the MR Challenge nor the Premium Sports Lounge, despite being listed as being MR and being 100k credits, just like the X-Bow. I initially thought it was because it was a Gr.X car, but the Gr.X Pace Cars are permitted in the FR Challenge, too. It's a bit strange, but w/e. Maybe it's a bug, or PD simply forgot to let it be eligible.
Finally, if you were aiming towards the "King of the Ovals" trophy, the PSL race at BMB does total to 30 miles (15 laps and the track is two miles long), so that'd be over 1/25th by itself, haha. But the trophy isn't really bugged, is it? Should I just try to get that trophy in Sport Mode/Lobbies?
