Actually they have 2 road races in the year at Sears Point and Watkins Glen - and they are the best NASCAR races in the season IMHO
There's something very cool about watching big heavy V8s tackling a twisty circuit. Both those tracks are proper circuits with big gradient and camber changes, just like the NS - I'm sure a real NASCAR race at the Ring would be extremely watchable.
The Ring is my favourite track and the main reason I play GT so found this one OK - only tune was maxing the downforce.

i really wonder why some people have problems with the prius, the ford or any other race except from rx7 on tsukuba. i just couldnt win this one. not even close while all the rest was just too easy. always won with at least 10 sec ahead and not even the best driver round here. and i am stil using ds3.
so if you have troubles to succeed in all the unlimit tuning challenges, just tune a bit more. impossible to fail!

I'd recommend going and running the AMG Intermediate events for gold to learn the Nurburgring if you are having issues. Being able to break it down by sector really makes it much easier and quicker to learn. Your lap times for the Nascar challenge don't even need to be blazing fast to win the event they just have to be pretty clean with no spins. If you can lap anywhere under 6:50 you shouldn't have any problems winning.

Rx7 was the most fun I had with the past seasonal event..
It took me two tries though, I was 4th the first time I tried, cause I spun out twice.. but kept it clean on the second try and won first place.
I didn't find it too difficult though, maybe cause the car was tuned too well.

#1 were ok, I got second in all of those comfortably and with more effort could have attempted golding them
#2 didn't like the NASCAR challenge, first lap was good and then only managed to pass 1 car for 7th on the second lap (despite starting the lap in 7th.....) but the mini challenge was harder I think, car AT the limitations and yet I was still never close to fast enough. 5 consistent laps on what I believed to be close to the limit for 5th....
#3, meh.... I tried them COMPLETELY stock and struggled, then limited myself to a tyre change. Golded them all, glad for the experience and glad that it is structured this way, but its difficult to get a balance between "near impossible" and "easy"
#4 look forward to trying them completely stock again, though they sound even easier.

Nascar around nurburgring was pretty damn easy. I bought the Racing Soft and Max the down force. I had 2x 360 spin and driving on grass but still win by 4+ seconds.
Hardest challenge so far is the Prius. I refused to tune this POS car and end up winning after 4 tries. It was close too, won by 0.6 seconds at the last straight.

I think the hardest one for me was the RX7 one before the restrictions were lifted. I did manage to gold it with the restrictions in place, but only due to turning SRF on. This was closely followed by th ST challenge. That one was also very difficult to gold.
But for #3 and #4, I'm finding these relatively easy to be honest. Just running the cars stock and seeing how I do. Ive managed to get gold on pretty much all of them with stock cars.

Yeah that one took a few tries and a lot more upgrades than I usually need.
The toughest one by far though was the NASCAR at the ring for me. I couldn't even finish the race until I put Medium slicks on the car and even then I only got to 7th.
Only other one I haven't golded from the 2,3 and 4 series is the final Citroen race of #3. I need to buy the car first and haven't done so yet.
