Any 700pp car can win on Easy.

But some are funner and easier than others.

The AI in this race has extremely poor pit strategy so it's not particularly difficult to win. Just be ready with something around 700pp (and its La Sarthe, so it should have a high top speed), racing hard tires, rain tires, and you should be good. The rain can be annoyingly difficult to predict as the storms move through at 6,000mph (seriously)* so your pit strategy is somewhat based on lucky timing - but the AI strategy is "wait until the track is undrivable on slicks, do another lap, then pit for wets right as the rain stops" which is definitely worse.
The Porsche 962 can crush this race detuned to 700hp. I've also won it with a stock Ferrari Enzo (restrictor necessary), Mazda RX-Vision race car, Mercedes Mclaren SLR with full weight reduction (so it is easier on tires), Mercedes SLS Group 4 (not a great pick to be honest, its hard on tires and not that fast). The 962 has very good fuel economy, is easy to drive, and is way faster than the Group 4 cars in the race on the Mulsanne, even when power limited to fit within 700pp, so it's the one I would recommend. Road cars tend to chew through tires much faster, but it can be fun to try to win it with an unsuitable car. I think I could win this race with a completely stock SLR, but I haven't succeeded yet. She's a thirsty girl and the tires go away alarmingly fast.
*I seriously don't understand why there is even a level of zoom on the weather radar if the rain moves across so quickly. They might as well have left the crop at the immediate extents of the circuit and let the weather move at natural speeds - the effect would be exactly the same. The weather radar is basically useless as you can't actually forecast with it, because it gives you at most one minute of notice.

The R34 02 nurburg swapped has the motor of Nissan R92 with low fuel consumption and a very high speed. The first 3 laps I use FM1 to superate the other competitors then a pit for intermediate tyres if it rains and fuel to complete the race. After FM2/3. But look at the Praiano63 tune 😉, it is amazing.

Bit of a thread resurrection, but here goes.
Where did that come from? LOL.
I too found it frustrating... guess I need more experience at GT7 weather-predicting/radar-understanding.
ETA;
Ran it in the 458 Gr.4 and was in first until that situation... finished 8th... yuck.
Ran the race for the first time earlier this morning... the radar only showed light rain the entire time, but low and behold on the second to last lap the track was soaked!

For some reason I've become addicted to getting road cars to 700PP for this. The Countach 88 Aniverrsary with the engine swap is just nuts for this. So is the XJ220 with the swap. But this can be done with SO MANY different cars. I know the Ferrari Fxxk and Testarossa stand out to me too. Any Gr.3 or Gr.2 race car I've tuned down to 700 for this is just almost boringly easy. I'm personally a fan of Racing Hard for anything with tire wear, but you definitely want to have Intermediates available due to the fat rain SOMETIMES happens for this event. BTW, the weather radar is just a suggestion at best. I hate it.
Oh, the Diablo GT at 700 is just dumb amazing for anything, let alone for this event.

Trying to run with the 1973 batmobile 3.0 CSL with everything thrown at it ... But right now it is undrivable, still trying to set it up correctly for this old granny to run...
But there seems to be an engine swap with the Z4 available, I will try both a report back, unless someone beat me to it

Praiano has csl 700pp swap tune for recent update.
Wins comfortably on le man's 30 min race.
