==Strategy==
*Given the fact that the PP limit is 950 for this event, any overpowered car with good fuel consumption will do the job. In addition to using Gr.1 cars as intended (using a turbo if possible), the SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo, a detuned Red Bull X2014 Standard Car, a Red Bull X2019 Competition with tire restrictions, the non-Gr.1 variation of the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo and McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo, or even an open wheel racer such as the McLaren MP4/4 '88 and one of the Super Formula cars are all valid options. However, these non-standard options will usually have a worse fuel consumption and/or tire wear as a Gr.1 car, forcing the player to play around with the fuel map and/or use a harder compound to get more mileage before pitting, potentially compromising their lap times.
**High performance cars that are battery-powered are not always the most ideal, as their lifespan can be woefully short and only last a few laps before needing to pit. The exception to this is the Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, which in most races is capable of going around half the race distance at least before requiring to stop. The exceptions to this are the races at Daytona and Road Atlanta, which are power heavy and will burn through the battery much quicker.
*Suzuka Circuit and Fuji Speedway are the only tracks in this event where rain plays a part. This would mean that Racing Heavy Wet tires is a must-have, even though the Fuji race is not required for Menu Book completion.
*Take great care with the Fuel Map for these races as the multiplier for fuel consumption is heavy and can range from 8x to 12x. Because there isn't a lot of fast cars that have good fuel efficiency, any car that can last 4 laps before running out of fuel when using Fuel Map 1 can still result in a fast time on any of the 10 lap races.
**This point is most apparent in the race around Daytona, where it can be difficult to pull off a successful and fast one-stop strategy due to the heavy fuel consumption nature of that particular event.
***The Mazda 787B '91 is one of the few that can pull this off without playing with the fuel map. However, it will likely struggle to keep up in the infield section and will need to utilize its power and low drag to make up ground in the high speed oval section.
==Trivia==
*Despite the name, the event can be entered using any car as long it meets the PP requirement.
*Prior to version 1.21, Angel Inostroza could appear twice in the same race, driving either the Toyota GR010 HYBRID '21 and/or the Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo Gr.1 for races that were added along with the event in v1.15. This was eventually corrected, with the Hyundai now being piloted by a miscellaneous AI driver named T. Hoshino. (Hoshino also drove the Hyundai Genesis Gr.B Rally Car in the World Rally Challenge.)
