Le Mans issue was that Fame was supposed to be set as Fame per mile and instead they multiplied by the kilometer distance. The rewards are at least 60% more than they should be. I don't buy that. I'm not saying an official person didn't say it, just saying I don't buy it.

Just take a look at the races in the recently revised Endurance Legends were we can break it down for comparison sake. The Le Mans race isn't the most expensive fame/km or fame/ miles race in the series.

 * 8,200 fame / (4.184 km X 10 laps) = 196 fame/km (122 fame/mile)
 * 6,100 fame / (5.141 km X 6 laps) = 198 fame/km (123 fame/mile)
 * 28,400 fame / (13.626 X 10 laps) = 208 fame/km (129 fame/mile)
 * 5,000 fame / (3.619 km X 6 laps) = 230 fame/km (143 fame/mile)
 * 5,700 fame / (5.137 km X 5 laps) = 222 fame/km (138 fame/mile)
 * 2,200 fame / (2.2 km X 4 laps) = 250 fame/km (155 fame/mile)

NOTE: All fame/km & fame/mile numbers rounded off using standard rounding method. Makes it easier to compare them. They are capped. and the issue is when you start throwing multipliers on. Let's take the penultimate day of the month.

Red Bull Ring Silverstone The Bridge Grand Prix Circuit 2009 Le Mans (Circuit des 24 Heures) Nürburgring Sprint Circuit Nürburgring Grand Prix Circuit Porsche Test Track Short
 * 32,800 fame
 * 24,400 fame
 * 113,600 fame
 * 20,000 fame
 * 22,800 fame
 * 8,800 fame

The Le Mans race generates 80,800 more fame than any of the other races.

Still not that much. If you just use the fame agent, you get 40,400 more fame than any other race, per gold coin used to buy her services. It can add up if you spread it out over a lot of players and many times.

But it still isn't that much. Now you get to a perpetual endurance. With the use of the first race of the day bonus and a free fame agent, the amount of extra, unintended fame, and as a result unintended gold can be enormous, especially if enough players do it. I wasn't paying much attention as I was half watch the 24-hours of Daytona, but at 300km, not much if you believe some of the posts, I think the fame was around 60,000. Yes it took a lot longer than the 10-lap race, but I was sitting watching a 24-hour race.... Now multiply that with first race of the day amd fame agent bonus. That's 240,000 fame, already 130k more than the 10-lapper and 210k more than the other races you mentioned.

But the real issue is, that isn't the upper bound. There were plenty of times I had 20=30s left on the clock and within a few laps I built it back to the full 90-seconds. That pretty much means that I could run it 10-15 hours, all without stopping the progress to service the car, have to pay gold for the fame agent or give up the additional multiplier for first race of day. Let's say I get to 3,000km.... 2.4million fame from a single race. Even a level 375 player would level up about 8 times from that single effort. Translated into gold, that is 400 Gold for a single race with a single first race of the day bonus and a single, free, fame agent. And that is a problem.
