On bonus fame days, there's no better way to earn fame. This is done on Porsche Short Track Endurance races. You have to run no assists and drive off-track at certain points. It's hard at first, but once you get used to it it's easy. I have some teaching videos for these races on my YouTube channel if you are interested. Actually how long do you need to race one of these endless-endurance to get equivalent payout as 2015 LMP1 10-lappers? Consider cases of using agent only, and with 100% fame included. Maybe even the FXX K or MP4-X version.

People keep harping on how great these endurance are; Agreed you can race almost indefinitely when you are good at it and best use of agent & fame bonuses, but if you need to race minimum of an hour or more to get the same payout as 10-lappers. 10-lappers seem simpler, already feel like throwing up after half an hour. Hey there, just saw your question. In short, the benefit of endless endurance races is you get to determine when the race ends. When the 10-lap race is over... it's over. But if you don't have the time to commit, then the 10-lap race is better. I burned out on the Porsche or track and rarely run at now. I also have a lot of gold & $R so I can afford the break. I'll give you some rough numbers below.

The amount of time depends on the car you drive and your abilities. If you can afford it then the FXX K is the best car. The MP4-X runs faster laps, but it pays half as much. FXX K pays 600 Fame per lap max while the Audi and the Porsche pay 500 Fame per lap max. You can't earn the full amount because you have to drive off track a bit. If you run pretty good you lose 10%. So the amount of time you have to run depends on the car's speed, your skill and the Fame per lap payout.

In the Audi with 40 second lap times it will take you 43 minutes to equal the 10-lap race. Obviously not a benefit on many of the days. But on 100% fame day if you run for 86 minutes you would earn 230,400 fame. Your have to run 3 10-lap LeMans races with the agent hired every time and 100% Fame on one of them to equal that. Since you'll have to service and watch ads that ends up taking a more time.

In the Porsche you can run 38 second lap times. with the same considerations that'll take you 40.5 minutes to equal a 10-lap LeMans, 81 minutes to earn 230,400 Fame (3 LeMans 10 lappers).

Now it's different with the FXX K. You can run 36 second lap times AND get more Fame per lap so it just takes 32 minutes to equal one 10 lap LeMans race. 64 minutes gets you that 230,400 Fame. Way faster than running three races with servicing and add watching.

Hope that helps.
