So the amount of overtakes you can get serviced really doesn't mean much because that's just going to be the first race. How much can you get unserviced?

In the great video shown above he was able to get 69 OT serviced. I'm willing to guess you could get 60 OT unserviced. That is still really good! At that point you will need to run 24 races to reach your goal. That will take about 100 minutes (the race is longer unserviced & you add 15 seconds for inbetween race loading time). You will earn 20 gold and 67,200 fame (2800X24). Of course it wouldn't make sense to hire the agent for every single race because it's just not enough fame.

Then there's the FXX K single race option. There are some trades-offs. I pass about 45 cars in the first 10 laps. From then on I average 4½ cars a lap (totally trashed). With 2 cuts and not hitting cars I average 34 seconds a lap. Run that math and you need to run about 300 laps. That will take about 180 minutes, or 3 hours (since some laps will be bad). '''HOWEVER... at a conservative average of 535 fame/lap you will earn 321,000 fame after hiring the agent!! That is nearly 5 times the fame for about 2 times the work. '''

The same holds true for the Audi & Porsche versions. There's also the McLaren 650S which has the best grip ratio of all of them. However these 3 races pay a max of 500 fame/lap, so 445 after cuts. The cars are slower as well. Still, it's an option! Works out to 267,600 fame after agent which is still 4 times as much fame! Isn't this any car... You could just keep running it with different cars. There are 26 cup races of 6 laps or more at Müllensbachschliefe. You could just go from car to car...

It may also be possible to run 2 or 3 9-lap races with the Durability bonus on FU cars. Yes, you could run it in many different cars and end up in a worse situation;
 * You earn a very small amount of fame compared to running one big endurance race.
 * It will take longer because you have to scroll for the races.
 * You will get fewer overtakes on each track because you will not have slowed down the bots for every single race.
 * It can take ½ hour to completely slow down the bots for just one race. So much more in doing it on multiple races. Your time would be much better spent racing and earning fame, rather than losing a drag race and earning almost nothing.

So if you are low on time your best bet is to slow down the bots for one race and then re-run that race repeatedly. Once you include the bot slowing time you've probably only saving 1 hour over running one long endurance race. You're also giving up a huge amount of Fame. Of course many people don't have the FXX K fully upgraded, so that limits the options!
