As was mentioned, it's all about the daily Fame bonus. based on prior math I did you have to run 53 laps at Porsche short in the FXX K to equal the fame of a 10-lap LeMans race (regardless of the fame bonus). 53 laps will take you just over half an hour. A 10-lap Le Mans race is quicker than that. However when the 10 lap race is over, it's over. Your daily Fame bonus has been used up.

Let's look at a 50% Fame bonus day. If you run 2 10 lap races with the the agent hired in the 2015 cars, getting an additional 50% Fame on race 1, you will earn 144,000 Fame total. Run 100 laps in the FXX K and you will earn about 161,000 fame AND spend 1 less gold. The difference between those numbers only grows as you drive further. The 2 10 lap LeMans races are faster but you will have to run 2 cars or service one by watching 5 ads. I go with the assumption that I have one heavily upgraded car to run LeMans races and I service it in-between. But if anyone wants to know, we could use 95 laps as the example and you still earn 153,900 Fame. Again, the difference between the two numbers only grows as you race longer.

On lower Fame days than 50% you can still earn a decent amount, but you have to run longer and I don't personally find it to be worth it. So if it's less than a 50% Fame bonus day, I just run a 10 lap race.

The only endurance exception is the MP4-X @ Le Mans. HOWEVER, that is a very hard race. You need to reach 6.4 laps to match the 10 lap Le Mans race. That can be done in 15 minutes vs 26½ minutes if you run the 10 lap Le Mans super aggressive. Here is how you run the LeMans race in the MP4-X.



An extreme example of the benefit of 1 endless vs many 10 lap recently happened. I made some charts comparing 6 hours of endless vs 12 10 lap Le Mans races. Explanations are required so rather than pasting them here I will just add a link to that thread if you're interested. The opportunity to do this has only a happened 3 times I believe. In short, I was credited with more than 1,000,000 ADDITIONAL fame running 1 long race in the same time frame & spent 11 less gold. EA's greatest 6th birthday gift... 6x FAME!!
