Note though that the PR difference in LMP1's is small, but the performance difference is not. 1PR point means something like 5-10kph extra on the straights _and_ 0.1g more on the corners. It's been a while since i started this thread...have some more experience of my own on the topic now. Have attempted to get as far as possible (aiming for the 75% completion bonuses) in series where i don't own and don't intend to own the top car. For example in Muscle and Prestige I don't have the Shelby GT350R. The mid-tier PR 42 and 43 races were very difficult with R$ only upgrades on the other cars. I eventually gave in a raced off line to get the trophies. A better racer might have gotten it done, but not worth the effort for me.

I will apply this knowledge to other series and continue to ignore GC cars that are not the top dog in a series.
