Getting the TS40 on this sale would be my suggestion. The 2015 Audi is slightly cheaper, but farming @ EC is much more of a headache than EK. If they do not put the sale on the GIN, then you will need to unlock Endurance Kings or Endurance Champions to get it. I am taking this week and next to make it through Spirit Of Ferrari, Zenith Series, and Road To Le Mans to open up EK to buy and upgrade the TOYOTA TS040 Hybrid (2014). I already have EC unlocked and the Audi R18 e-tron quattro (2015), but I want to take advantage of the sales to scratch the TS040 off of the list.

As for EC, a day of bot slowing and management will get the race down to 100% efficiency. I can lap Heat and Mint Crystal easily. Then doing some slowing and pitting to keep the time that easy in the last lap or two and waiting at the line for them to nearly complete their final lap makes it easy. The standing start is easier to get around, I suppose, but I am so used to the rolling start, I have never really given it much thought. The only mistake you can make with the rolling start race is to run it very fast and forget you are on lap 10 and cross the line with a very fast time. I made that mistake a while back and I almost never saw the 2nd place car. I was likely drawing TSM players who cut the last chicane. But going back to the Speed Snap and losing a bunch of times brought it back down to Existent. That being a bit too slow, I ran it back up to about a 34 - 36 minute race (I am still hopeful for the double fame weekends and having to win unserviced).
