Recommended Car
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '09 won for completing the Gran Turismo World Championship (Professional Series) at A-spec is easily good enough to win this event. The handling isn't great on the stock tires, but the courses aren't particularly demanding in this aspect and you'll make up for it in the straights. This car should also be good enough in it's stock form for B-spec, with a minimal amount of coaching.

Another option is to invest in a GT-R SpecV '09, well tuned it will easily win this class on A-Spec as well as Tuned Car, Polyphony Digital Cup and Japanese Championship, fully tuned its capable of taking down Gran Turismo World Championship, though Nurburgring Nordschleife is tough with the narrow roads against all race cars (GT-R SpecV '09 cannot be racing modified)
