DTM endurance has some issues and requires properly setup server or modding at best.
#1 Alfa 155 Ti V6 is overpowered and there is no doubt about it on any track, AWD + highest power on wheels + softer springs + easiest to drive (hell it's almost like cheating driving Alfa after E30 how easy it is)
#2 Alfa and Mercedes have considerably larger fuel tank that allows them to stay on track longer and this needs to be either locked out by server to limit max fuel or a mod made to reduce their fuel tank capacity, they do consume more fuel yes but the fuel tanks are way bigger than that and they can drive longer on track
#3 the cars as far as I know never ran endurances, they are sprint cars as such the tyres are setup this way: Soft = qualification, hotlaps, Mediums = race, Hards = don't even bother unless the weather is 30-40C overheated otherwise you won't ever heat them up and using meds is better, meaning the only usable tyre for racing is mediums anyway
This really goes for any car, there is often 1 ideal tyre and fastest strategy to use when it comes to pitstops.

RSR is nice but I have not driven it a while, no idea if they changed it since then, it does have it's issues handling wise though but then it's an old Porsche and they probably were this bad
Old Ferraris are neat but not very raceable, either a drift fest, an aero understeer fest or no final gear ratio adjustment engine stall fest.
