*LAUGHS HEAD OFF*
I was in the RBR in my first BATseason (GTP F1 S3)... race three, Melbourne. Dead last in qual.
I won by FIFTEEN seconds. Crap car? Don't think so!
I'm not saying it is crap, I just said 'Good Luck'.
Given the right situation, anybody can win in any car.
Take last season at Magny Cours, my girlfriend, who had never played batracer before was in the Aguri. Both cars crashed out in practice and warmup, Neither Aguri qualified

Anything is possible in BATracer, but in general, the RBR has never been a consistantly good finisher, as cars such as the Renault have been (not to be confused with their performance last season
)
Weather plays a massive roll in who finishes where, so does Safety Cars and incidents. If we had a clean race from Lights to Flag, and you started dead last in the RBR, I would anticipate you finishing 14th at best (given that everybody had 100% setup, and roughly the same pitstop strategy, and no incidents or retirements).
