Hi, It was quite easy for me in fact.
First of all, my B-tard was a level 27 when I done it.
Standard Specs, just a touch in gear ratios. The 250mph/400km/h set up is quite nice except for Cote d'Azur. I kept the Hard tires.
It's a Push - Overtake babysitting until the first place. Then you babysit it for a while, to build a nice gap, then you can leave it. I babysitted for most of the time while I was doing something else in my notebook.
Pitting, well, because of fuel you would have to pit somewhere in the last 3 laps, except Cote d'Azur, where you can do the whole race without pitting, same as the AI cars. Usually I would build a comfortable gap to join the race, after pitting in the lead, and then pitted near 2/3 of the race, then don't bother any more for the rest of the race, has IA cars were beyond Bob and still a pit stop to make. If they came near him, they automatically would make him push a little hard and up his pace. Has they only pit to late in the race there is no danger of a comeback.
Only lose one race, at Cote d'Azur because it was constantly spinning at Casino's corner, my bad, I wasn't paying much attention and after 8-9 laps I realized the problem, Bob was 11th!!!, I thought "let's calm down", overtake this slower guys and join the front group, then pace down to make no more spins and try leapfrog them in the pit stops, I just realized to late that there was no need of a pit stop and I couldn't overtake them all, has not touching gear ratio didn't help either, just tooooo loooong for this track.

Did your Bob pit and how much did he win by?
Also what class is he?
I didn't babysit him, I was on the computer instead
Easier than NASCAR?
oh yes

I found that if you use race softs and pit at the mid way point of each race except Monaco Bob will win with ease uncoached. Monaco is a different story though and requires some coaching to win but not needed as he can win the championship even if he finishes last here.
I ran it on my second profile the other day with a level 17 Bob and he took first place in every event using the mid point pit strategy.
To give an idea of how well this worked on Indy after 15 laps he had managed to get into 5th place on his own. I told he to pit and he fell to 8th place in the pits. on lap 20 he took the lead and never looked back.
Some of the tracks he already had the lead by the half way point but after pitting he smoked the AI as they were all running on worn tires and his were fresh.
Monaco does not require a pit and due to the difficulty in overtaking cars on that track I did not have him pit at all there and coached him to the front.
A highe rlevel driver should win this series with ease.
