I used a 500pp NSX Type R '02 for Rome. It won without any input at all, taking the lead somewhere on lap 4. Same goes for the premium Honda S2000.
 
1st. Nissan 180 (easy)
2nd. Nissan gtr 07(easy)
3rd. Zonda r (very very easy)
 
1st race: Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5
2nd race: RUF Yellowbird
3rd race: Pagani Zonda R '09
 
Race 1 - DOME (Stock 159bhp 400pp) Level 1 bob

Or

Focus ST170 '03 (stage 1 tuning, detuned to 97.9%, stage 3 weight reduction - 174bhp 400pp)

Race 2 - Opera S2000 race car (Sports Intake manifold, Racing Air Filter, sports exhaust manifold, Titanium Exhaust - 300bhp 500pp) Same bob, now level 11

Race 3 - Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (supercharger 648bhp 649pp) Level 20 bob

Quite enjoyed these races...

Gonna try this car now, did you have to intervene or could you just let him run?

Lap 10 and Bob's having trouble overtaking the GT-R Concept LM car. First place by a country mile is the McLaren F1 GTR. Sods law when it comes to rival cars I guess!

EDIT: With a little bit of input and a new grid of cars I got first on the last corner before the straight on lap 4 :)

I used a R390 road car detuned for Rome. The 2J dominated the Tokyo race.

I think I was lucky with the lineup... Lead car was a GT LM Phase II also.. Luck of the draw with that one I guess lol
 
The lead car I got in my race for the 650PP race was a Nissan Fairlady Z Concept LM Race Car. Made it quite easy in the GT by Citroen Race Car to be honest, especially seeing as the next fastest cars afterwards were a 330P4 and a Mark IV.
 
High Speed Ring: New Beetle
Rome: TVR T350C
Tokyo: Mazda Furai (little detuned)
 
So when they say "online B spec" do they mean we are racing against others Bobs from other Nobs somewhere else in the world?

Detuned Elise 111R for 400PP and RUF BTR '86 for 500PP totally crushed the competition with no input from me. GT-R SpecV '09 won 650PP but wasn't that dominant, a true race car might have been better. BTR used this tune but it probably doesn't make a lot of difference to Bob.

Mini 1.3 was bad for 400 PP though. Might have won if I micro-managed it but it was like 3rd or 4th left alone.

My driver is level 34 which probably helps.

The RUF BTR '86 with the tuning in the link you provided worked like a charm. I can just start the race and let it run and my BOB has won every time (Lvl 23/24 driver). Thanks.
 
All winners... 👍

400pp - Fiat 500 1.2 8v Lounge SS '08
500pp - Ferrari 512BB '76
600pp - Peugeot 908 HDi FAP

No, just normal B spec but with better winnings, prizes etc...
 
jeez, chaparral 2J took first place on lap 2 and didn't look back.

pagani zonda R '09 also won, although not nearly as easy.

has anyone done the math - are these races better than other B-spec races for cash/XP?

Renault R5 Turbo for the 500pp, tuned down on the hp to meet the pp limit.
I forget, may have used the Seven Blades tuned way down for the 400pp.
I think I still have to do the 650pp

For the 650pp race, it seems the rabbit cars are the McLaren F1 GTR Race Car, the Pagani Zonda LM Race Car and the Nissan Fairlady Z Concept LM Race Car. Not so much the Z, but the other two. I've seen a 2J pop up in first but I instantly restarted, unless you've got a car that can decimate (such as a detuned LMP car) then you'll wanna restart until these three cars aren't first, second or third. Because if they are you'll end up second on lap 10 with a 14sec. gap.
 
500pp - ferrari california, stock with proper tires. Engine limited to 500pp. Winning easily without touch.
650pp - nascar with racing hard tires. Winning wthout touching by 10+sec.
 
fastest car on Rome so far has been the BMW Z4 M Coupe (premium one from dealership tuned to 500pp). it is slightly faster than the BMW M3 (premium one from dealership tuned to 500pp), both usually are in 1st position by start of 4th lap

i set aero to minimum and transmission to 240 km/h. with no input on my behalf, Bob manages fastest laps in low 1:22 (usually lap 4, since lap 5 Bob slacks off since he has comfortable lead).

for the high speed ring i used a mazda kusabi and rome i used a mazda rx-7 bathhurst, standard engine power but everything else i could put on, it won with 15 seconds spare
 
400pp - Dome

500pp - Citroen Xsara Rally Car

650pp - Vertigo Race Car

No input required, good for grinding money, i leave bob doing the 650pp race and when i come back i have 440.000 Cr (with 200% bonus).

400pp - 2002 Turbo `73 (took 1st on second lap)
500pp - don't recall
650pp - depending on the other cars in the group, I have had the best success with my power limited (sitting at ~621hp / 650pp, top speed on the straight at 185mph) Team Oreca #51 Viper... Raced about 10 times with him taking 1st at the end of lap 2 and winning easily from there. No babysitting required.

If the Citroen GT is in the race and seated 1st, there's a good likelihood you don't stand much chance, in my experience.

I did manage to pull off a number of wins while I babysat with my Oreca #51 vs. the GT, as well as with the R35 TC from the DLC (with little tuning) and one other car I can't recall.

I'm not finding these generating the most efficient credits for time in, when I have to babysit, but I still enjoy it.

quickest cash for race for me is Super GT: Eifel (Circuit) 106A /5 Laps
Team Oreca #51, winning by no less than 25 seconds, and usually passing the 12th pos car. Sometimes 11th and 10th on the final lap. With DS3 I'm running ~5:20:00 total time, and I'm sure someone with more skill and/or a wheel could punish those times.
