I don't understand why this car is even in the field, let alone the poster car, for the third series of races.
Obviously the JTCC and NASCAR cars are all fairly even in performance.
And the rest of the cars in the "super car" challenge are pretty fairly competitive. Except for the V8 Vantage, which is guaranteed to not only come in last, but often times even get lapped.
Since the idea of these races is to test our B-Spec drivers against each other, it makes sense why all these races use similar strength cars. It's supposed to be about the driver, not the car.
But whoever gets the V8 Vantage is pretty much screwed!
And what is really confusing is that there are perfectly good Aston Martin alternatives in the game. Putting a DB9 or Vanquish into that race would make it much more evenly matched.
Anyway, I just thought it was weird they would have only one completely over-matched car in these races, and make it the poster car for one of the series.
 
I could be completely wrong, but I've struggled to see any relation between money and winning races in remote racing. Almost as if the actual race is purely cosmetic and for entertainment purposes.

I just see it as a running joke if someone gets that car. Cool car mind.
 
Well, I've made some decent money. Both hosting myself, but even more from friends using my drivers in their races. When you host, you can only use one of your drivers. But you can use all six of a friend's drivers. So I will often run my one guy against six from one friend, six from another, and five from a third. Then they each do the same. On a regular basis, I've been picking up around 100K-200K per driver each day. Between my six drivers, the extra million per day isn't going to make you rich, but it's a nice bit of cash for buying parts and such.
