I stumbled onto this site by googling highest paid fame races.

Anyway after reading here about a month or so. I am a little confused.

What is this "team racing stuff?" Am i missing out on easy money by not participating in team racing? Or is it just another way to play? If it is a way to collect super easy $ and GC I think I need to understand this feature and get started...

LMK The ability to make Gold in the team events depends on what the event it. Some events you can't really compete as a single person team. This past one, which was Overtakes (just simply how many cars can you pass on the track in a given race) I was able to do really well as a single-person team. I got 2500+ overtakes with maybe 3 or 4 hours of racing, so that got me in the top 1500 teams. I got 1,620,000 R$ (or something close) and 60GC for the event. The rewards were staggered, I think it was 20GC for 1300 overtakes and 40GC for 2500. Some events allow you to "cheat" in that you run short tracks with fast cars and pass a bunch of cars twice. The Team event coming up is a total distance thing, I believe. So you can "cheat" that one by finding a long race on a fast track with a fast car (faster miles and less time spent reloading) and run it over and over. But unless you can get into the 20GC and 40GC categories, which are often close to impossible with a single-person team, it just pays R$, which may or may not be of benefit to you.

Joining a team is OK, but even for the top team, the reward per person is 75GC (1500 divided by 20). Some of those guys passed 20,000 cars in a day...so the reward is not that great. You could probably make 2X or 3X that by running 10 lap events at LeMans for the same period of time...
