I can answer that one as an ex-IRA team member. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. A top 100 team will generally be guaranteed around 20 per event, plus a few extra. Sometime this is just a couple of hours worth of effort, sometimes with a lot more (6+). Given that three hours of farming Le Mans will guarantee you 44 then you are generally better off farming. The level you are in the game makes little difference to the profitablily of Le Mans races.

I think the time you get enjoyment out of team races is where you don't have much else to do in the game and are just bored of Le Mans. I have only run 10 lappers during this update when there have been fame bonuses or when I was stuck on a train with no signal. The team races don't make up for not doing farming but they do cover some of the gap.

Downside of being in a team are that the speed challenges require you to have a pretty highly upgraded car to make a big contribution, which can begin to make being part of the team extremely unprofitable and you have to be careful not to let your team mates into your farming races (IRA drivers like to set top times in certain tracks and it makes them very difficult to beat sometimes).

If you want to be part of a team then IRA currently have two free slots. I can't speak for them but they aren't a bad bunch, most are regular contributors on here when they aren't busy with team races. The boss is a bit prickly but if you make reasonable contributions and make sure he knows where you are at all times then he shouldn't be a problem.
