Well, it was designed to be a race car - and a winning car at that...
Though, to be fair, I'm pretty sure all race cars are designed to be a winning car.
Hopefully they are designed to be the winning car. It would be pointless to design a car to lose.
Hmm... You know... In racing, they could set up (which is kinda design) a car to place in the top 10 with no hope of winning.
So, there's kinda that. My first statement might not be 100% accurate. There are teams who compete who have no chance of winning regularly, so maybe they just design the car (again, configure it 'cause most teams aren't designing the entire thing) to just finish the races.
Hmm... It might be a little more complicated!
Like, if I go race GT3 cars, there's no way I'll spend enough to compete with the factory teams. I'm just more frugal and I know I won't win (m)any races. So, I'd not spend to win, I'd spend to have fun and compete around the back of the pack - with a car that should last the whole race. (Which may end up winning a race or three. Or at least getting on the podium.)
Yeah, without the funding you may be behind the well funded teams in terms of equipment. If you can stay on the lead lap though, you may just get lucky if there's an accident
