There's zero instructions/tutorial and I'm crashing all over the goddamn place while other cars are whipping around the turns. On Grid World I finished about 5 races, some in the top 5, but that was after tons of tries. But now I can't finish the next race at all, keep coming in last. Any tips anyone? "You suck" isn't a tip, it's an observation. "Stop sucking" isn't a tip either.

Get a wheel.....Momo will do!

Obviously practise helps, & that's going to take a lot of sucking to get better.

But here's a tip:
Slow down before the corners.

Brake before the corners; accelerate through them.

It works a lot better than what i would always do with arcade-style racing games, which was fly into corners full speed & then brake at the last second.
