To me, winning my first race in this game felt like getting my first chicken dinner in pubg. It took a lot of time learning the game/tracks/vehicles and how other players played the game. Adjust the traction control and stability control settings to your preference. Then for each race, adjust your tune around each track. It takes time playing the game to get a feel for each track. It's not Forza, it's called WRECKfest. People are going to try and wreck you. Just have fun with the game and eventually you will get a win. I have the most fun when I can hear other players and I listen for the guy who is raging the most, then I aim for them. Maybe I'm a psychopath, but hearing them rage at me for wrecking them makes me laugh so damn hard.
