Tolo, for sure, Russel Alexis is one of the difficult cars, especially for rookies. It is possible that a car doesn't suit you. Racing is very difficult business and it's tough for everyone. You should use practice sessions on your own to get used to the car and track and try not to loose the car. That's the first thing. Then try going faster step by step. If you can't get enough practice time, you should concentrate on a goal. For example not to loose the car on track and not to have contact with other cars so you don't get incident points. Or finish at top 10. Start the race, run it without too much risk, be safe, don't miss braking points. There will be drivers who are clearly faster or just aggressive, so let them go. Move out of the way. And make it obvious that you want them to pass you. When they try to pass, leave enough room, brake just a bit earlier, things like that. It's not always your fault of course, as some times others make a mistake and hit you or are just too aggressive. There is plenty of time even with 20 minutes races. But most important is to finish and be patient. You can still get good points just with that. It is important to understand that you don't have many races run as a rookie here right now. So if you have several safe races like this, you can bring your incidents rating down pretty quickly if you care about it. The more races you run here, the more difficult it becomes, both with trying to get good position finish and rating up, and also getting incident points down. This is how the system calculates your performance.

The races here are usually start with 22 or 26 C temp, no wind, and 100% grip. Practice and qualifying starts with around 95% grip which slowly gets up to 100% over time as the cars run on track. You can use the Realtime app to check all the info on that when running on track. Very useful to have it on all the time. And also to know how far in front and behind you are the other drivers. So when you spin out for example, you would know when people are coming, so you can wait for them to pass before you rejoin the track.
