Hey, Emerson. Don't feel bad. You picked a deadly combo that most experienced racers would consider very challenging to complete without incident and with pace. This particular series is OPEN which means you can adjust all the setup options. If the series says it is FIXED (look for it in the title line of the series where you register for the race), it only allows certain elements of the setup to be adjusted. Those elements are in this thread: https://www.simracingsystem.com/announcements.php?aid=4
Quick advice is to do a lot of practice before entering any races. Get an idea of what competitive times would be. The SRS site has loads of results from years of past races and you can usually find combos that would give you a good idea of what laptimes would be experienced. Also, RSR Live Timing will show hotlap times for a lot of the cars and tracks. If you join a race, keep your expectations low initially and just work at being safe, no incidents and take your time getting used to this environment and the racecraft associated with it. All of us started with race #1 here and, even though most have been active in sim racing, there is a learning curve and it is a good environment if you like to get into quite competitive sim racing. Good luck mate, don't despair, practice, practice, practice and work your way into it.
