What is the point after 25 races of racing in a new class when you can't finish higher than 4th and most times you are in last?
How are you suppose to be able to upgrade parts and get better if you never get any points to do so

Getting good at racing takes a while, you will fail a lot but eventually you start to get points after your racing skill goes up. I'd recommend saving racing points throughout the ranks to help upgrade your car after you rank up. You just got to be patient.

Just finish higher than 4th and not last?

SeaLion is right - just takes time.
It's entirely possible to get to class A without spending a single racing point. I did it as a challenge - see here: https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=16&t=16344518

Git gud, sounds like a skill issue.
Well first you have to stop being Grumpy lol
Hang in there. It just takes time. Keep at it.
Seriously impressive.
There'll be days where all you do is finish in the bottom three, no matter how good you are. Just keep at it and eventually you'll start winning. There are also some guides out there if you're wondering what to upgrade or how much points you should be saving for the next class.

Have you like, I dunno, read a guide?
Do races throughout the day then at night jump into a 100 lap XP race just for extra points. I started racing a few months ago and I'm only now starting to win the odd race, I seem to do well on the Mudpit & Stone Park tracks. Every other track I place last or 2nd last but I keep on racing, I hate the Vector Race Course lol. I have a Cosworth and many other cars so it's a work in progress, I've been trying to find the right car for each track.
Blessed be 🙏 🙂
