What class are you? It can be painful if you go into a new class without any points saved.
Pack it up everyone, this thread can't get any better.

For reference I have like 8-10000 races done. In my first class A car I only won about 50/600 races. It’s definitely a climb, but now I have a dozen maxed cars and still thousands of leftover racing points.

I love you m8! :)
Working as designed. I've had runs like this followed by runs where I can't lose. You're racing within your skill level, just RNG fren.
did i see that right?
Racing is great when you’re not flying and just sitting in Torn. It’s nice to join a race and do nothing while gaining racing experience. I honestly was not a big racer while I was flying consistently. Now I just make sure to race while in torn. There are rough patches with lots of finishes without points gains but it gets better. Collect those points to build cars and get that racing experience with not much effort. A win win.
Lv. 56, 2700+ days old. If you'da raced more from the start, you'd be golden by now.
EDIT: U've only entered 390 races, and won 46. Save race points for your best car (or two) and u'll get there.
Can be boring, true, but only when on a loss-streak?

based on the amount of racing points you've earned in your time playing (256), I can see that you don't even have a single fully upgraded car.
each car does best in specific tracks, with specific upgrades. when you're racing against people who are using a proper car upgraded for the track, yes, you will lose. keep working on it, and if you get stuck in a class and can never win and can never upgrade, consider joining a mechanic shop for a couple of weeks or months and use job points for racing points.

When racing,,, the right vehicle with the right track has a better chance of winning.......Certain vehicles are better made for certain tracks...as an example..the Mudpit....if you are racing against a Cosworth.....without having a Cosworth of your own....you do not have much of a chance of winning.
If your fellow Racers have a much higher Racing skill, but your cars are even..you do not have much chance of winning
If your opponents have entered a fully-loaded car in a race and you have entered a partially loaded car.....you do not have much chance of winning

I tried racing, got some merits, but it pretty much blows.

Racing can be a struggle at first, but it's still possible to enjoy it while you're developing your RS.
The first thing you should do is join the Justice League Tournament. It's free, and it starts in a week. They run leagues for different racing levels, so you'll have the chance to feel the glory of sweet victory even if you're not that good yet. This is also a very good way to get in with the racing community, who will help you get better and give you plenty of tips.
And while you're doing that, don't forget that the new Torn City Motors stock block gives a 10% boost to Racing Skill gains. Racing is as exciting as you make it, but like most areas of Torn, it's not something you'll be great at overnight. And that's a good thing.

Several factions hold their own race series too if you look around a join one of them for more fun racing.
My current ones 20 race series with fhc to each winner and several random prizes (DPs, Drug Packs, fhcs, lotto vouchers) per race, and the ultimate winner walking away with a PI.
Each race is with a preset stock only car which means even the lowest levels can beat the biggest levels.

Racing itself is terrible due to a complete lack of interaction and diversity. But winning isn't too hard, just takes time.
