A general piece of advice is to teach yourself to play without assists & manual braking and accelaration as soon as possible. Saves tons on upgrades and makes passing (and challenges & gauntlets!) soooo much easier. Do it gradually, turn down an assist one notch at a time. Starting with brakes is handy as most circuits only require manual braking in a few of the corners. Try it without braking and see in which corners you fly off. Traction control & steering assists off have less of an impact. When you're done try switching from Tilt A controls to Tilt B. Do this gradually too, maybe by starting with slow cars or by one circuit at a time

If you're not sure what line to take or how to do it, watch YouTube (Real Racing Guru, RayHon)

-cut across the first chicane -don't brake really hard at once (you'll lose all speed and skid) but keep tapping the brakes (more speed, more control, less skidding). The more you tap the more you slow. You can also brake-accelarate-brake-accelarate etc. -you can usually start accelarating when you're halfway through the corner -45 seconds took me to just after the chicane after the tunnel. You need 2 or 3 miles extra avg as the chicane slows you down
