I'm sure it's been mentioned, but I generally heavily upgrade a car before series 1st race, of course not using gold, and then race in one go till about 50 to 75% complete, all in one setting.

That means racing totally unserviced car after few races.

Avoid drag and some snap events, but even with car in bad condition its usual to get at least 3rd, and hence a cup.

During cup races ALWAYS stop at the finishing line, and cross it only when the 2nd car is 100m off. (Careful at Indi, there its not the white line but the red brick yard:) So you win by 50m or so.

At endurance, stop right after 1st marker is passed.

Elimination, slow down to try and finish only not more than 100m ahead.

As I said, it gets me thru to at least 50% completion, and almost enough to get tired of driving:)  I am at Master level currently and use no assists (biggest improvement if you want to get better), with bonnet view.

Also set your map view (left top corner) on small, so you see the upcoming corners and have time to slow on tracks you are learning.

Had a surprising award of the '20 wins in a row' while doing it yesterday,  wasnt even paying attention:)

I think this strategy is fair, due to the too extreme service times.

Then I 'race' the last few races, either to 100% completion or the usual 75% (I'm trying to save all possible gold for now), where I have to work for the win, not overtake all by 1st lap..

Another hint, and its hard often, is learn to overtake on the inside. Besides few tracks on the start, like Panarama and 80% during races. Makes you a better driver if you can time it and squize in, and also you can lean your car on the bots for support.
