This might sound bloody obvious, but I find the easiest way to win more, is simply to get better at the game. Easier said than done however. Luckily, there are also plenty of little tricks to make it a little easier.
My top 5 top tip for those trying to farm wins (also for getting that elusive Platinum):
1) Tank your DR (preferably while keeping SR 99 so you don't get as many 1st corner griefers)
2) Put all your eggs in one basket. Just focus on running one race for the whole week. I recommend Daily A because usually this is a road car combo, and the fastest drivers all flock to Gr.3/4 combos to get more practice for FIA.
3) Make sure you get as good qualification time as you can. Your chance of winning goes up considerably the closer you are to front.
4) Race late night or early mornings. Less people and less aliens are on. Obviously this is dependent on your work/school schedule.
5) Enjoy the racing itself. Many times when I have been focused too much on winning, that's when I make silly mistakes. If you just focus on running your lines, the results will come eventually. Trust me, once you win a few, the rest gets easier 👍
There are lots of fast drivers but you gotta remember that the normal distribution curve means most people will be in the middle. Relatively speaking, it is much easier to move from, say 50th percentile to 90th, than 95th to 99th. If you are slow, count it as an opportunity. There's still a LOT of room for you to get faster. Take me, I've been sim racing 20 years, and it has taken me 10 years just to gain 1 second, and I'm STILL 2-3 seconds off the top times on most tracks

at 20 im disable meaning i have to play with a Controller using 4 fingers max , also due to my disability (mostly anyway) im staying about 6700 hours at home that resulted at me getting fat , having the physical endurance of a 100 year old man and having 0% chance of getting laid dispite going through 5 surgery's that improved nothing i also have hypetonia (which dispite sounding like an amazing super power) it means that any noise above a certain volume can make me jump as high as a WRC car (which is realĺy embarrasing ) and quite high miopia but dispite all of that im staying positive pushing through life. So take a moment calm down and try again. (Bonus) and unlike me yet again you can keep trying but i had a bug deny my access to online races since last november so i canceled my PS+ and there is no way im paying sony just to check if they fixed it.
