Did you gold the license tests? I suggest going back through the license tests and trying to get gold on them. It may be frustrating but if you can get gold in all of the license tests, you should be really fast in the races. The license tests teach you proper technique.

Also try and find a decent set of guys and go racin with them. I joined in with the C.R.A.P. (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/c-r-a-p-casual-racing-affiliates-programme.262335/) guys and have clocked up some serious amount of lap time running with these guys and it's not so serious as well so no added pressure which you don't need when learning tracks etc.
I did get gold in many but never felt it helped me. It really is a matter of trial and error I feel, but I never got to the point were I can get gold consistently thats why I stopped.
Joined a group before, met a really nice guy who teamed up with me in a championship and taught me a LOT. Ended up having to skip practices and races way too often coz of my crazy work schedule and I just felt bad about it so I told them I cant keep up and quit. Might give it another go though :S

I would imagine that with GT6 coming out in 7 days, most of the more experienced racers around here will probably not be playing GT5 anymore. It is unknown whether or not the servers are even going to support GT5 online game play once GT6 drops.

The only thing the licence tests taught me was "late braking". Everything else is pretty much wreckless.
I found the special events to be a good place to learn, its all about shaving time off the run which is ideal for becoming faster.

BDoggPrelude is right what he said about GT6 coming out in 7 days, most of the more experienced racers around here will probably not be playing GT5 anymore. But if and when you buy GT6 and play it we are always here if you need help with anything.
If you're getting GT6, then join the WRS (Weekly Race Series) Time Trials. They're a very helpful bunch of guys & your driving & lap time will improve. Also, they run different divisions, so you're almost always competitive within your division. And lastly, the results are done on a handicapped basis, so it's quite possible for a lower division driver to win.
Check out the GT5 WRS TT's here. Unfortunately, the final one is currently being run.
Good luck with your driving! 👍

@oik01 - You could try contacting someone from The GTP Racing School, & checking out the 12 Things To Make You Go Faster thread might help you too.
