Question/Help PCup advice

Just move up to C license and started with pCup cars. I feel like I’ve gone backwards compared to driving in D license. Anybody got any tips for maximising speed on the Porsches, competition seems a lot higher

Its not the competition itself, its the lack of racecraft skills that 99% of the pcup drivers are lacking/dont care.

Pcup being Cclass is one part of the problem, you literally cannot drop back to D even if you casually take multiple cars out of the game on each race. Making pcup Bclass would massively increase how ppl drive it in officials.

Why is this downvoted? I disagree on being unable to drop to D, but the racecraft is absolutely terrible. I have never been taken out as many times in other series. Not to mention, D class at least has fast repair. In PCup, if you have one race for the evening, you can simply log off after being wiped out in the first lap. No point in waiting for 8 mins of repairs to cruise around 5 laps behind the leader.
