Modern cars are very different from cars of yesteryear.! Back in the day of rear motor cars, and not much grip, you had to slow down, probably roll around corners, and then accelerate smoothly.!
Modern, mid and forward motor cars are a very different beast. Coupled with high grip tracks, a very different driving style is required . Pretty much, flat out everywhere.!😱
This does not come easy to us old school drivers.😂.
That plus declining eyesight and reactions make it very difficult to be "competitive"..!.. I know..😂
The main point, with any hobby, is to enjoy it to the best of your ability.
I have to settle for getting the car around the track as smoothly and consistently as possible and I can still enjoy that.
The days of A finals ( and rear motors) are long gone..! 😉
Enjoy.....
