Stick with what you've got and practice, practice, practice ;-)

Only problem where I live is no where to practice so all practice is done on the race track!! It takes a couple off races to get going my last race was in October and don't race to April !!!

Still need to practice with 4WD unfortunately! It is basically easier to drive I think but everyone you are racing against will have the same advantage, skills count no matter what class you drive.

Do you have a back garden with some grass? Try setting up a track with hosepipe or tennis balls for lanes and corners. Set a time try to beat it etc etc

I cut my teeth with 4WD when I started, but then moved to 2WD. The 2WD massively improved my driving skills plus there was more guys running 2WD, meaning a wider skill level and plenty of races.

I would stick with your 210 and just keep practicing. Try keeping the same setup rather than always tweaking it so you can concentrate on driving

The best way for you to improve is to practise like already mentioned.

You would be better attending more race meetings/ club nights than investing into a new car which from the sounds of it would just sit there.

The Durango 210 is an excellent car and the best way to improve is to stick with one car and learn to drive it and set it up properly.

Happy racing

As you live in somerset there are plenty of race meetings going on indoor and out so you could race at least once a week plenty of practice

I would stick with what you have and not worry to much. Improvements will come, try not to mess around with set up too much. Don't worry about how many people are going faster than you. The more you race the better you will get. When i started I used to pit with 2 other guys, one was a little faster and one was at least 2 laps faster. Over time I got closer then quicker than the guy who was a little quicker than me and after a few years i can now match pace with the guy who was laps faster. Time and experiance will win it!

Personally, i enjoy 4wd more, the way you can push the car into drifts and of course the speed. I'd always recommend 2wd to a complete novice, mostly due to them being cheaper, needing less expensive electronics and being easier to maintain. As for learning to drive... yes and no, to be competitive in any class you need to learn to drive.
