Help getting better and maximising progression...

Hey guys, hope everyone is well!? Quick warning - this is my first post so be nice and excuse my ignorance!

Like a lot of people in in lockdown, I've started spending a lot more time playing various sims on PS4 (AC, Project Cars 2 and F12019). I'm playing with a very basic Thrustmster T150 that I picked up pretty cheap to try (planning to upgrade soon, now I know how much I'm enjoying it :)).

My question is about getting better and what game formats are best suited to improving driving skills for relative beginners. Currently, I just hop from game to game (but always come back to AC) and have no structure to my learning or progression. I'm wondering if I should be sticking to one game, one track, one car? Is playing through the career mode a good way of progressively picking up skills? Should I be hot lapping, racing AI?

I'm not looking to race online just yet, I'm not at that level, I literally just want to be learning some tracks, improving my skills and becoming faster and more consistent (yes, I know, that's everyones goal!). I am looking for some advice for ways to best structure and maximise the time I have to practice without aimlessly just flying round!

Thanks in advance, it's great to be joining the community
 
If you wish to improve your skills avoid AI and only race against humans online. Don't fiddle around with setups and other settings. Just spend a lot of time with a car on a track and you will see the best short term progression.

what is this level exactly? :p

Ha, I have no idea I guess, just following the sim racing community online for the last couple of months, it seems that unless you're a professional racing driver or have been sim racing for 10 years...then you're probably not at the right level!

Maybe I will just get stuck in!
