I totally suck at this game, only track I've never lost all enthu points in is mirage crossing caue theres no wall to crash into. how do i actually win a race and still get skill points because i suck at it
 
It took me about 3 weeks to get used to Enthusia's physics. Don't be fooled, it is realistic, but that doesn't mean it'll be easy. Practice your throttle control (because the majority of the cars are RWD), learn to brake in a straight line, and simply adapt your driving style for the physics system.

BTW, what car are you using???
 
Pay attention to the VGS square down at the bottom of your screen. It really does help you figure out what's going on with the car.

Also, you might want to work your way through the Driving Revolution stuff before racing too much. By the end of that, you will have pretty good car control on a variety of tracks and *then* you can start concentrating on not bumping the cars around you.
 
One of the bigger adjustments for me was the sluggish steering response with the DS2's joystick -- having been accustomed to GT4's touchy steering, it took a while to get used to Enthusia's. Konami could have made it more responsive and intuitive, but I do appreciate the precision that its slow speed offers.

That said, if you're using the controller, try turning in earlier as you approach corners, and be confident with your steering input. If you start losing it with a RWD car, let go of the throttle, straighten it out before trying to get back into the race, and take that corner a bit slower on the next lap. If you don't feel comfortable with the RWD cars, take one of the several AWD performance cars available.

You could also go to the Airport Square and practice drifting the cars around. Even if you don't like drifting, it's good to know how to keep things under control if you end up sideways during a race. Unless you have a wheel, understeer is only a problem of entering a corner too fast or driving a FWD/AWD car too hard, so if you're plowing off the outside of the corner, then brake more or accelerate less. Enthusia doesn't have the best sense of speed, so you may be flying into corners faster than you think.
