I think if you do the corners like you did in your first lap, it will be easier:
It would be better if you where even closer to the wall right here and try to drive in a almost straight line from here
to here:
by doing that you can have higher speed through the corner, in GT League i always try to pass cars on the right side here in this corner, if you enter the corner where the car in front of you to the left are in the first picture, you have to brake more and you will loose a lot of cornering speed, i have raced this track in GT League 43 times and this is what this track have learned me and it's easier to get clean race bonus as well

They need to do some more license tests for Ovals as most racers are ignorant.
They also need to change the SR logic to allow bump drafting and be less punitive. Every FIA oval race I've done, regardless of result, at a DR A SR S level has been carnage and lost me a heap of SR points. I don't do them anymore.

I have had some terrible races on blue moon but also some great races. If eveyone is driving in close proximity and behaves themselves, the racing is some of the most enjoyable I’ve had.

Blue Moon is one of my favorite tracks. Of course I wish they'd modify the SR penalties for bump drafting here, but otherwise, I love the high speed drafting and there's often several lead changes during a race. If you can manage to stay with the lead pack you've got a chance for the win. My plan heading into every Blue Moon race is (if I'm not leading) is to try and be the last car in the lead pack, and stay there until there's a lap or two to go. I feel there's no sense in fighting for the lead all race and potentially causing a wreck. I just hang back, watch the first couple cars fight it out, then make a move at the end.
In over 500 races, some of the most exciting have been at Blue Moon for me. Naturally I've had some bad moments here too, but we all have on every track in the game.

They could do with stock car variants of the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang. They could also modify the SR calculation so that legitimate strategies such as bump drafting aren't discouraged.

I love ovals, but they're too small. If they're gonna add an oval, do it properly like Daytona

I'm a NASCAR fan first, fan of other motorsport second. I don't generally have fun racing GT cars on ovals though. It feels unnatural. If we had proper stock cars, it'd be a lot more fun.

Some ovals are better than others! I quite like Blue Moon (not the reverse so much), not a huge fan of Northern Isle (rubberband milage aside) or BB.
I enjoyed throwing the #48 NASCAR around in GT6 and would like to see something similar in GTS. Ironically in real life I find oval racing really boring, though I appreciate there is most definitely an art to getting it right.

My sentiments exactly!! Isle Speedway is way too small to be racing 20 Gr.3 cars on... BB Raceway as well.. Those 2 are literally a waste of track space to me..

There's huge XP to be had from running the Premium Sports Lounge races with lower category cars and the Blue Moon Bay ovals can be done cleanly with an N400 Ferrari 458 for double bonuses.
Hunting down the Veyron and LaF in an N400 Alfa 4C Road car at Maggiore is good fun too, but it's not got the poke for the Oval race.
