iRacing Rookie Lobby Full of Car Missiles

This is my 5th race in iRacing. I was feeling very comfortable coming in - maybe a bit too comfy as you can see I was sloppy and went off track on T1 but after that I was just dodging car missiles left and right - until I could dodge them no more.
I get caught. My car is done. I get towed back to pit and come back out to finish the race and catch another hot one on the same lap.
There goes my iRating. I was hoping to go up to D Class license tonight.
What can you do?
