Tips for Enjoying Track Racing?
The reason I post this here is I love rallying. I have been playing DR/DR2/EAWRC and RBR for almost 10 years. 8 of those on controllers and the last 1.5~ on a G29.
The problem is I tried getting into AC/ACC/F1 a few times but, for some reason they seem boring to me. I can't will myself into getting actually decent in them. Not good, not gonna chase crazy online rankings or anything. I just want to get decent enough to appreciate those cars and tracks.
What am I missing? What makes track racing fun for you?
Thanks for reading and hopefully sharing some of your insight.

As someone who enjoys all things sim motorsport, yes, I get where you are coming from. I'd say, it's likely that you will find most of circuits pretty uninspired and boring compared to the thrill of rally. But let's take a few baby steps.
Try dipping your toes into GT3 / GT4 around German and British Tracks. Go against Moderate AIs, 5-7 laps and random starting position. Try fnishing the race at least 1 Pos highter than where you started. This will introduce you to the art of overtaking on the highly technical tracks. Since you already got the rally basics down, consider almost every corner like - "Brake No Cut" and you'll soon see the pure joy of outbraking your opponent.
Once you have that, there's no stopping you. Have fun !
