It certainly can be frustrating as a beginner when you don't seem to be able to get a clean run in. What are the problems you are having, is it breakages or crashes? I have not run TC, only offroad buggies but the speed of modern cars mean that a crash often means a breakage, certainly as a beginner.
We all struggle at the beginning but most problems early on are down to being a learner driver. Try not to get too focussed on the ideal setup and get a nice stable easy to drive setup on the car - often the out of the box setup will work well - and concentrate on completing a clean race. Don't get caught up in too many scraps, let faster cars by and if possible try following a car that is driving cleanly, follow its lines and learn that way.
As you get more track time the speed and consistency will come and then you can start thinking about car setups and experimenting with spring/damper settings and all that stuff. I don't think I could tell a good setup from a bad setup for a year.
Good luck and don't give up, it happens to us all.
