AE86 4AGE "Slowly but surely"
lots of good info in here........all of which you'll forget when your actually driving.
imo only way you'll improve is by going out and doing it. I have done two of the john bowe high performance drive days at mallala which are really good because you have an instructor go passenger with you and show you what line, turn in points etc whilst actually doing it.
Its an expensivev track day but weith the ammount of track time you get and how much you learn its kind of worth it even just as a once off. Check them out on the john bowe website.
If your in Vic - the WRX club run some really good track days and if you havent raced before you get put into "Driver Training" class where you get teamed with one of the more experienced members to sit in the passenger seat and show you the ropes(ie. race lines, braking points and general tips etc.) until your ready to go it on your own - no extra cost over the normal fee for the day. The guys are all pretty cool and friendly. You learn so much quicker with an experienced guy in the seat next you.

+1 If you even need to try to remember it, it's not instinctive, like it should be.
It's just practise until it becomes second nature without even have to think about it.
And the John Bowe track schools are good too; worth the extra for the tuition on top of a track day.

PIARC and many others clubs do this too and is a super fun day!
Next driving training day at Phillip Island is May 30th...
Lot of good tips but all comes from practice, most should all come naturally from practice and not have to over think it.
