Here is a suggestion from something that helped my driving a lot. Try doing some karting in a competitive environment. Try finding an indoor or outdoor place where you can rentand try things out. Karts are easier to drive that large cars and the motions of smooth and overly aggressive driving are further amplified. Plus being wheel to wheel with other people you can follow people's lines and because everything is so much smaller you can be 2' off their bumper and really ride their lines.
I've learned a lot and my driving and racecraft have improved dramatically.
Sometimes autox are too short to get a good feel for what you are doing and having a longer duration event to play with will give you hours of seat time and at the limit driving/racing in a safe and cheap environment.
Even Michael Schumacher still runs his karts in the off season to keep in shape
