I'll tell you what I do Llarry.
Once in a while I go to a place where you can drive V8 AMG cars, at Mercedes World in Surrey. There for an hour you can drive these RWD cars around a test track at WOT where possible and the instructor advises you of what you could do better, then there's a wet skid control work out around a roundabout. He gave me 8/10 the first time I went so was quite pleased with myself.
The entry and exit of a turn is important and having the right entry then gradual throttle coming out of the turn building to FT when the front wheels are straight is the key to getting a good lap, as the chap in the vid above explains.
On the public road you are then more sure of yourself reading coming situations better and when approaching another car to overtake you quickly take in factors like what car it is and what you can see of that driver with the way its being being driven before making your move.
