Just keep practising.
Push the car around the corners you will feel the car starting to understeer and loose grip.
You will get the feel for it.
The more you practise you will start to learn the track and how much speed you can carry through a corner.
A laptime delta really helps aswell.
you will know if you are gaining or loosing time on the entry and exits of corners
I don't know about this "practice makes perfect" philosophy. Practicing certainly can help but it can also lead to some bad habits that become hard to change.
I think really-- and I'm not the first to say this-- the whole getting faster thing should be broken down into stages instead of trying to do everything all at once. You have a task, you look at it generally, break it down into manageable parts, and then put it back together again.
This is what some say should be the parts as they are broken down:
1. Learn the line
2. Focus on exit speed
3. Focus on entry speed (break-line, etc)
4. Focus on cornering speed
What I do is try and stay focused on each task individually. After learning the line I will move to stage 2. As I'm focusing on stage 2 I'm slightly altering stage 1. Then when I go to stage 3, keeping that stage in mind, I am slightly altering stage 1 and 2, and so on.
Let me just say right off that I am not one of the faster AC racers out there. I don't have the experience or the natural knack that other faster racers may have. And, probably most importantly, my knowledge of set-ups and what can be accomplished with them is that of a child's.
But I do take an analytically look at getting faster, which does take practice, though when I do practice I'm not trying to take everything all in at once. That to me just complicates the whole issue and can lead to some very bad habits.
But really of all of the stages mentioned above, exit speed-- especially the one's leading to a long straight-- is where one can gain the most time. And once the other three stages are honed, exit speed gradually gets faster and faster.
