I read a lot of books, listened to a lot of people, and watched a lot of race car drivers either from the passenger seat or from a video tape. It helps a lot to just observe.

If you wanted to pay someone to teach you how to drive, you could conceivably learn how to shift better, but all of the schools I've ever seen have been more concerned with teaching you how to drive the line and keep the car balanced on the right wheels at the right time than they have been concerned with teaching you any of the mechanics behind shifting and clutching smoothly.

If you start going to track events often enough though you'll start making friends and their experience will help you a lot!
