Be aware of your thoughts as most people are seeing in their mind's eye instead of what's actually in front of them- they're on auto- pilot. So focus on the task at hand- driving.
Look further ahead then normal- most people look about a car length or so ahead. The further ahead you look, the more time you have to react. In racing, simply 'raising the eyes' will make your imputs smoother and smooth is fast- and is what makes a rain- driver, such.

NO DEEP THINKING

RAISE THE EYES

I know you've heard it many times but one of the most important things you can do is increase your following distances. It 'gives' you time to react and the scenery's better.

NEVER TAILGATE
