After recently completing and succeeding at Nasa and BMW CCA Competitive driving school allowing me to race wheel to wheel, this is my take away.
-Look around, pay attention to your mirror, be aware of your surroundings and flags and remember key features like run offs.
-A corner is a corner is a corner. You will get to see the same corners at different tracks. It's just a set of lines defining the paved portion of the track.
-You can always go faster but practice being consistent at 7/10 & -8/10 all the time. Most of the time saving your car is a bigger victory then being able to run 9/10 or 10/10 then spin.
-Braking is the key: brake less and longer. Keep more momentum.
-Get on throttle early as a good habit will allow you to run more aggressive setups. 10% throttle not 100% and move up from there.
-Test your limits early in the day.
-Don't scrub tires.
-Practice different lines: early vs late vs conventional.
-Get on the simulator. Iracing, Asseto Corsa.
-AutoX, Karting, practice being smooth!

In racing, unless you are qualifying, you will rarely have the chance to do the perfect corner.
