As a starting point, do all your braking and shifting, both upshifts and downshifts, while your car is travelling in a straight line. Do not upset the balance of the car when doing this. In other words, be smooth, with no jerking of the chassis. You will need to learn the heel-and-toe technique to do this effectively.
When entering a corner, balance the throttle, then accelerate gradually but deliberately through the apex to the coming out point. Pretend that there is a fresh egg between your foot and the gas pedal that you must not break when doing this. Power through the rear wheels is what's keeping the car on the road, so don't upset this balance by lifting (unless you are staring to spin and are ready to correct), braking or shifting.
These cars perform best when they are finessed, and offer supreme driving satisfaction when driven properly.
If you don't want to get professional instruction, there is a wealth of reading material available. Stay away from literature teaching trail braking techniques for now. Stick with the classic basics first.
And remember please, as a wise person once said to me, "You have a child now. Be smart. Be safe."
Just my three cents...............
