you driving pro's will know what I mean
Seat time is important, especially if you have training beforehand.

There is no shortage of books on the market that describe high performance driving techniques. Amazon has several on their website. I would avoid trail braking techniques until you have some time under your belt.

Driving schools offer great training. There's the Jim Russell school, among others, and there used to be a skid school at Brands Hatch. A corner would be soaked in water, and the goal of the trainee was to get through it without spinning. Great stuff for determining the limits of your car in the wet.

Like anything else, you will be more proficient and confident with proper study and training.
