I echo what everyone has said about the value of track/autocross days and some intstruction. I also echo what has been said about being very careful in wet or slippery conditions - it is very easy to get into terminal oversteer! In those conditions it is extremely important to have your braking and downshifting done before you start to turn the car into the corner and then, wide in, take a late apex and apply power gradually only after the car has virtually completed the turn. All of this, of course, is assuming there is no standing water in the corner! If there is any real risk of that, don't assume any path through a corner at speed will be trouble-free.
