My big problem is steering.
Either I steer too much or too little in a corner, but resulting in the same thing - Im making 4 or 5 corrections throughout a corner to try to stay on line rather than a smooth curve.

Im getting better definately, but this is still my big issue.

To improve, Im racing as much as I can, but also practising drills on a patch of waste ground near my work as often as I can.
I set up a course, then drive round it as slow as I need to to get the car steering with only 2 actions (i.e. initial turn in, then straighten up coming out of the croner)
Initially, this had to be damn slow (surprisingly so) but now that Im getting the hang of it, its starting to feel right in my head (if that makes sense)

Here's me driving on a Dirt track.
Car = Cat SX2 (the black and white one)
As you can see, the two things that kept failing me was going too fast over the jumps, and steering through the turns.
