The other secret I'd pass on to newcomers is: Relax. Breathe, Don't TRY to go fast. Be as smooth as you can at all times. Never jerk the wheel. Never slam on the brakes. If you've got a lot of power, never tromp on the gas. Ease into everything.
I'll second that! Works for motorcycles as well as cars. On my second weekend of roadracing I almost gave up the sport, thinking it just wasn't for me: I was tense and scaring myself in every corner. So on the next practice session I decided to just ride around and have fun. By relaxing I went *faster* than before and within a few laps I got my knee down for the first time (Shannonville Motorsports Park, Shannonville, Ontario - turn 3, to be precise!)
