1) Practice.

2) If you don't already have one get a wheel and pedal set-up.

3) Practice some more.

4) Memorise the circuits by heart so you know whats coming 
(anticipation).

5) Practice some more.

6) Start off slowly and gradually build up your speed, not the other 
way around.

7) Practice some more.

8) Memorise how the car reacts, so you know what to expect when you 
brake, turn, etc.

9) Practice some more.

10) Watch other peoples replays, you can learn a lot from these?

11) Practice some more.

12) Read the manual, this can usually help, its surprising how many 
people don't bother to read this important document!

13) Finally, did I mention practice?
