what's the best way to gain performance driving skill for a beginner?

Valentino

Racing simulation on video games it's a good start. Forza3 on XBOX360, Or Grand Tourismo Prolog on PS3.

They will give you a good idea of racing lines Or the fastest way around a race track. and you mite be lucky and find a track that's close to you, So you can practice on it.

One other thing you will need an engine oil cooler if your going to track your car.
