Track day and racing pearls (tips)

I always tell people, you must learn the braking zones first. Slow down to comfortable speed before entering the turn. That's where a lot of novice drivers get into trouble,

That's where a lot of novice drivers get into trouble, when they go into a turn too fast and then try to break while in the turn.

Good point. I've added it and elaborated.

15. Do not turn-in until you've scrubbed enough speed. If you're too fast, continue braking and turn in late...even if it means missing the apex. If you're really too fast, drive straight off the track and continue braking. Trying to turn in while too 'hot' will have you sliding off track and rolling.
