“Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” - Anton Chekhov

It is fine learning the theory, watching the videos and dipping your foot in the water but we only truly get better when we put in the hours. Whether it is driving or some other aspect of life, most people will be able to find situations that become second nature. You've completed a task and it 'just happened'. When you have put in the practice more and more scenarios on track will become second nature. You will have understood how your car will handle in the most extreme of situations before you consciously realised this.

“Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skilful, swift, and steady.” - Bruce Lee

If Bruce says it, it must be true! When you are training you need a plan. We've worked through many driving skills so far and each is included to tune your muscles and ingrain in you an understanding to help avoid some of the biggest mistakes that drivers experience when learning to get faster. If you've never tried to improve your consistency then start with just completing three laps. For this initial test drive fast but not to your limit. Don't look at the individual deltas to speed up or slow down. Just do the training tasks as skilfully as possible. If you complete these 3 laps within approximately 2 seconds of each other then you have two choices. Either try to complete 5 laps or even 10 laps all within 2 seconds of each other. Or, try to improve your speed. If on either of these exercises you fail then drop the number of laps (or speed) and give yourself a pat on the back. Top drivers will be able to complete 20+ laps at their full pace within 1 seconds of each lap.

Create yourself small games, like above. Challenges that you know will be improving your consistency.

The driver's lap times on the right are very consistent, over multiple laps. When you have these times down and you are lapping as cleanly as this you'll be a state of flow that drivers aspire to. You'll be one of those driver. Don't worry about being top of the leaderboard. The driver on the right hand side of the image is struggling to stay on track and is putting in fast times but also many invalid / slower laps. He should drop his speed (if he is practicing his consistency), stay within track limits and only then start pushing for faster times.
