You've got to go out there and keep pushing and keep making a mental note of what worked and what didnt work so that you can get faster that next lap. As others have said, this really only works well if you have a lap timer in the car and can get instant feedback. I'd recommend using a smartphone with an app at the very least, or stepping up to an AiM solo.
Sage advice

Also in racing...don't let the guy in front drive your car lol.

I had such a hard time passing when I first started racing motorcycles. Once I understood that basically I was letting the guy in front tell me when to brake accelerate and turn... It was like an epiphany

Also, the immortal words of Kevin Schwartz
Wait till you see God, then brake!
