Mike's suggestion is somewhat close to what I ended up doing.... I was usually carrying my braking past the 1 marker (out of necessity!) and that constitutes trail-braking. This way, you are beginning the car's rotation and turning-in while the nose of the car is loaded up. It's a very advanced technique that can be very tricky to execute... most racing schools don't teach this technique until the advanced classes. I was doing it a little bit in most of the corners, due to the entry-understeer that our car had due to the big front swaybar. Good suggestion, Mike!

The line that Mike suggested (aim for the platform) is the line that Skip Barber teaches at its race school. At least, its the line they taught me and the line I use. The point of this line is to take maximum advantage to the cambered part of the corner.
