Slow down!!! Put in some (many) laps without using brakes. Force
yourself to stay in the line. Then start speeding up gradually while
making sure you stay in the lines. I use this technique all the time
when I visit a track that I havent  driven in a while. Of course, you
will want to also put in some practice time using other lines as well.
When you get comfortable and up to speed, you need to get some
practice driving in traffic. Skip qualifying so you have to start at
the rear of the field. Try working your way up to the front without
swapping any paint with anyone. Good Luck!

Of course, it would also help if the ai cars experience this little
thing called tire wear.<G>

You must hit the brakes before the pit crew will do anything.
