I've forgotten how to drive....

Over the past three years I've had some serious health conditions and I'm over it for now. Prior to that I was a very good driver shifting up, down,rev-matching and double-clutching. Now, I've forgotten how to do it all, I don't know why but it's happened. It's this bad, I'm at a light and I slowly pull out the clutch at 1k and when I go for the gas people are already cutting me off or going around me : (. I'd like to know if there is anyone that knows of a video that can show me how to do it all over again. Yes it's very sad, but this is what medications can do to you, like the ones I was on. I watched this video by an individual named Greg in an E39 M5 and it was great, but the video was really old and couldn't see much at all. If anyone knows of a video that can help me out or a school close by to my house please don't hesitate to reply, thank you.

Good to hear you're better, having been seriously close to never driving again I know the feeling. Find a good empty lot and practice, it'll come back.

I haven't been through south florida in years. So I can't give you a specific place to go, but almost all road coarse tracks offer high performance driving classes. I'm fortunate in that I live a little over an hour away from Virginia International Raceway and plan on attending classes in the fall. I never realised how poor a driver I was until I got this car lol
