What's my style?
I like to focus on (in order):

good fundamental lines through the corners, finding the proper apex
good braking and acceleration points (brake-shift-turn-gas)
using all of the road (no-one gets this!)
experiment with (slightly) different lines - noting that different cars sometimes work better with different lines
experiment with different gears in some corners - looking for car stability vs speed
how lines, car balance and setup in one corner affect the next corner - thinking ahead
left-foot braking - the essential tool of racing (why does everyone want to learn toe & heel first - left-foot braking is way more useful!)
toe & heel (if you insist - essential only for high-torque cars)
eliminating understeer - trail braking
rotating the car - loosing speed to go faster
swapping feet - a new weapon

And yes, I do use a stop-watch - to demonstrate how much faster it is possible to go while maintaining the same amount of car stability, control and safety through skillful application of the tools described above.
