No one has yet mentioned setting up your car correctly. Spring rates, damper rates, sway bar stiffness, camber/castor/toein-out all affect how your car will steer. I know there isn't much scope for adjustment on most cars but the basics of the first three I mentioned are most changeable. Too stiff in the front (apart from being embarrasing) will cause understeer but so can too soft. This can also affect the rear and vice versa. Find some text (or better someone with experience) who has set up race cars, esp open wheelers for advice.

And going to adv driving courses is great advice. Also try something like driving a formula ford for a day. There is something driven on perpetual oversteer/drift.
