Most racing schools offer courses that are intended to improve street driving skill - e.g. winter driving is a common one, often with a "skid car" rigged with casters that remove much of the car's weight from the tires so that it will go into slides easily (as if it were on ice). There are also often "defensive driving" courses that cover swerving and fast braking under control. I've taken one of these courses and thought it was absolutely useful and improved my driving. That said, it was pretty expensive, and not well publicized. Basic driver's education in the state I grew up in was state subsidized and offered through the community college so it was quite inexpensive. On the flipside, it was a terrible course, with minimal actual driving time and a terrible case of design for the lowest common denominator. I wonder if more advanced driving courses could be offered the same way, but perhaps they'd fall to the same problems. You might look at motorcycling as a positive example. While many states require the Motorcycle Safety Foundation basic course for a motorcycle endorsement, MSF also publishes an advanced course and various skill courses that seem to be relatively popular amongst motorcyclists. MSF courses are developed by the Foundation and all the materials are licensed (I would assume at nominal cost) to various local organizations that actually teach them, in my area affiliated also with the community college.
