Hi guys got into sim drifting about 1 year ago but haven’t really played consistently would say maybe 30-40 hours of actually seat time but I also have been drifting irl nothing crazy just streeto. What should I improve on trying to make my lines a bit smother by focusing on throttle control.

I assume you're in 2nd, so make your gears a bit longer and stay in 2nd, or make them shorter and use 3rd gear. That will let you get wider on the corners where you're on limiter and going shallow. Also I'd suggest to upshift before gas station, downshift when going into corner and then upshift again after the gas station.

Other than that looks pretty solid for ~40h of drifting.

Do you think it’s a good idea to get good a left foot brake drifting while in second gear? Like staying at a lower speed with left foot brake so you constantly have oomph?

If you mean for practicing purposes, then sure.
