Establish a "mental picture" of the proper line through the corner and use that. Turn in markers are good when you are learning, but as you learn to feel the car and how your inputs affect its trajectory (in advance), you will drive more mentally, which leaves your eyes to focus on more important things, like all the way through the corner.
But you cant start doing it this way if you arent consistent enough, and randomly turn in 10 feet too early or 10mph too fast.
Im damn consistent, but the only specific reference point I use at SP main are braking markers into T1.
My whole field of vision is my reference, my periferals, and where I know my car is on the track in relation to where I know it should be.
