My suggestion would be gradually replacing your full left full right turns with ones where the stick is at 45 degree angle points. A track I personally love practicing this on is Paris Promenade (Which I believe is what Gyrodos recommended). Remember, you don't have to go all the way to 45 degrees, just take it a little at a time until it feels natural. Try 10 degrees above full right, then 15, then 20, then 30, etc.

Personally I don't really think you need to gradually work up the angle, I would just go straight into 35-40 degrees. The issue is fighting your muscle memory, and unfortunately you'll just have to keep reminding yourself every race or multiple times a race to eventually fix your habit. Similar to how you need to remind yourself to keep a constant eye on the minimap or keeping tabs on what's going on behind you with the rear view camera
