Draw drivers in amateur races into error (10)

I believe the answer is:

attraction

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'draw' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drivers in amateur races into error' is the wordplay.
'drivers' becomes 'rac' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'amateur races' becomes 'att' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'error' is an anagram indicator.
'into' with letters rearranged gives 'tion'.
'att'+'tion'='atttion'
'rac' going into 'atttion' is 'ATTRACTION'.

Can you help me to learn more?
