Video Transcript:
Let's talk about the difference between oversteer and understeer. Driver coaches Kai Goddard and Andy Lee explain both scenarios and offer some great advice on how to handle each situation.
Understeer is just the worst feeling in the world. It's the more common of the two slides and most production cars or street legal cars are designed to understeer a little bit. There's no grip. Their front end is not working. You're turning, turning, turning, and you're just going straight. You want to go over here, but you're going to end up over here. The arch itself widens, because you're going too fast, and you're turning too much or you're probably turning in too early. At that point you know your lap time is probably in the toilet, but what we want to do now is save the car.
For a pro driver, a big oversteer slide like this is a lot of fun. But if you're new to driving, this can be a very terrifying situation. How do we handle this? Well once you get into this scenario, there's a few steps you need to follow.
If you learned something, but you want more detail or you're interested in some private coaching lessons, follow the links through opentrack.com where you can get in touch with Kai and Andy.

    The oversteer segment with the the slow mo car in the background was a really cool shot, well done. The normal speed play through right at the start of the segment makes it seem like they were part of the same shot, caught me off guard when it came back through in slow motion glory.

    Dude I was in my E46 seen a guy on a motorcycle doing burnouts, I'm turning left into a very narrow street where he is but in the opposite lane, so I decided I'm going to join in on all the fun I go to drift the corner from a complete stop manage to drift the corner go in between the motorcycle to my left and a parked car to my right mean while my dad is looking at me scared shitless cause he thought I was going to crash I straightened out and left happy... Now yesterday I did the same thing but oversteered and almost went flying into a parked car on the curb to the right, I took my foot off the gas which I know now is stupid, cause then my whole car swung to the right into the oncoming lane of traffic almost hitting another BMW driving then finally corrected myself... I felt so good damn stupid and now I think back of how lucky I was I didn't lose control n hit that motorcycle the last time I pulled that crap... I can only say at least I didn't hurt anyone or hit any vehicles, and I learned my lesson and won't pull these stupid stunts on the streets till I'm at least way more experienced... I don't really like spinning my tires and drifting all the time but I do get that urge when I'm in a big empty lot to do sum sick ass pulls n burnouts I love cars and I love the sound of the engine, the tires smokin, and just the driving physics alone but after that happened I felt like I didn't even deserve my car, my car is at least 22 years old and still beautiful as hell and I would of smashed my front end cause my stupidity I definitely learned how easy it is to lose control

    this doesnt go for track driving but more for street driving, but if you're ever understeering one thing you can do is pull ur handbreak a little (at lower speeds) to provide some oversteer to correct your car's nose and point you where you want to go.

    No, don't do this, you're going to upset the car. The instructors are correct. Put a little pressure on the brake pedal to transfer the weight to the front wheels. What you are mentioning might work in slow corners on loose, low grip surface, but not on asphalt.

    Understeer is likely more common because most street legal cars are FWD. Sliding out on a roundabout in the wet thanks to understeer can be a little scary the first couple of times, but it's fun once you know how to correct it. I'd recommend NOT applying the brakes during understeer because you've got no traction anyway and they won't do much. Just take your foot off the throttle and let the engine do the braking if you're at a low enough speed. I have actually almost span out when understeering too because for whatever reason, my front end decided to keep going and my rear tyres still had traction. I've even accidentally oversteered a Nissan Cabstar when leaving the yard at an old job and heading onto a main road. I didn't even realise that it was RWD at the time and the ground was slightly wet. Luckily for me it was only a small slide and needed hardly any correction.
