Getting the tail is easy, it's knowing what to do when it happens that's the key ;)

My understanding of getting it back is a little opposite lock then ease off the gas a tad. That about right?

Sort of depends how much it's out :lol:

When drifting you actually let go of the wheel and let the car steer itself, steering is more done through your right foot

What ever you do don't let off the power completely, the car will snap back and then fling you into a tank slapper

I little step out yeah, bit of counter steer, ease off (in drifting it's at that point you floor it, so not natural lol)

Thanks ammo. I know about snap oversteer, early ap1's were quite bad for it apparently...

Only had it out a bit so far so I'm doing right ATM :lol:

Yet again I am undone by the absence of a *drool* smiley!

Nice going :D

PS. Further to LLL's "I tapped a lamp post comment" - knowing this forum I always thought when that one appeared it would have nothing at all to do with oversteer... :?

Nice buy alex. To be fair, these will go sideways but dont like it. I drove my friends one and it was extremely hard to keep sideways. Always wanted to go in a straight line again!
