Oversteer and Understeer on the track

This video shows an example of oversteer and an example of understeer during my rookie year of solosprints on tracks driving a Honda Insight. During the oversteer my panic caused me to correct the wheel too quickly and overcompensated by turning it too much. This resulted in a tail slapper that got out of hand until I lost speed going sideways and rolled off the track backwards slowly. The original video is higher quality and clearly shows I was during this turn at over 100 km/hr (60 mph) both times.I was using Race compound tires.

wonder if u could've got away with it if u floored' the throttle as the car started to slide. That does the trick when I'm going sideways in mum's mazda 323 when its wet;) But then I've got more "time" to react. Looked like things happend pretty crazy fast on the track there! (So I won't laugh at the horn-thing;)

a more basic and precise approach to achieving understeer & oversteer is applying it on a wet surface coz you tend to think slower to the fact that it's wet while instinctively pushing your vehicle to the limit & it'll just snap into over/under steer easily. But then again thats just my opinion & thats how i can really learn the vehicles limitation at a beginner level

I ever oversteered and understeered on public street..Oversteer, all peps kept watching over me...Understeer, it scratch my rim when I hit da nearby sidewalk..

A FWD car understeers if more power is applied while cornering, if the car was RWD (and had more power) you would be correct.

you oversteered because you applied alittle too much power into the apex and understeered due too going to fast upon entry of corner....but good effort anyway balls of steel...

HAHAHAHAHHA hilarious how your like flapping at the wheel and then honk the horn hahahahahaah great video but.. Also i think the oversteer could have been partially caused by suspension setup/body roll??? Did you apply throttle when you were going sideways??
