The correction wants to be added at the same rate the car rotates (which is usually pretty quick.) The amount of correction that should be added is the amount that the car “gets sideways,” keeping the front tires pointed on your intended path. This is where you “turn into the skid,” steering in the direction that the car is sliding towards. If the driver can successfully steer where they want to go throughout an oversteer skid, they have done the following 3 steps successfully: 1. But it’s really as simple as always steering where you want to go. You’re always keeping the front tires where you want to go regardless of what the car is doing underneath you, skidding, not skidding, heck, even upside down and on fire! Kidding, sort of. The rotation of the car at this point would be the proportional difference in radius between the front and rear tires. If the driver can compensate for this by asking for less steering once oversteer starts, the fronts will join a more similar radius of the rears and the rotation of the car will slow and/or stop. Remember, the only reason a car rotates is because the front is turning on a tighter radius than the rears are. Oversteer just means the driver must allow the fronts to travel a bigger radius, just like the rears are, so that the car doesn’t continue to rotate. That, and have plenty of experience doing it.Īn oversteering car is never out of control.

In order to be comfortable with oversteer the performance driver must understand what it is, why it happens and how to correct it.

Some drivers even prefer a little bit of it in the quest to get a nice, balanced car. If managed properly, oversteer is very correctable.

Oversteer is a problem to the performance driver because if left uncorrected it can result in a complete loss of control and potentially a big crash. To put more simply, the rear tires start to skid before the fronts. Oversteer – Any time the rear tires are seeking a bigger radius than the fronts. The old saying goes “understeer is when you crash into the wall going forward, oversteer is when you crash into the wall going backward.”Īs blunt as it is, this actually makes a great deal of sense when explained to a completely new track driver.įrom a technical standpoint, I define oversteer as this:
