You may have heard about this, it is referred to as "lift throttle oversteer" It is one of the most common major mistakes that rookies make on the track. If anyone remembers the pictures of the 997 GT2 I put up a while back, the one that crashed...guess what happened...yeah. Having the weight at the rear of the porsche helps grip until you lift and lose grip, then it becomes a pendulum.

First of all, RCZ was spot on throughout this thread, thanks for the in depth response. I now need to say nothing

Second, snow (if you have it) is a great time to practice controlling oversteer situations in a MUCH easier setting, using the same principles.
Tons of fun, especially if you are rocking AWD.

Third, weight transfer can be a bitch, don't lift in highspeed corners

unless you are in formula D and your name is Tanner Foust.
