At least he'd be able to see where he was going. It's much easier for a newb to get himself killed in a RWD car in a situation like this. Lots of people don't understand the dynamic when you put together RWD, a loss of drive wheel traction, and a corner.

yea, I was informed to practice at an open space with no other cars, people, or obstacles, and I pulled a couple of runs.
It was worth a try and loved the feeling.
I will never attempt a try at a public road even if I become natural doing it.

Isn't that called "drifting"?

Drifting is an art. Full throttle mid way through turn is different.

FYI: Drifting DOES NOT EQUAL TO Spin-Out

But it certainly can lead to it

It really feels like I am drifting since I have to hold my steering wheel to the opposite direction of the car moving.

Wait, have I just learned drifting without knowing? lol.

Then you're too hot into the corner. It's not your acceleration causing it, it's your entry speed and most likely you're on the brakes with the wheel turned. In too hot>panic>brake while turning>unbalanced car>oversteer.

Yup, I was going into corners too fast, didn't get enough straight line brake in and lost it while braking/turning a few times. Slow in, fats out, and do your braking straight are good pieces of advice I will remember next track day.

Just remember, the stickiest tires, an LSD and best coilovers the world can't compensate for the squishy bag of flesh between the steering wheel and driver seat. Driving technique > any mod you can bolt on to a car.
