WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CAR OVERSTEERS?

accreditation

What is oversteer?

WHEN cornering and your rear tyres lose traction because of the pull of the sideways momentum.  

What happens?

When a vehicle oversteers, the tail swings out with the turn making the vehicle slide sideways.

Learning to control this is essential both for safety and if you want to race.

Why oversteer?

Purposely oversteering and going sideways through corners quickly is a big part of drifting, racing and rallying.
