Understeer: You get off the road. Oversteer: You get off the road. But in style.
Lol
😂😂😂
In other words, drift you moron. Cuz I'm a tree.
"And you die..."
Same ending..
But in different style..
Lmao
Nothing will ever describe it as elegantly as Martin Brundle did.
"Over steer is hitting the wall with the back of the car,
Under steer is hitting the wall with the front of the car,
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall,
And Torque is how far you move the wall once you've hit it."
Just had a car accident on the mountain road last month. I would say that every single word on this statement is so true.
Got a link for that?
Is torque to do with ratios?
thelolmaster1997 it’s the torquing force created by the engine.
@@thelolmaster1997 yes. thats what gears are for. every gear corresponds to a certain ratio between wheel rpm and engine rpm.
say one gear turns the wheels at 1 rev for every rev of the engine. now you shift to a higher gear that turns the wheels twice for every engine rev. now the power is "diluted" over 2 wheel revs instead of 1, giving you only half the torque (rotational force) while allowing for higher speed without overreving the engine.
Cop: "You do know that drifting is illegal on this road."
Me: "Sorry sir i was *over steering* ."
Cop: *"THE FU-"*

@Jordan Robshaw your comment deserves more grip.
@Jordan Robshaw yes my delivery boi needs more tofu comments
@Jordan Robshaw grip equals time. Drift equals style
I have oversteered a few times in my gt-86. Can confirm the back swang round, I crashed into a tree and died.
Did you survive it?

when the car loses traction it can either play

"Understeer is when you want to turn but the car goes straight you hit a tree and you die. Oversteer is when you want to turn but the back of the car spins, you hit a tree and you die. Now oversteer is best because you dont see the tree that kills you"

understeer: rimac
oversteer: vampire
Understeer: Driver shits themselves
Oversteer: Passenger shits themselves
Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back
Having owned a 90s foxbody Mustang in my teens I can assure you oversteer is when both driver and passenger shit themselves.
David McClelland when you can't drive
I didn't say I couldn't drive. The tail was going 180 degrees from one side to the other on a 2 lane back road with curves after snap oversteer typical of Mustangs and as I said I was a teen with a lot of enthusiasm and zero training. I controlled it and went on my way, but it was memorable for both me and the passenger to say the least.
David McClelland True. I've had that happen in my BMW slamming gears on the highway while it was wet. Fortunately for me my teen years I taught myself how to drift and it helped me correct before I killed myself at 120 😂
That Audi bounced off the wall with way too little damage for that impact!

Nah, if it was a volvo, it wouldnt have had a scratch either but the guardrail would have been completely destroyed xD

Yes, it works. Keep a boot on the low side so you can kick the bike back up if it slips off the drift. You can easily clear a 360 spin, good trick to clear barriers.

"Oversteer: for most car lovers perfectly executed oversteer is as good a feeling as sex. It's the art of making a car dance beyond the limit of grip, and when you learn how to perfectly control it, every corner, roundabout and t-junction is a potential celebration of going sideways (except in the eyes of the laws, other road users, and general common sense)." Perfectly composed.
We need wide open asphalt patches in driving schools to practice recovering from slips and drifts.
Plus, it'd be a load of fun!
the premise is that you get a simple driver's license. not a racing driver.
@@renatoigmed I live in Canada so I encounter slip conditions all the time. Luckily I had the instincts the first time around from racing games not to overcorrect too much and I managed to keep from going into the ditch. Would've been nice to have been trained how to do it properly though!
My teacher took us out on a frozen lake and taught us. It probably saves me from at least 3 winter accidents.
Thats what I was thinking. It would not prevent idiots but at least teach anyone how to recover, because panic = death in some cases...
Fact: understeer scares driver
oversteer scares passengers. True that.
Bot everyone can drift, fact in my country insurance for rwd is higher because many wrap it around a pole.
I just oversteard in FWD Nissan. Idk how. But it was snowing

Also, Takumi actually uses understeer to slide his car, something as in "slip angle"

Nostalgia Rookie this guy gets it
It started snowing today, so my dad took me to a parking lot to test out driving in slippery conditions. I understeered a lot and managed to oversteer in a semi- controlled manner once.
That was amazingly fun!
Nothing is more fun than drifting a GT86 around at 15mph in the rain (may require stock tyres) :P
It's a shame they don't teach this stuff in driving lessons. They cover nothing about how to properly handle a RWD car and deal with oversteer. A lot of instructors will probably tell people to slam the brakes on if they loose traction, which will make things even scarier.
that's why I bought FWD as my first car, they're great for learning - I have a Fiesta ST as my first car to eventually make a transition to RWD so I don't kill myself in those, cause they literally told us jack shit about how to combat oversteer.
I got hassled for not slamming the brakes when I wrecked my Mustang avoiding animals in the road at night. Like having all 4 tires skid across the road is going to make me regain traction or something.
Smokin Moses I didn’t have a choice but FWD 😂 doing an apprenticeship while living away from home meant I wasn’t able to afford anything so had to use my mums aygo 😂 picking up my ‘first’ car (MX5) in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait for some mad skids
@@Racing_Fox413 congrats on the new car man!
Shaswat Singh cheers, can’t wait!
"Oversteer is best because you don't see the tree that kills you" my God, I laughed hard!
I lost it going around a sweeping left turn going probably 90mph in the rain and by pure instinct and drifted it to perfection in my GTI with my friend next to me, one of the coolest and scariest things to happen to me in the past year
Honestly, knowing your car is extremely important as well, since each reacts differently. I have understeered and even understeer drifted in my '99 Buick LeSabre, and with the right tires and wheel size it has some impressive handling. Now since it's an older car it doesn't self-correct, but that puts more responsibility on the driver. The good thing about these cars is that the suspension makes it lean around hard corners, but it won't flip on you. Indeed it comes down to "the driver and not the car" to an extent.
Ok man
dedication chris is famous for his well handled crashes.
Haha famous for all the wrong reasons
Chris Crash mirite ;)
Everybody saying when you oversteer you become like Takumki. When the fact is that Takumi actually *UNDERSTEERS* to drift. Yup you heard that right. Its called four wheel drifting and that's a faster way to exit corner while drifting. Its when you understeer your front tyres while making it point at a corner you slide your car.

*KANSEI DORIFTO*
I drove my slightly modified 250whp Saab 9-3 Aero the other month at 3 in the morning home from a party, gave two guys a lift as they had missed their bus time window and were on the same way anyway. Turned out one of the guys owned a 400bhp WRX STI and as I took them for a spin he said he'd let me test drive if I wanted to. Now, I don't condone street racing or driving wrecklessly or anything like that, I'm a quite competent driver and I will say I did drive a bit too fast, but there are outer factors as well ON TOP of you as a driver being able to make a mistake, so if you're going to drive fast GO TO A TRACK!
I realise I am contradicting myself by what I'm about to say here, and the reason I'm saying it is because I learnt my lesson. I took the STI on a test drive, reaching speeds of around 200kph + on backroads (120mph) and the scariest bit of lift-off oversteer hit me like a tonne of bricks in the middle of a corner, was going about the maximum radius arc the car would do and I had to lift off, and let me tell you, dumping the throttle causes a bit more problems in the real world than it does in Assetto Corsa, there's no restart button let me tell you that.
Bottom line is, this shit happens easier than you'd think. I've always been way too confident in my abilities for my own good, luckily this time I was able to salvage the situation but another time I or someone else wouldn't be so lucky. I was going way, waaay too fast for public roads, yes. But then again, it was completely dry tarmac, in a WRX STI on coilovers and 235 wide tires, I mean really, the thing was _planted_. I used to think my 9-3 on 225's was good, this was in a whole other world, and out of nowhere it just kicks me right back down to earth like that. So remember that kids, stay on your toes, moments like these come when you least expect them to.
Fredrik Nilsson I mean yeah, trying your limits on public roads is never a good idea, better to just leave that to the track.
Ok

One way to prevent under steer:
Shift the weight to the front so the front is gonna be heavy so it will give you more traction but the drawback is that you're wearing out the front tires and brakes alot faster because it took all the load.
its actually no. then more weight 8n front then more front wheels are sliding forward not to the corner so you just slowing down by pushing the brake that giving your understeer a chance to catch the grip.+ the rear wheels are now sliding more so car become unstable because no weight on back
Traction Control: *OFF*
"KANSEI DORIFTOOOOOOOOOO"
That's unless if you shift your weight. If not, then its Back on the Rocks for you
"This is known as oversteer."
Correction: Listening to eurobeat.
Looks like Takumi really achieved his dreams. He is now racing on a track.
Oversteer: Your heart beat suddenly goes up as you go sideways.
Understeer: Your heart beat slowly slowly goes up as you come closer and closer to that inviting tree.
Every time you oversteer, there is always a tree waiting to claim your life.
New owner to a rwd car, 2012 genesis coupe, and it suffices to say that I am a novice in the art of the drift, and I may have lost control in a spirited left hand turn without traction control, luckily no one was hurt and my car was unscathed. This video was super helpful in educating me, and I learned that traction control is a friend to the uneducated like me. So Thanks!!
"perfectly executed oversteering is a feeling as good as sex" I love it x'D
yeet
This is so great- hilarious. And also super accurate.
Ferrari Dave I know rite.....u crash in the tree and u die
My dad was teaching me how to drive and I ended up under-steering and hitting a storm drain. He got really mad and I still don't know how to drive but most importantly I had no idea what I did wrong, it felt to me like I was turning the steering wheel more than enough and trying to brake in time and I had no idea what happened, thanks for the explanation.
I am aware that this video is slightly old but I just want to take the time to thank the Car Throttle channel as a learner driver in the UK as it has provided me with helpful information and knowledge which I take into consideration every time I’m in a driving lesson, so thank you for your helpful and entertaining videos!!

I like both companies and you are just wrong, mate.
BMW are better around a corner, Audi is better in a straight line.
Also Audi has measurably better build quality. (Smaller body gap dimensions)
In terms of comfort both are equal and when it comes to design its just personal taste.

Hi Car Throttle - great video. As your video suggests - best to practice recovering from over- and under-steer on a track or other controlled roadway. Thanks for the video. All the best, Cheers Rick
I find the best way to counter understeer is to come completely off the throttle allowing the back end to loosen up but before it comes past me I'm back on full throttle and pulling it back into a straight line in the intended direction... In my opinion its a lot easier than just easing off and less terrifying that reducing steering angle but it does take a bit of getting used to
I crashed my car yesterday like that. Unfortunately bad tires and water caused my car to oversteer as soon as I took out throttle :l
I remember the first time I oversteered my car, I recovered perfectly by easing of the brake and countersteering.
It was a great high on my way into work
3:33 to those who say FWD "Can't Drift"
FWD can drift, but far more styless and unwatchable.
FWD can drift with handbreak the problem is you can not sustain the drift as much as a 4WD or a RWD
It's easy to drift a FWD. All you do is close your eyes while the car is traveling at top speed, take a deep breath... and then flick the steering wheel all the way to one side while lifting off the throttle completely. This is also considered a safe way of drifting too.
They can't drift, they can only ass-drag
No, they _literally_ can't, they can slide and or power slide, but they can't dirft
1:05 that car is a fookin tank no scratch!!!

I instinctly recovered the car from understeering on a turn of a montain road which doesn't have any barriers to stop car from falling to the river from 40m up there...I realesed my feet from the clutch so the wheels get heavier and then started to break. But bro, when the car started to understeer, I saw myself diving right into the river and dying, I'm so happy that I could recover it. It happened to me 2 days ago.
If you read everything. Thank you for reading my short story and drive safe
Btw idk if it was 40m, but it was pretty high there. It could be more or less, I really don't know
I actually crashed my car yesterday night cause of understeering and lift-off oversteer
make a video on different exhausts like x pipe h pipe ect
ALWAYZz-ME that's a great idea - as I know I had to do a ton of research to figure that all out
That's literally what Engineering Explained is for.
also have a look at engine masters on motortrend...
they just did a video comparing twin pipe, xpipe and h pipe
look at motor trend channels Engine masters they did an episode on that
This is pretty helpful video.
This will improve my skills in playing speed underground 2. lol
Of course it will!
Came here cuz I almost understeered into the grass few days ago - could even say that it could have possibly flipped my car. My car seems to engage the LSD very easily so I tend to do a combo of light-steer + gradual foot of throttle + gradual braking to combat oversteering when taking sharp corners. That it (the car) is also decently fast means it's easy to get into oversteering situations if I'm not careful. So, when driving the other day, I steered so lightly that the wheels barely moved, which I noticed only because I was much closer to the left side of the road than usual!
Thank God I don't lose my cool easily; otherwise I would have probably done everything you mentioned here that worsens understeering.

In a nutshell
FWD = understeer
RWD = oversteer
Turboahdettu Supra sort of but that assume you're hard on the throttle. It has to do with weight and chassis as well. I.e. I got my older Audi to stop understeer with a larger rear sway bar.
Turboahdettu Supra understeer can happen on RWD and FWD cars

Oversteer: * Eurobeat starts playing *
1:57 I thought you were the one...listen to my heart instead of my head
Me: *watching this video sitting on my bicycle, learning how to steer CARS* 😂😂
i would like to point out that the general consensus is that under steer is usually bad as there is little that you can do to control the outcome. while it is true that it can be more predictable and effectively safer for younger drivers, over steer is more often preferred since it will give you more control of vehicle angle and in some cases speed on corner exit, but only if you know how to do it correctly. I myself have fallen victim to both under and over-steer at the same time causing me to, coincidentally, crash into a series of trees. to sum up what happened in little words, was going slightly over the speed limit after a light drizzle, lost traction on a county road, thus under-steer and to try to avoid landing in a bad ditch i accidentally induced lift-off over-steer, did a 540 degree spin and landed in the opposite ditch. car was totaled afterwards

I experienced lift-off oversteer in my understeering car on the middle of a ramp off the motorway many years ago, in pretty bad road conditions. I ended up completely sideways on the ramp, but by some miracle didn't hit either ramp wall. It happened so fast that I hardly knew what happened before it was already over. I managed to get back in the right direction and continue driving, but it was a bit scary, not gonna lie.

As a new driver today I had my first encounter with understeer on a van like car on a really tricky corner due to too much speed (I thought I was at another much bigger corner and I was partly blinded by an ass eater at night with not enough sleep) I didn't hit the breaks not lift the throtle but I did add more steering imput and a bit of throtle to avoid the bus comming the other way. Needles to say I'm gratefull I have some adverse conditions driving lessons in about 3 months (wish it was sooner). great video
3:15 Surely a limited slip diff does't limit traction... it give you more traction out of the corner?
Oversteer: Boot/trunk of the car gets annihilated first.
Understeer: You get annihilated first.
Remembered this video after trying to do a small drift on a turn with a boosted fwd car and ended losing the rear. Managed to not hit the curb but the car completely spinned facing backwards. I've done it many times without losing it but this time my mistake was that i had put too much air on the tires and they were cold. Lesson learned. Be careful on the road guys.
i watched this video 5 times in the past 2 years
every time i rewatch i surprised how much information it included

One blessing with the C5 Corvette was the package to go TIGHT-LOOSE, under acceleration. It's quite OK to stay in the power until it tries to switch from over to understeer or 4-wheel drift....if you have room and are accustomed to it. And if you can afford the tires.
There was a condition you skipped, which is over-rotation. The tires are going where they are pointing, but tracking (toe) is out and your tires aren't pointing the same direction as the car will show uneven wear, even if you aren't a drifting champion.
Final condition - NOT actually a problem, it just feels like one. Something I encountered going from a large 4-door vehicle to a 2-seater. The drivers seat is much, much closer to the rear wheels in the smaller 2-seater and it gives a FALSE feeling of over rotation or oversteer and you try to drive off the road to steer into a slide that does not exist.
Anyone else love Celica GTs
