One of the VERY few videos of actual snap oversteer. You can tell how he did react properly at first by staying on the throttle, so he didn't spin out from lift-off oversteer, but then he countersteered too far and/or too long = snap oversteer.
how comparable is lift-off oversteer on a FWD (205/206)? I corrected it (also hit a oilpatch causing it) in a similir manner only I put in the clutch after getting the rear stable again.
He came off of the inside curb and lost rear grip, and while he was sliding he let off the gas and counter steered as if he was in a FR layout car. When your fulcrum is in the back you can’t being doing dat
watching this without timestamps goes like "Oh shit a corner, rip" but then he survives and its like "oh cool he made i-- oh no another corner" and then you look in front and lo and behold, there are more MR2s...
The driver must be a FR owner is his past life. He held that counter steer wayyyyyy to long. If this was a AE86, or a S13 etc... he would have been fine. To much weight transfer on the correction in the rear, which caused the snap oversteer
Can attest to this as I managed to make the car snap oversteer at the crainer curves by putting a wheel on the grass with all the weight over the front at high speed. This then involved a trip across the track and into the barrier. Luckily most of the damage was cosmetic and also to my ego haha
@@linkskywalker5417 sure it's different in handling to a FR car, but a beginner can drive if not a overzealous knob with the right foot and thinking it's a drift car...
I always here profusely by the MR2 community that it can be countered relatively easily if you know the car and know what you’re doing but dam, that snap is brutal! Seems like once it bites, it *really* bites, with little driver input can do.
Yeah those cars are brutal, I guess you have to drive drive and drive it for such a long time in order to counter it. But I guess the best thing is not making oversteer occur in the first place, though it is fun kicking the rear end around 😂
Of caurse it can't be easy to counter it, they are talking about oversteer and not snap, this thing is so difficult to counter it that even dedicated racers can't pull it off with consistency.
First time I experienced oversteer in my 90 mr2 it instantly reminded me of my first car, a 59 Bug, no issues though, came back like it was last week, though it was more like thirty years ago!
@@djstatyk1540 I recall going down a hill toward a T intersection with a major road, l had a stop sign and brake fade. That's a bit of nostalgia best left in the past. I stopped, just.
So many in the comments saying this is not snap oversteer, it seems a lot of people have the wrong idea what snap oversteer is, and this is CLEARLY a text book example of snap oversteer. (Snap oversteer is when you loose grip in the rear and corrects it and it snaps back into place with such force and momentum that it sends you into often a 180 or 360 spin the other way).
Slow it down to 1/4 playback speed and you can see around 3:07, the back end got light over the curb on the right-hander. Maybe he let off the gas..not sure ... it looks like the weight shifted forward about a second later, and the driver over corrected on the steering, and that put him into the grass on the left. Maybe a little less countersteering and not lifting abruptly on the throttle, and it could've been saved in a four wheel drift. Maybe. Once he it the lawn it was over. In a front-engined car if you weight shift forward, it can get tail happy, but there is less weight out back to throw around so it is easier to get it back. With a mid or rear engined car, there is a lot more momentum in the wiggly rear end. You're throwing the weight of the engine/trans back and forth. That's why you want to come in a smidge slower than a front-engined car and smoothly get on the power in the turn to keep the rear end firmly planted. Balancing traction between front and rear wheels matters more when the drivetrain weight is on the rear axle and steering is on the front axle.
I removed my fuel tank and mounted a 12 gallon fuel cell in the front trunk, then relocated the battery to the area the fuel tank was, there is a 75% improvement in the way my 89 MR2 handles.
What did he do? It looks like he let off instead of keeping it down while turning. Thinking of getting first gen MR2. Had a Miata 20 years ago,in an LS460 now.
He didnt return to center early enough. Go frame by frame at 3:09 and you can see that the wheels are turned left still while the car is movign forward, then it begins to move left again. The final spin is because he applied the brakes at 3:10 once he went off of the track.
@@ErikSeastead Correct! When he lost traction he actually stayed on the throttle like should have, you can tell because otherwise he would have spun out to the right. Then he did regain traction but held the countersteer too long = snap oversteer.
@@CaillouLP not to mention smoother pedal inputs would have also helped. If he had lifted off a slight but and had faster steering adjustment like you said, he could have recovered. #1 rule of MR2s: be gentle
That's because snap oversteer is caused by driver error. Snap oversteer happens when the rear tyres lose grip and slip out, causing the driver to countersteer, but then the rear tyres suddenly regain grip and launch the car the other way.
feral4mr2 It's not to hide mistakes - snap oversteer, by definition, is caused by mistakes. Those mistakes are especially easy to make in an MR2 because of the car's design. Snap oversteer is when the tail end begins to step out one direction, then as the driver countersteers and lays off the throttle. The tires find grip suddenly and the car will quickly pendulum the other direction. MR2 drivers commonly make this mistake since in a lightweight, lower-power, grippy mid engine car, it's easy to make these mistakes since it doesn't take as long for the tires to suddenly find grip as it would on an FR. Snap oversteer can occur in all drive systems, of course, but still. MR2s make it way easier.
i wish every person who talked about snap oversteer like it was some sort of mythical beast that is inherent to to mid engine cars had to surrender their mr2s to me
This was driver error, got loose on exit, over-corrected steering and lifted the throttle which threw the weight onto the front tires which were then pointed in the wrong direction.
Till now, I didn't realize the MR2 became well known (and kinda meme-ified) due to snap oversteer. I was kinda wondering why the MR2 is a bit more "gimmicky" (I don't know how to describe it in any other way) than any other MR car I've driven in Gran Turismo 5.
Woah, i see many comments speaking about the car, the driver, many tecnical stuff but i think that he lost the car because he gave throttle on the curb.......
In defence, that was pretty much the first time I'd driven the car in anger after getting the entire engine rebuilt, replacing the gearbox for one that didn't have a totally fucked second gear and I'd also added a twin plate clutch with a lighter flywheel. So yes to say I was a bit rusty is an understatement.@@camrunner6633
Wonder if it has an open diff or a worn out LSD. Seems like it unloaded the right rear as it drifted left, then snapped back hard when it caught traction again.
Am I correct in assuming that if you've had experience with AWD sliding out behind you on slippery tyres, had the Normal snapback and correct, then you should be ok to correct this situation just .5 of a millisecond slower in reaction in Snapback?
Yes, you could move the gas tank and the battery and the radiator and few other bits and bobs to the front and that would help a bit but still these are mid engine cars, you don't want to offset that.
It would, but it's a stupid idea. The light front end is THE reason why all serious performance cars are mid/rear engine. With the center of mass so far in the rear you can keep traction in corners for longer, the downside is just that when traction is eventually lost, it happens more sudden and quicker and you have to react more precisely (only lift throttle a little bit, stop the countersteer before the car is straight again).
I’m making a video on snap oversteer. Would it be cool with you if I used your video for the video I’m making? I will make sure to credit you if it’s okay.
I think he powered on too early, causing it to drift and when he felt it instead of punching the gas, he just let the car gain traction causing it to snip snap
It's super useful to go f*** around in your car and get a fuel for sliding it just in case it ever happens. Mr and full rear engine cars may work better to an extent but honestly it's not worth the trade off. Even my Mustang versus my mom's Corvette, the mustangs rear end is a tendency to slide out a little bit easier but if it does it's a lot more savable than on the Corvette. the Corvettes were in with the engine even being as far back as it is does not like to slide as much and can get real sketchy.
Did this in my 02 wrx trying to drift and jumped a median but gotta say the wrx is a tank cuz nothing happened to it just jumped the median like a champ
i have seen honda ek racecar & experienced it in my k24 ep3 snap oversteer either wet or cooked tyres. the good thing was it was on a track with great runoff & not on the st with curbs & power poles
Easy for me to say but it looks like he was trying to do that, he was turning late and yanking on the wheel kind of hard. But thats easy for me to say, I wasn't in the car.
In racing games I tune my cars for snap oversteer. It's how I drift. I only do it in AWD cars tho, so I can power through and keep going. That's how I hoon.
He was kinda asking for it the way he was driving :D If he would've drove smoother and used all the track like POV car there would've been less change this to happen xd
Ive never driven any ferrari, but porsches handling is amazing ... at first i use to think that they were "hammers on wheels" (for the heavier rear) but you can read one easily, no surprises at all
I used to own a mr2 and now a Porsche cayman. The mr2 was most definitely harder to regain control while drifting or getting into a situation. The cayman handles like a beast
Every mid/rear engine car is prone to lift-off oversteer/snap oversteer, it's just what happens when the center of mass is so far back. In fact even FR cars can do both if you provoke it. But modern sports cars probably have lots of tweaks to avoid it.
That is literally what snap oversteer is - holding the countersteer for too long. Staying on the throttle is essential, otherwise you would just spin out further (lift-off oversteer).
Dude literally he snapped it flicked the wheel the other way and didn’t expect it not to happen I know fucking mr2s are known for it but damn that isn’t my kinda forte though 😂
The problem is morons trying to drive a mid-engined car the same way they do one w/the engine in the front. Owned an '85 for five years and a '91 for eleven. Never ONCE spun out.
there's no such thing. There is lift off overseer, snap only occurs when a driver doesn't return to center on time after a slide... as In this case. To add to the viciousness of the spin, he not only let off, but he also mashed the brakes. All big no nos.
The vast majority of tracks are well wide enough that if a spin out happens on one side of a slow corner, it can generally be avoided.. that and it looked like a bunch of traffic was there. Slamming the anchors on could've easily ended in a pile crash behind!
This is a clear case of snap oversteer... (Hint snap oversteer is when you loose grip in the rear and corrects it and it snaps back into place with such force and momentum that it sends you into a 180 or 360 spin).
If he had hit me you would've definitely seen it in the video. He came incredibly close though as I saw him fly across the track in my rear view mirror. If I was going a bit slower he would've pretty much written off my car.
@@IdiotRace I didn't think he hit you hard, but I heard a sound just as were pass which sounded an awful lot like some contact was made. That's why I time stamped it. Glad that everything worked out.
Jordan Adams I have a MR2 as well SW20(MK2) although mine is guilty of oversteering, it doesn’t make it a bad car. Besides correcting oversteer is pretty easy, all you have to do is to buy cheap tires and go to an empty and spacious lot to experiment on how to correct an oversteer. The reason why MR2s are looked upon as a bad car, is just because people are either reckless or inexperienced mostly both.
@@pekonomials5246 I'm definitely more of a ride it out person than a try and slow down and freak out. When traction is at stake, the less changes to anything, the better, especially sudden ones. I love it, favorite car by far
You’re missing the entry points and apexes on most corners in the video which leads to wrong steering and throttle input almost each times you turn! Slow down and get some beginners course, you’ll see then how handsome, easy and fast that car is!
They're spectacular cars provided you can drive competently. The snap oversteer stereotype given to the MR2s is a result of the drivers treating them like FRs. Snap oversteer is more and less prominent from car to car, but every car is equally capable of not snapping provided the driver watches their countersteer.

The problem is morons trying to drive a mid-engined car the same way they do one w/the engine in the front. Owned an '85 for five years and a '91 for eleven. Never ONCE spun out.

ive never had mine snap yet, and i have a rev 1 which is meant to be worst for it haha
there's no such thing. There is lift off overseer, snap only occurs when a driver doesn't return to center on time after a slide... as In this case. To add to the viciousness of the spin, he not only let off, but he also mashed the brakes. All big no nos.

Oh snap moments 😂
You should have slowed down immediately behind him rather than overtaking from the right HOPING for the best!
The vast majority of tracks are well wide enough that if a spin out happens on one side of a slow corner, it can generally be avoided.. that and it looked like a bunch of traffic was there. Slamming the anchors on could've easily ended in a pile crash behind!

Thats not snap oversteer, the rear stepped out and he over corrected causing it to spin
This is a clear case of snap oversteer... (Hint snap oversteer is when you loose grip in the rear and corrects it and it snaps back into place with such force and momentum that it sends you into a 180 or 360 spin).
ofc its an mr2 lol
3:13. Did he hit you?
If he had hit me you would've definitely seen it in the video. He came incredibly close though as I saw him fly across the track in my rear view mirror. If I was going a bit slower he would've pretty much written off my car.
@@IdiotRace I didn't think he hit you hard, but I heard a sound just as were pass which sounded an awful lot like some contact was made. That's why I time stamped it. Glad that everything worked out.
Too much countersteer

How come mr2s are not appreciated as drift cars?? Lmaoooooo
because of this i guess
ELITE COCK FIGHTER not really, some drift cars are actually tuned to oversteer in order to get a better slip for initiating a drift
@@pekonomials5246 He definitely over-corrected. I have a mk1a and i have yet to even have it break loose, much less make me spin or anything
Jordan Adams I have a MR2 as well SW20(MK2) although mine is guilty of oversteering, it doesn’t make it a bad car. Besides correcting oversteer is pretty easy, all you have to do is to buy cheap tires and go to an empty and spacious lot to experiment on how to correct an oversteer. The reason why MR2s are looked upon as a bad car, is just because people are either reckless or inexperienced mostly both.
@@pekonomials5246 I'm definitely more of a ride it out person than a try and slow down and freak out. When traction is at stake, the less changes to anything, the better, especially sudden ones. I love it, favorite car by far
You’re missing the entry points and apexes on most corners in the video which leads to wrong steering and throttle input almost each times you turn!
Slow down and get some beginners course, you’ll see then how handsome, easy and fast that car is!
No drift no fun)

Stay in it... you over correct and let off all and once and bingo imbalance and too much grip...
That thing is a death trap.
They're spectacular cars provided you can drive competently. The snap oversteer stereotype given to the MR2s is a result of the drivers treating them like FRs.
Snap oversteer is more and less prominent from car to car, but every car is equally capable of not snapping provided the driver watches their countersteer.
Like two grannies driving to bingo...boring and slow with terrible lines
