Video Transcript:
Let's talk about the difference between oversteer and understeer. Driver coaches Kai Goddard and Andy Lee explain both scenarios and offer some great advice on how to handle each situation.
Understeer is just the worst feeling in the world. It's the more common of the two slides and most production cars or street legal cars are designed to understeer a little bit. There's no grip. Their front end is not working. You're turning, turning, turning, and you're just going straight. You want to go over here, but you're going to end up over here. The arch itself widens, because you're going too fast, and you're turning too much or you're probably turning in too early. At that point you know your lap time is probably in the toilet, but what we want to do now is save the car.
For a pro driver, a big oversteer slide like this is a lot of fun. But if you're new to driving, this can be a very terrifying situation. How do we handle this? Well once you get into this scenario, there's a few steps you need to follow.
If you learned something, but you want more detail or you're interested in some private coaching lessons, follow the links through opentrack.com where you can get in touch with Kai and Andy.

“Oversteer is best because you don’t see the tree that kills you” -Richard Hammond
probabily the best comment in my day
@@marcor8721hii
Came directly from that video😂
Awesome and the odds to find such comment in here is fascinating.
@@DevinMcSaltysame here lmaoo
Ofc they pick the mustang for the oversteer😹
I was about to say this😂
Crowd
Mustang don’t steer. Period
the mustang was used to example both understeer and oversteer, its more common for inexperienced
drivers to oversteer in the gt3rs
big oooof
The edit at 1:47 is WOW.
Also can't believe you have fewer than 100 subscribers with such a great content. Hope when I come back to this comment a year later I'll be proud to be in the first 100 subscribers of your channel!
Timur Iskhodzhanov Thanks for the message. We’re just getting started:)
That edit was really something else, holy shit
Well 2 years later and this didn’t age well
138 тысяч просмотров. Неплохо)
wow, this is ultra professional quality . great editing , great cam work ,great graphic work , great sound, great presentation ,so clear
This is the best video on oversteer vs understeer. Rest of the videos are convoluted and confusing with unnecessary details
I am so grateful for the steering, brake and throttle overlay. Perfect.
The oversteer segment with the the slow mo car in the background was a really cool shot, well done. The normal speed play through right at the start of the segment makes it seem like they were part of the same shot, caught me off guard when it came back through in slow motion glory.
This has already been commented, but the edit around 1:50 is absolutely amazing. I kept skipping back so I could watch it again.
Thanks for posting these, made my day at the track much more productive.
The graphics were really helpful for me to understand what to do! I watched 3 other videos and was still confused until now. Thanks!
Holy shit the editing on this is legit , hope this channels blows up quality content !
this video is so freaking high quality. the demonstrations, explanations, graphics, editing, all of it is quick and concise. compressing a video that could take 30 mins+ into just under 3 is amazing. love it
Thanks Ive been wanting to know this in Need For Speed Carbon when I was little .
Awesome video!! Keep up the great work!! Love game like ‘break wheel display’! Love it!!
2023, and this video is still so relevant,, thank you
1:49 that editing skills deymmm 🔥🔥
Now I Finally get what doc hudson was trying to say. "Turn Left to go right".
I watched the video and thought that this channels has to have at least a couple hundred thousand followers. Great work!
Beautifully demonstrated....
Definitely subscribing now. That’s slick. Great video
Subbed! Clear video with insane editing. Thank you :)
wth this is top tier content. keep it up guys! subbed!
1:47 holy shit that was cool
Thank you for this channel! ❤
Subscribed just because of the 1:50 edit. Your channel has great videos, excellent explanation!
Lmao right? I was like "i dont know if i could confidently walk as a car is doing that right behind me." But then that edit kicked in and i realized he wasnt actually there at the same time as the car. 😂
Great video, I would have loved to see you guys include root causes for each.
Great Video!
Excellent information with visuals 👏👏👏👏👏🍻
That was a great explanation. Cheers 🍻
Impressive Quality for such an unknown Channel
Hey hey! Love Inde, I have gotten to have some one on one time with Kai in my hellcat. This tutorial is fantastic and simple, I should see you in Oct!
I literally have no idea what you said
@@CatGuy969 Is English a second language for you?
great content. deserves more subs!
Nah bru the editing is like no other
The editing is amazing
Thank you from KSA.
You guys are heroes. Excellent video and thanks for the tips.
Awesome thanks fellows. Would be interesting to know what changes necessary mechanically to adjust?
amazing video!
Love this video 🔥
I'm new driver, love you
Wow amazing video. I am not sure why this channel doesn't have like 1 million + subscribers. RUclips algorithm or just not a lot of car guys on youtube?
I used to work for a ski hill, funnest think was throwing my back end around on those mountain roads coming off the mountain.
Im gonna go try this in my nissan cube cubed now 😊
Can't remember who said it, but I found one way to easily describe the difference in the two.
"Oversteer is when the passenger gets scared. Understeer is when the driver gets scared."
Wow! Fast and easy
Now I need to see comedy sketch where someone has a heart attack in a restaurant. And when the waiter yells out if anybody can do CPR. Someone yells yes, and then runs outside to go power drifting in the parking lot.
That editing was gorgeous
Just did a wicked over steer with my stinger but i didnt have a chance to flick the steering wheel in the direction of the slide. It happens so fast i want to learn this but dont want to pay for the tires😂
I love oversteering in skyline blvd on portland oregon. Took a couple cars to wreck to learn this properly tho lmao
1:48 epic edit ever
this doesnt go for track driving but more for street driving, but if you're ever understeering one thing you can do is pull ur handbreak a little (at lower speeds) to provide some oversteer to correct your car's nose and point you where you want to go.
No, don't do this, you're going to upset the car. The instructors are correct. Put a little pressure on the brake pedal to transfer the weight to the front wheels. What you are mentioning might work in slow corners on loose, low grip surface, but not on asphalt.
Good
Nice
Great video and extremely informative. Several months ago I was in a situation driving my z. Throttling up slightly in a slide kept me out of the woods. Was I going too fast?.....yes I was but what a rush. If I do it again I would prefer it be on a track with no trees around.
Exactly how I crashed my Z (by failing to do what you did). Now I don't risk it on the street
Great video! I had the two terms completely mixed up in my head (thought oversteer was understeer) for years. My AWD car (Audi A6) understeers a bit at higher speeds and I'm guessing it's a safety reason (easier to control).
İt can be safety for you because your car is awd.İn fwd it is very horrible.Especially if you are on the narrow way.
So Circa produced the video? Like the effects/editing?
1:51 cool effect
Informative. Thank you.
Hi love from India - Tamil nadu
I owns lancer front driving car petrol
Can I fix both front and lower strut bar same time
And am planning to fix front and back lower arm bar
Can you do one about correcting understeer in a FWD. or is it really any different?
There are some differences but the physics are basically the same. We’d love to do another video focusing on FWD and AWD. Stay tuned.
Is oversteer similar to drifting, it looks like it but idk a lot about cars😅
Does it apply to fwd
Maybe someone explain why you don’t gently tap the brake on the RWD like the FWD under steer does?
What about snap over steer?
I just want to drive normally. Do rwd cars turn like a fwd ? I don’t want to drive in a track
But is this the same with all wheel drive and front wheel drive?? 🤔
Where was this filmed
1:28 I like how they use the mustang for the FAIL! lol
A stock car would flipped and crash if you try oversteering. We need a video on how to tune a ride suitable for oversteering.
But none of them hit the Tree in background??
ok now how to correct the understeer in a manuel front wheel car
How about fwd
Turn right to go left-Doc hudson
How can I work for you? I would love to apply for a job in your company. Would that be possible?
❣️
Can't you just brake when you understeer?
The nice thing about oversteer is that you didn't see the tree that killed you
But, when the car is fwd or rwd, does it affect the process??
With FWD you're more likely to understeer, and with RWD you're more likely to oversteer.
Understeer is likely more common because most street legal cars are FWD. Sliding out on a roundabout in the wet thanks to understeer can be a little scary the first couple of times, but it's fun once you know how to correct it.
I'd recommend NOT applying the brakes during understeer because you've got no traction anyway and they won't do much. Just take your foot off the throttle and let the engine do the braking if you're at a low enough speed.
I have actually almost span out when understeering too because for whatever reason, my front end decided to keep going and my rear tyres still had traction.
I've even accidentally oversteered a Nissan Cabstar when leaving the yard at an old job and heading onto a main road. I didn't even realise that it was RWD at the time and the ground was slightly wet. Luckily for me it was only a small slide and needed hardly any correction.
Understeer because the ass end is pushing the front end . More nose, weight,possibly caster adjustment.
I had a taste of under steer in my IS300 today. not a memorable experience what so ever
driving instructor: today we're gonna learn CPR...
student: if someone crashes?
driving instructor: no if you oversteer
Here From Internet Historian!
NFS MW, Here I Come!
in the movie "cars" i understood it better! LUL
Under Steering is Safe 'Won't Kill U'
Aftr Turning Accelerate. Not while Turning
Turning In = Braking
Mid Corner = Steering
Turning Out = Accelerate
Reduce Steering Lock = Increase Steering Response
I can correct understeer easily but not oversteer
Ain’t no cpr bullshit, das driftin.
I race on Forza motorsport 4 and I overseer On purpose to initiate a drift
B.
Getting kicked in the balls is funnier than Richard Hammond
Damn i saw that tree! Oversteer is indeed better.
Also perfect example as to not buy a Mustang. They have loaded up the internet with oversteer accidents.
dont speed up to 16 knots
Hey fellow Costa Concordia guy
yes
.
Attention to ordinary drivers: You wil never have to worry about this if your tires are ok and most importantly , you stay under the speed limits.
wet conditions amplify the effects of under/over steer. Specially icy roads. Many train for high speed driving using icy roads.
Because your going too fast. Turning requires slowing down
oversteer is a bitch... people often confuse the front wheels loosing traction as oversteer.. when they turn and go straight... in technically can be but in my mind it IS NOT
You can’t teach this stuff… what do you want to do with the car? Ok, do it. Crash, repeat.
mustang hahahahahahah
