GT86 Understeer

Hammond

[thesixteenthstudent]

Understeer: You get off the road. Oversteer: You get off the road. But in style.

[reepi]

Thanks for teaching me how to drift, I’m going to Japan now.

[hyperksaiki]

Cop: "You do know that drifting is illegal on this road."
Me: "Sorry sir i was *over steering* ."
Cop: *"THE FU-"*

[XandreUK]

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."

[QTL]

Audi driver turned damage off in settings

[stradale]

"Oversteer is best because you don't see the tree that kills you"

-Richard Hammond

[owneddiagonal]

Another solution is to simply remove the tree so you dont crash into it

[Channy]

I have oversteered a few times in my gt-86. Can confirm the back swang round, I crashed into a tree and died.

[xNTFXx]

Understeer: your car gets anxiety.
Oversteer: your car gets excited and pulls a Tokyo Drift.

[juliandrennan]

Understeer: Driver shits themselves
Oversteer: Passenger shits themselves​

[dankdrifter]

1:07 that car crashed but still didn't took much damage, I'm confused!

[demonrinzler]

the best way to escape oversteer is when eurobeat kicks in

[blue-ce]

That Audi bounced off the wall with way too little damage for that impact!

[nezutoch.]

Japan: "Did you know 'oversteer' translates to 'tofu delivery' in Japanese?"

[kalebisthestig]

had oversteer happen to me the other day for the first time...i aced it countersteered and got full control without crashing into a tree. thanks forza!

[BondTheOGYT]

Oversteer > Understeer

We all want that juicy drift 😉

[rihansadiq]

Understeer is when you hit the fence with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit it with the rear of the car.

[nub]

That's why I ride a donkey, too much science and danger just to get from point A to B.

[YuriYoshiosan]

2:44 "And when you learn how to perfectly control it, every corner, roundabout and T-junction is a potential celebration of going sideways"
"Heel and Toe downshifts"
"Aggressive weight transfer, also known as the Scandinavian flick"
"Pull the handbrake"

*It's called drifting, and it's art*

[caesar]

Average man: Oversteer
Me: Its a drift
