Oversteer; Rain drift; Rain Drift; Understeering; Oversteering; Under steer; Over steer; Understeer; Oversteer and understeer

oversteer

¦ verb (of a motor vehicle) turn more sharply than is desirable.

¦ noun the tendency of a motor vehicle to oversteer.

Understeer and oversteer

Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of a vehicle to steering. Oversteer is what occurs when a car turns (steers) by more than the amount commanded by the driver.

Lift-off oversteer

FORM OF OVERSTEER IN AUTOMOBILES

Lift off oversteer; Trailing-throttle oversteer; Snap-oversteer; Snap oversteer; Powersliding

Lift-off oversteer (also known as snap-oversteer, trailing-throttle oversteer, throttle off oversteer, or lift-throttle oversteer) is a form of oversteer in automobiles that occurs while cornering when closing the throttle causes a deceleration, causing the vertical load on the tires to shift from the rear to the front, in a process called load transfer. This decrease in vertical load on the rear tires causes a decrease in the lateral force they generate, so that their lateral acceleration (into the corner) is also decreased.

Understeer and oversteer

Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of a vehicle to steering. Oversteer is what occurs when a car turns (steers) by more than the amount commanded by the driver. Conversely, understeer is what occurs when a car steers less than the amount commanded by the driver.

Automotive engineers define understeer and oversteer based on changes in steering angle associated with changes in lateral acceleration over a sequence of steady-state circular turning tests. Car and motorsport enthusiasts often use the terminology more generally in magazines and blogs to describe vehicle response to steering in a variety of maneuvers.

Examples of use of oversteer

1. To correct an oversteer, you need to turn in the direction of the slide and accelerate.

2. My first lesson on the test track was how to counteract the oversteer.

3. Since then they‘ve averaged about 40 students a year, from teenagers with learner permits and lead feet to septuagenarians with a hankering to correct their oversteer.

4. An "oversteer," we learned, is the classic fishtail, when the rear tires lose their grip on the road, weight lurches forward, and the vehicle starts to slide, back end first.
