Ok so im going down the long down hill strait, come to a left/right chicane full speed. Sometimes the front will push upon entering and ill oversteer exiting (but thats not the problem). Still on the gas WOT i come up to a 180º hairpin left. Nail the brakes and hold upon entering inorder to keep the weight transfered to the front to try and get grip. I slowly start getting back on the gas about 1/4-1/3 the way through and hit about full throttle at the last half. Well sometimes it pushes so hard i have to get back off the gas inorder to make the turn. Sure i can get it to drift a little (keyword little) in the chicane, but I cant get it to oversteer at the end of the hairpin. Any suggestions?

Hmmmm.... sounds a bit like Midfield raceway ;)

anyway. Try carrying a little more speed into the corner and apexing later. instead of slamming on the brakes, apply them smoother and a (little) earlier. Get off the brakes then turn in, applying throttle before the apex...

Kinda vague, I know, but hopefully itll help a *little*.

No you guys, seriously. He's talking about a golf cart. Think about it, Mid-engine, rear wheel drive. He's my quasi-nomadic roomate, I'm not lying.

LOL, ok Float got me, yes its a golf cart, and thats the route i have to take to get to the gas pump. It handles pretty well on the cement cart paths, but on the gravel the front will get kinda loose.
