Machines | Oversteer and Understeer Explained - Simpit Driving School
videos | at work | information | view | construction
This is our fourth episode in the Simpit Driving School. In this lesson we cover Oversteer and Understeer which are both conditions that can not only effect, but actually control the car. In this still a beginner level lesson we explain, the difference between the two and what a driver can do to overcome this handling characteristic. Each episode of the Simpit Driving School is a step in building our understanding of vehicle dynamics. In our last episode we talked about weight transfer and it is a big part of cornering. It is also a big part of over or understeer. We will follow this episode with more lessons getting increasingly more difficult over time.

thanks for this. This finally allowed to drive a proper high HP RWD car in Project Cars

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
-
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for a very professional and entertaining presentation.
-
GREAT explanation of the concepts...THANKS.

What game is that you use with a steering wheel?
-
y'all better put some respeck on that oversteer
-
Looks like the TSM logo lol

i understand how i wreaked my car now
it was raining and i lost traction in the middle of a roundabout and the car oversteered tward the inside of the turn, so i instictively countersteered but i over corrected and whats more took my foot off the gas.
the suddan deceleration was enough to cause a weight transfer to the front wheels while they were tuned too far to the left and a subsucant rapid return of traction, the car then shot to the left and right into the lane divider. -
What to do when a car oversteer due to more throttle
-
I have a doubt if i use too much of throttle in a corner n the back slips out shd i lift off the trottle or i shd use more throttle?
-
It is right to say that there is no car in its design where it tends to easily over or understeer but it is about how the driver drive it and when the car is being pushed to its limit then either condition will occur....

This series is fantastic!
-
can a fwd car experience oversteer?
-
Hey, We are designing a fuel efficient car for a competition during which our specification does not support the normal handling situation. However we need to go with the under steering or over steering one. We are in a dilemma to go with which one since our operating speed is about 30-40 km/hr and in a square like pitch? Viewing your video I think it is good to go with the oversteering than under steering one? Is it oK?

Jesus has given you a gift thank you
-
im used to oversteer lol, i cant bare understeer
-
Great video. I play F1 games and this will help me make the setup of the car. 😀

Very well presented!
Yes, I was "drifting" in a sense, a long time before it became popular! I used to LOVE driving down wide, open country dirt roads... sort of "dukes of hazzard" style...Even in my very first couple of years of driving!
And all of that "Playing around" made driving in icy and very wet conditions almost natural. I never became interested in real "Drifting" as a driving-sport. But I have many miles of experience in 'bad weather' driving, where my 'experience' paid big dividends. -
What's the first background song? searching for ages!
what is recommended wrt the clutch and/or brake during oversteer of a manual rwd vehicle? do they play any role?
thanks
