[quote][i]Originally posted by J1M[/i] I gues it comes down to what people determine as "drifting" With Broster as my witness; I was approaching a roundabout at some speed in my Nova, I was heading straight across the roundabout, so I turned left to negotiate the island, then right whilst keeping my foot firmly down on the accelerator. The car began to understeer so I turned in a bit more, the back end then very gradually stepped out, I applied opposite lock so was pointing in one direction with the wheels pointing in the opposite direction and kept on the power, the back end came back in line and I continued in a forward direction with all wheels pointing in the same direction. For a split second I encountered oversteer. It was not caused by lifting off then putting the power down, which is refered to as lift-off oversteer. I'm not going to say "look I was drifting" because I believe drifting is something that can be controlled for a relatively long duration of time with the driver being able to determine exactly how much of an angle the car is at in relation to the corner.
