countersteer, step on the clutch and pull the handbrake, not like your going to park but short 1 second pulls. ie, pull, release, pull, release, wait, pull. unse until you can feel rear end movement

also try to keep the revs up by blipping the throttle so when your nose points in direction of next corner, pop the clutch and counter steer into the next corner using a 'feint' motion, you will be sideways but if you can control it then no worries

not really the best thing to in a race application, but it will do a good job at removing understeer or initiating drift

the same technique without the handbrake is called a 'shift-lock' technique, where you use the gears and clutch to lock the lsd and break traction, but you would need a neutral entry to do this, not an under entry



You arnt going to have time to do this if your understeering off the road. The best thing to do is to back off the accelerator until you have traction then get back on the correct line before you accelerate again. I wouldnt try to "drift" my way out of understeer for 2 reasons. 1. You still have to wait for the front wheels to gain traction, in which case you could have coninued driving normally without loosing time sliding around. 2. On a racetrack (I hope you werent suggesting people try to drift out of understeer on public roads) I would much rather leave the track while going forward because going sideways into the sand can cause the car to roll.
