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. 1. this is true, but if the rear is pointing in the correct direction to accelerate it will HELP eliminate understeer and possible reshaping of contact patch to gain traction. the whole point of this thread is not to 'slow down without using brakes and waiting for traction' everyone knows this. ed asked for a faster way to eliminate understeer than 'waiting' to gain traction or to go off. 2. dont be faceitous, its up to each person to where they use any of the aforementioned techniques. i dont "drift" on the street simply because i dont wanna smash my car or anyone else/s. but its up to each person to make their own decision. so get off the high moral horse. depending on how much speed your carrying is how you would use the techniques mentioned. if there is sandpit/gravel next to the track, then general race logic says go into it head on to avoid a side roll. i would imagine that if its SO late where your going off the track then you arent going to recover from it. simply go off the track and wait for cars to pass. its all about shifting the excessive 'weight' off the front of the car thats causing the understeer. tapping the brakes isnt going to help simply because its quite a sudden shift in weight towards the front, worsening the understeer.
