Sounds like you entered at too fast a speed, turned your steering wheel too quickly, or the camber of the road got to you.
These are just little things that you learn as you drive hard for a while.
Learning to judge the correct entry speed is important.
Being easy on the steering input is perhaps the most important thing you can learn.
And reading the camber of the road will prevent you from experiencing terminal understeer or abrupt snap oversteer.
Oh yeah, as [TOYROTA] mentioned, stepping off the throttle can be dangerous and will only work if your attack angle is right... And you're fast enough to correct the oversteer. Lift off and let the rear out, then ease the throttle back in to get your rear end grip back.
However, if you've got terminal understeer, you're going straight, no sideways momentum, so lifting off will push the weight to the front without the snap oversteer.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this happened on a roundabout...
