Where Can I Find Track Maps ??

Ok, so I guess I would call that lift-oversteer.  I think that is really a way that people use to compensate for an ill-handling car, specifically a car that understeers.  I'd much rather see someone take the turn a little slower than lifting in the turn.

It might get the back end to move by lifting but you are unsettling the car in order to do so.   Think about the weight transfer (fore-aft), its:

Braking -- weight shifts forward

Turn -- weight shifts more middle

Lift to hit apex -- weight shifts forward

Accellerate -- weight shifts rear

It's just too much back and forth of the weight transfer.  The alternative of just taking it slower is much better -- you are shifting the weight forward, and then gradually bringing it back to rear as you exit the turn.

Of course I'm simplifying a little -- there is also lateral weight transfer.

Weight transfer is very important and is one of the things we all learn in DE.  If I were you I'd practice taking the turns where you understeer slower and then eventually looking to correct the understeer of the car through alignment, etc...  Don't change anything yet though -- driving fast with the understeer is important to learn also!

Are you still driving a Boxster?
