The terms “understeer” and “oversteer” appear throughout this manual. These terms describe a particular handling characteristic of the car.
Understeer
Also known as “push.”
A car understeers when the front wheels do not grip enough and the rear tires grip too much. This results in a front end that slides too much rather
than turning. A car that understeers is easier to drive, but it is slower than a car that oversteers slightly.
Oversteer
Also known as “loose.”
A car oversteers when the front wheels grip too much and the rear tires do not grip enough. This results in a rear end that slides too much.
Excessive oversteer causes the rear tires to “break loose” allowing the car to spin out.
