I know, I couldn't believe it either. Here goes:

How do you guys deal with drifting too inward, I've been tring to figure out how to get myself to slide out a bit when I'm too close to the inside during a drift so that I don't hit the guardrail. Any ideas?
 
Too close to the inside? Try slamming on the brakes first of all; if your angle's not too bad you'll slide past the rail. If you can't do that, try accelerating hard which might get your back out more and thus give you an angle that you won't hit the rail with.
Or, you could combine the two by tapping the brakes then accelerating again, to try to give you a sharper angle which might let you miss the rail :D
The easiest way to deal with it is to get a better line initially, so that you don't get into this situation in the first place :P I'd concentrate on that rather then how to miss the inside :P
 
Well I mean in those big huge corners like the first one in SSR5, It doesn't much happen with any FR I would use but I'm using my 4WD ZZII
 
If I'm drifting too much in the inside of a corner, I would pull the emergency brake, hence EMERGENCY, and let the car roll out until I can get the car to roll out of the inside. By then, I can continue the drift until I get out of the corner.

For the ZZII, it's gonna be hard to get it back to drift once the driver does what I described above. Once you get the hang of it though, it gets to be a ritual if you get into that situation :)
