Well, I use vehicle that can be easily oversteer. Would it be strange??? Correct me if I am wrong. Basiclly, most of you use understeer to lose the rear traction, right?
 
Wow.

Just Wow.

I can' think of something funny to say so I'll just say this.

Oversteer is the loss of traction at the rear wheels where the weight has shifted to the front.
Understeer is the loss of traction to the front wheels where the weight has shifted to the rear.

You cannot make the loss of traction in the front wheels affect the rear wheels unless heavy weight shifting is done, and this only occurs when the driver makes an error.
 
An car that has an understeering tendancy will be easier to control in a drift, but is much harder to actually drift.

A car that tends to oversteer will be easier to initiate a drift with but will be harder to control.

I think that's what you meant......at least I hope.....:nervous:

It's all personal preference. I prefer looser cars.
 
Yes, that's what I was trying to say.

I use car that tend to oversteer. So, it is normal???

Clarify your question, because right now I'm not sure if you're talking about oversteer or understeer.

But, it doesn't matter if the way you drift is "normal." As long as you're getting sideways it's okay. 👍
