Which one are you using mate?
Are you spinning as soon as your sideways? If so, faster countersteer.
Once you have caught the slide, you should be able to hold full throttle and control the slide with the steering. It's just the Inital catch that needs to be quick.
I tend to feint at full throttle, then as soon as the back starts sliding, 'blip' the throttle off, then straight back on again, whilst simultaneously getting some counter steering on, this should land you into a nice balanced slide.
If your okay catching the slide, and your spinning mid corner, you just need to know when to 'blip off' the throttle, but staying off too long without reducing the counter steer will result in snap back.
Snap back should be more of an issue than spinning with the understeery setups.
Try this to get you comfortable with countering.
Come to a full stop, accelerate off with full wheelspin. Immediately bang second, and just nudge the steering to the left or right, then as the back goes, keep it floored, but countersteer immediately once you feel the back go sideways.
You should get a feel for how fast, and how much to countersteer, and then what the wheel feels like when you have caught it, and now the balancing act begins.
Ideally, you want your front wheels to always be pointing in your intended direction of travel, if your spinning with these low power cars, it can only be due to steering input being too slow. I can stay full throttle once the drift is balanced and constant.
Streets of willow skid pan is a good place to start.
Master actually sliding before trying to add any major speed.
Good luck and keep practicing!
