I'm not an all mighty drifter like bill, but you might be countering too soon. try waiting a smidget longer and giving a little more gas...

I had the same problem. I think your probably afraid of sliding off the road. Well I am sorta too... but the way I learned and started to progress was to not be so afraid. I'm not saying go do a suicide drift or anything (like 100mph braking drift on a 90* corner). But just go at it a bit more aggressively and see what it's like. You have to understand that if your going to drift, you WILL hit something eventually. I'm just luckier than most... I have had several close calls.

theres general rule of thumb in drifting

the longer you go with out hitting or breaking anything the more it adds up. so dont worry about hitting the little things here and there cause it will prevent something far more worse from happening. imo...

harsh snap back is caused by an open diff. once you have an LSD, your transitions are much smoother. ive got one
