Track test -n- tune or large parking lot... better to start with cheap tires...

Practice getting loose and then pedal off to regain traction.... then learn how to half pedal the throttle to control a drift and get it back more gradually.

(And dont try getting loose in too low or too high a gear - too low = motor not happy, to high, no power to get loose )

Knowing how to purposely get loose will also keep the panic factor down when you get in a situation....

Knowing how to tame the rear saved my buns more times than i can count out on open track. from spinning out and facing other cars coming at me at about 90mph on a turn, to, instead recovering an oversteer under hard Gs and continue down the track.

sometimes, even letting go of the steering wheel and re-grabbing it lets your car track the oversteer faster than you in those situations... (situation specific)

Moral of the story,, like navy seals, practice all day, so that game day is second nature
