Default Handling Question

I was on a spirited drive today with a few NSX guys. I noticed a couple of times after pressing through a corner, the car would like snap back into line when exiting the corner. It was though the suspension (or tires?) were fully loaded to the outside of the turn and then as I exited they released their energy towards the inside of the turn too suddenly and causing the rear of the car to seek the line it was now on. I was not off the throttle or using brakes, if fact I was accelerating out of the corner. Is this just an oversteer situation? It never seemed particularly dangerous but obviously I'm trying to learn from this experience. Does this indicate a "technique" problem, or just too much speed? Any ideas?

Pete

It just sounds like you're not being smooth enough. At least you're not snapping out of line.

We cant really tell from words.....we gotta be in the car.....but like nodisguise said, its either you are not smooth enough, or you did it perfectly. Ive been on a track (passenger) with some high end cars/drivers, and the car is supposed to launch into a straight line per say...like whip back, but not all the way, just paralled to the road....but we cant really tell from this....happens to me sometimes, nothing to worry about too much, just make sure the tail doesnt slip out
