what did just happened?
So i was at the track on following conditions:
Outside temperature around 9C, track surface slippery and damp, car is M4 comp on stock 20inch wheels 666m with Michelin PSS tires, car on MDM, speed before right turn around 110 km/h, 3rd gear on manual(car is auto), when i started turning in for the right turn i feel that dsc brakes and car starts to oversteer. What did i do wrong? after that i've tried to accelerate in the turn and the car will not become so unstable. |

Were you on the brakes when you initiated the turn? Given the conditions, your traction was already limited, so perhaps you were trailbraking too much relative to the available grip, resulting in the oversteer.

Looks like rear end was unloaded and the steering angle was too much for the speed you were carrying? Try to be on maintenance throttle earlier.
Had a similar oversteer situation in my E36 M3 with no traction control. I think i wasnt early enough on the throttle maybe. Also think my rear tires may have been overheated, it was the 9 or 10th lap of the session. Also using PSS tires. |

I think probably just relatively cold temps, tyres not working properly and as a result low grip. Temps <10C it is hard to get the tyres up to satisfactory operating temps

Classic case of trailing throttle oversteer followed by insufficient and too slow counter-steer.

You kinda diagnosed it yourself... slippery and wet. In those conditions you have to drive entirely different and give the car a chance to settle between inputs.
