So many in the comments saying this is not snap oversteer, it seems a lot of people have the wrong idea what snap oversteer is, and this is CLEARLY a text book example of snap oversteer. (Snap oversteer is when you loose grip in the rear and corrects it and it snaps back into place with such force and momentum that it sends you into often a 180 or 360 spin the other way).

i wish every person who talked about snap oversteer like it was some sort of mythical beast that is inherent to to mid engine cars had to surrender their mr2s to me

In these comments: people that don't know what snap oversteer is (it's not what happened in this vid)

He was kinda asking for it the way he was driving :D If he would've drove smoother and used all the track like POV car there would've been less change this to happen xd

Oh snap moments 😂

This is why mid-engines scare me. All that weight behind me.

why did he countersteer so aggressively, he barely spun

I removed my fuel tank and mounted a 12 gallon fuel cell in the front trunk, then relocated the battery to the area the fuel tank was, there is a 75% improvement in the way my 89 MR2 handles.

This was driver error, got loose on exit, over-corrected steering and lifted the throttle which threw the weight onto the front tires which were then pointed in the wrong direction.

You’re missing the entry points and apexes on most corners in the video which leads to wrong steering and throttle input almost each times you turn! Slow down and get some beginners course, you’ll see then how handsome, easy and fast that car is!

ofc its an mr2 lol

3 fucking minutes learn to crop

Snap oversteer doesn’t exist. The oversteer came on slowly and controllably. That was overcorrecting regular old oversteer. You can see his front tires steer well past straight and shoot the front end way past the point of correction. Then the car went into oversteer in the opposite direction, driver didn’t catch it, and they spun. Snap oversteer: Still a myth perpetuated by the uneducated. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe not a great idea to drive a mid engine short wheel base MR2 if your driving skills are low..

As soon as he hit grass it was over and the mid engine effect took over

Just bad driving. When it happens, you need to floor it, not close the throttle

No. Liftoff oversteer goes specifically into the turn.

*[Marks & Spencers advert music]* "This isn't just any snap oversteer. This is Toyota MR2 luxury snap oversteer..."

Bro had the 'Realistic' setting turned on for his steering 😭 shoulda kept it in 'Simulation'

Oh, snap!

I've lost control of a manual, and an automatic sw20. Keyboard warrior clan

That car shall henceforth be known as the Turbo Merry-Go-Round 😁

No drift no fun)

why did you add much of the video's length before the actual snap oversteer part?

Till now, I didn't realize the MR2 became well known (and kinda meme-ified) due to snap oversteer. I was kinda wondering why the MR2 is a bit more "gimmicky" (I don't know how to describe it in any other way) than any other MR car I've driven in Gran Turismo 5.

When I’d play Gran Turismo Sport, I would sometimes use snap oversteer to my advantage in turns. Especially S-shaped turns

looks like the top gear circuit in UK, is it ?

Easy for me to say but it looks like he was trying to do that, he was turning late and yanking on the wheel kind of hard. But thats easy for me to say, I wasn't in the car.

also you should lower the length dislike

u spin me right round

i got awd so when i get snap i’m fucked looooooool

Did he try to wave to him while he was trying a 1080* in a MR2🤣😂🤣🥲

I always here profusely by the MR2 community that it can be countered relatively easily if you know the car and know what you’re doing but dam, that snap is brutal! Seems like once it bites, it *really* bites, with little driver input can do.

It was spinning around like it was a video game

Wonder if it has an open diff or a worn out LSD. Seems like it unloaded the right rear as it drifted left, then snapped back hard when it caught traction again.

You should have slowed down immediately behind him rather than overtaking from the right HOPING for the best!

i think the tires gave up

Am I correct in assuming that if you've had experience with AWD sliding out behind you on slippery tyres, had the Normal snapback and correct, then you should be ok to correct this situation just .5 of a millisecond slower in reaction in Snapback?

Wow take a holy 3 minutes of some plan ass driving to show us what we came to see smh, I guess it the cost for the small peace of content

How do you like the link pnp compared to this?

I’m making a video on snap oversteer. Would it be cool with you if I used your video for the video I’m making? I will make sure to credit you if it’s okay.

Well, the main reason this car oversteered is because the steering wheel is on the wrong damn side of the car. No one noticed this?????

3:07 me driving road cars in gran turismo 7

This video could have been shorter we wanted to see the snap oversteer not your piece of shit driving skills

Like two grannies driving to bingo...boring and slow with terrible lines

ive never had mine snap yet, and i have a rev 1 which is meant to be worst for it haha

The downshifting with no rev match is painful...

I think he powered on too early, causing it to drift and when he felt it instead of punching the gas, he just let the car gain traction causing it to snip snap

That bitch spun MAD times, wtf?!
