Understeer
언더스티어
This phenomenon occurs when the car understeers, meaning it turns less than the steering wheel angle would suggest, causing it to drift towards the outside of the corner. It primarily happens due to insufficient grip from the front tires, potentially leading to a failed cornering attempt or going off the track.

Frequently asked questions
How does a car behave when it understeers?
The front tyres do not turn the car as much as the driver intends, so the car tends to run wider toward the outside of the corner.
What causes understeer?
It can occur when the front tyres do not have enough grip or when factors such as vehicle balance, speed and tyre condition are not well matched.
