The simulation and experimental verification of oversteer inducing manoeuvres are presented. A transient state of oversteering in a front-wheel drive car is initiated only by using steering wheel, throttle and brake inputs. The car’s motion is simulated with a single-track dynamic model with a parameterized input that sufficiently reproduces the behaviour of a front-wheel drive Peugeot 106 XSI (group N). The conclusions may be useful in better understanding complex driving techniques and vehicle dynamics that are not commonly described in basic elaborations.
