Epic understeer!

Review the videos and see how you just reef the wheel expecting the car to turn in, but it just turns into understeer. Also try to keep one hand locked to the wheel so you know where center is, your hands are very busy all over the steering wheel.

Also, is your car auto? You'll need to research if handbrake turns are possible with the auto (you need the center diff to disengage). In a manual you need to clutch in. This is probably why 'it didn't work'.

Captain Nighthawk: here's a vid I made a few years ago with in-car footage of me doing the same course as you.
Like Kato says, note the hands on the wheel.. and how they don't move. The vid should start at that section:
Motorkhana Practice 2010 - YouTube

Also, some LOLs here I think. Adam Bell suggested (no I didn't ask!) I give his 06 STI a try after my car decided to have its handbrake not work in the morning Adam probably won't make that mistake again. (ps: if you look out the left window I am actually doing a circle around markers, not just a random skid). Awesome fun and now my own car seems like shit which it is.
