Surprised to see how deep I brake into the corner, and as the car starts breaking away and the tail starts coming out, I come off the brakes, give a quick flick of counter-steer (watch the front wheel), and get on the gas.

I'm not sure why the brake lights give a last quick flicker? Could indicate that I'm coming off the brakes gradually and barely have them on then? Dunno...

I also have no idea if this is a good or bad technique?
Works for me, but who knows?

I need someone to film me from behind.
I'll rephrase that - film my driving from behind
