The main thing you need to work on is CONSISTENCY. You can't figure out what you are doing wrong because you aren't able to do things consistently, and figure out why the car is over-rotating.

If you are having trouble with throttle modulation, you need to do one of two things:

1) enter with a higher speed, use less angle. Or,
2) learn to do smaller donuts/figure 8s with left foot braking.

The left foot braking is NOT needed, however it's obvious you're not using throttle and weight transfer to your advantage.

I honestly think you need to find a good safe area, set up two cones, and learn figure 8s around them.

Something like this:
