+1.
I learned about snap oversteer in the same car with an added helping of disorientation at my first auto-x. I even bought extra sticky tires before the event convinced I'd be able to exploit the extra grip. Instead I entered the chicane at the end of the longest straight sideways and exited backwards still spinning and collecting cones all over the course eventually sitting in a cloud of expensive rubber dust.
The upside is that I got my first random orbital polisher to remove paint damage from almost every panel.
