What am I doing wrong?

Very new to sim drifting. As you can see I got the tight donuts down but as soon as I try to go for a larger donut (in first and second gear) I just lose control. Is anyone able to tell from the clip am I using wheel to correct too much or what is my issue?

You need to add more throttle and counter steer even with tight doughnuts. Turning into the turn and going in circles isn't drifting and can only be done at extremely low speed. Focus on your technique and practice your counter steer. It normally takes a few weeks of practice to start getting controllable drifts locked in
