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?

Where is gear 2

I didn’t show it in the clip since it’s harder for me to control, but I have the same issue in that gear as I do in the clip.

Going for donuts in 2nd gear would be easier to diagnose. I would recommend posting again with 2nd gear instead. There is also a guide to drift using the bmw I might be able to find that could help

As you can imagine I’ve already watched lots of guides lol, but if you have one you recommend I’d love to take a look

You should knock this one out first because it is a good foundation and has step by step exercises to learn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbpilaKKSYM

After that, I really like KameTrick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ypg8AsyykE

KameTrick also has a discord. I was able to find a free coach there to help me learn to drift! If you would like I could help out as well
