You have the makings of a Prost. ;-)  Driving is a science, and like any
science, you kind of work up to things in a controlled environment.  The
ones who understand the science of driving, are usually the ones that go
down in history as the really great drivers. :-)   For the guys who try to
figure out what over steer is and how it works, as they're going sideways,
well, class usually gets cut short for them. ;-)
