Next time you get a chance, try this;

Left it go out about 10 degrees. Steer a little into the slide quickly while giving it a little more throttle, and then correct back and drive it out straight.

The goal of this approach is to increase grip onto the sliding rear wheels by adding throttle (which shifts weight (and thus, grip) rearward). If you're quick with your hands then it will look and feel like a controlled drift.

Like this...
