+1. It happens because you lift your foot off the accelerator and push the clutch in. Weight on the front, the car will tighten up the turn (oversteer). When weight shifts towards the rear, the car will run wider (understeer). It all has to do with weight transfer. Same happens on my motorcycle at the race track. That's why I try to maintain a steady throttle through the middle of a turn, and never shift gears while turning hard.
