Use a firm but relaxed grip on the steering wheel, with your hands in the 9 and 3 o’clock positions. By always holding the wheel in the same position, you will know how much you’ve turned it and where straight ahead is. You will see how important this is when the car begins to spin, and you don’t know which way is straight ahead!
With the 9 and 3 grip you should be able to steer through almost every corner with out moving your hands from this position. This will result in smoother more controlled steering.
Remember: Every time the front tyres are at an angle to the road, they are scrubbing off speed!
