Why am I losing control while drifting?
I just got Mario Kart 8 and I'm trying to make use of drifting. I'm playing with the sport bike. Often drifting works fine for me and I get the turbo boost as I come out of the turn. However, sometimes I try to drift into a turn and the bike doesn't turn at all and the kart drives headlong into a wall. I have the steering wheel accessory and when this happens, I try desperately turning after hopping and I can't. Why does this happen sometimes? Am I hopping at the wrong time?
Thanks.

How do you regain control when drifting?
Steer into the skid. Whether you're hydroplaning on water or skidding on ice or gravel, it's usually a good idea to steer into the skid. That is, steer in the direction that the back of your vehicle is trying to go. In most cases, this is the best way to regain control of a vehicle.How do you steer when drifting?
Once the wheel starts to slip, the traction control system will cut the power to that wheel or in some more extreme cases apply the brakes to that specific wheel in order to slow it down and regain its grip to the road. This is why it is difficult to drift or to do burnouts with traction control activated.Man Loses Car's Control While Drifting and Ends Up Hitting Curb - 1112249
