I have found myself going sideways a couple of times. I have done it at the same place; a straight road that is not flat. The rear tires break loose and the rear end will move to the right because the road is not flat. It happens really fast and with no warning.
I realized I needed to improve my driving skills and attended a racing school here in Sweden. After 2 incredibly fun days in a Radical I also got a racing license.
About one year ago I attended Bob Bondurant's Racing School for 4 days. It was 4 really tough days. The 2:nd day I was so tired that I had problems to get back to my motel. Sooo much to learn and you have to try to be concentrated the whole day. But it was also 4 really fun days.
Last summer I returned to the racing school here in Sweden. I wanted to see if I had improved during the 4 days at Bob Bondurant's Racing School. And I managed to cut my lap times quite a lot. I also managed to make a 360 degree turn but stayed on track.
Before I attended the racing school I found it hard to drive and at the same time keep an eye on everything like e.g. the gauges, especially the rpm. Driving a race car on a track means that it is so much more going on compared to driving a Cobra on the road. Today I feel much more relaxed and confident when I drive my Cobra.
To spinn is not bad as long as you stay on track and you know why. To be able to drive really fast you have to explore the limits. Both yours and the cars.
I can recommend attending a racing school. Bob Bondurant's is one but there are others. To ride with a skilled instructor that points out the difficulties and then will ride with you and give you feed back is invaluable.
One warning; driving a race car like e.g. a Radical on a track is highly addictive.
