With oversteer you can keep the throttle buried & steer with it while getting the nose to the apex & powering out.

But I agree the R8 is the best handler out there at the moment. The videos I have seen have it oversteering while nicely, especially when Tiff drove it. I hear it can send up to 95% to the rear which is probably why it handles so well.
Use to rally the Mk2 Escort so probably you are correct, I know nothing.
