That was me in the Miata at Seattle (for some reason I just couldn't get the car to flow there). The Opel is *very* pushy if you're too fast into the corner, and it doesn't gain front end grip/lose rear end grip under braking (it's a quirk of the GT4 physics engine) it just pushes more.
I've found that the best way to get the car to rotate is to lift mid-corner. Yes, braking should shift the weight even more dramatically than just lifting, but for some reason the GT4 physics treats braking differently than trailing throttle oversteer.
Also, the e-brake will save you in a pinch and really get the backend to come around with just a tiny little tap. However, the game "disengages" the drive train when you pop the e-brake, so if you use it, there's a noticable delay once you try to get on the throttle before the car starts accelerating again.
