You have to learn how to drive awd cuz its totally different. Actually getting on the throttle will increase understeer while lifting off the throttle will get the back light and slide it out....
Driving an AWD car is no different than a FWD or RWD. The line is about the same, you still have 4 contact patches and a traction circle and weight transfer to manage.
The on track behavior that you're describing applies to any car and pretty typical of how a FWD car operates - you're understeering, and then when you lift off the gas all the weight transfers to the front and away from the rear - leaving the rear with no grip - and it oversteers. No load on the tire = no grip.
Either way, Dave is a good driver on track and he'd have no problem with FWD/AWD.
