========================
I'll bet good money I can get your Tracer to swing it's tail around.

If you've got adjustable rear shocks, adjust 'em. If you can, get a
larger rear bar or a rear bar period. If you've got rear tires, adjust
the pressure higher (above 40 psi) or lower (30 psi and below) to make
the car oversteer slightly.
Tire pressure adjustment alone can usually make almost any FWD car have
a slight oversteering attitude.
See you on course.
