I'm looking for an elegant way to say it in English - is there an official term, used for example during race transmissions, or do I have to use something along the lines of "skidding off course"?
Thank you in advance.

Note from asker:
| You're right, of course (excuse the pun) - I followed the 和製英語 here for no good reason. Actually, in my translation I do use "track", but for some reason I wrote "course" in the question. |

Comment: "Thank you very much! I thought there might be some exotic term for it in racing jargon, but it turns out again that simple solutions are best :)"
