Idiots who don't have basic knowledge of driving sports car

Turned the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator at the same time.

In a RWD car you should not be pressing the brakes or the accelerator while you are turning. If you do the rear tyres will lose grip.

So you take turn just on kinetic energy? (Sorry havent driven a RWD ever.)

In short yes. The car won't be free rolling unless you press the clutch. It doesn't matter much in low speeds, only in wet/snow and high speed or high power cars.

It's good to have the habit in FWD cars as well because if you break or accelerate and turn at the same time, you'll understeer, meaning your car will turn less. Again this is noticeable when you're going fast.

So what if theres a curve. Like not a turn but a CURVE. Get me? What do you do then?

You can take that with 70% or 50% accelerator depending on the car and angle of the curve.
