So the other day I was trying to impress a few friends of mine by "heating the tyres like they do in f1 and rally, something like this.

However, I made a fool of myself because the steering wheel can go very fast in one direction. however when I try to counter steer it almost locks for a second or two.

I tried for several times, I grabbed the steering wheel like Colin Mcrae did in the video and put all my body weight into the steering wheel but the thing didn't budge during counter steering.

Is this normal? Is my steering box broken? Is my pump not delivering enough fluid? Is the soft springs to blame? Or do I need to invest in a gym membership?
Please I need answers, so I can impress my friends with sick tyre warming skills. 

Thank you.

Does it have ESP?

Can you disable it?

Subaru Impreza has 50/50 torque split so easy to warm the rears I'd think as they are powered.

F1 cars have unpowered front tyres so harder to keep hot.

Is he just scrubbing new tyres not heating them?
