The problem is that while countersteering these animations could be too slow. An additional problem is the way too high steering sensitivity Is present while countersteering. It may help to recover a slide easier while driving, but it is a pain if you drift. So, instead of letting the steering work by itself, you have to force it in a way you dont have to in real.
I hope there will be atleast an option for the sensitivity and no "hidden" sensitivity aid. I personally think that a 900 degree steering animation just wont work for drifting ingame. In reality you have the intuation when you have to grab the wheel and when to let it slide. Its not possible in a game. That is why the shifting animations are also slower than the shifts. I think it is a thing that can get perfected for GT 7 or 8.
One thing a PS3 is good for is that G27 and Fanatec wheels can be purchased for a reasonable price.
