Are cars like that difficult to handle or is that just a lack of experience of RWD and 500 plus bhp on bone dry tarmac ? both seemed to snap back the other way.
Ok, the correct answer is don't do it in the first place but assuming that you are doing that same thing, in the same circumstance, how would he have avoided that, less throttle, keeping his foot down ?
It seemed to change gear, would that have been a manual shift or the box doing it itself ? am guessing he would have turned the ESP off ? would have thought the Merc, even with it on would allow a bit of slip ?
Lift off oversteer. Once you're at a sufficient angle & speed no electronics are going to save you. Only remedy I think is experience (or not doing it in the first place).Ok, the correct answer is don't do it in the first place but assuming that you are doing that same thing, in the same circumstance, how would he have avoided that, less throttle, keeping his foot down ?

I'm quite willing to be told otherwise but I don't think the traction control or whatever in these sorts of cars is so severe that it would stop you doing something like this if you put your mind to it. Obviously if it's switched off all bets are off.
If the stability control was on the cars wouldn't have got that out of shape.
The Mercedes driver was still on the power until (just) after it went the other way, which I think was caused by him not anticipating how the change in camber (of the road) would affect his car while under power.

"by the time the police got there he had gone" That was reported in that stellar read, the Manchester Evening News. The same day, a member of the Police federation was complaining that GMP are too busy. Well they will be if they are bothering with stuff like that.

Unbelievable. What a bunch of bellends.As for the driving on the M42 & M6 - cars lacking front plates, undertaking cars, hanging out of an open sunroof to video the cars behind - how the hell did this bunch of knobs escape the attention of motorway plod?
The 'scenes' in Manchester were unreal. Is the good Lord A really that popular?
And the icing on the cake was him driving his car on the road whilst using a camcorder.....
Really? Isn't that a little bit dangerous????
I am ashamed to say that this utter knob lives in my hometown.
