It was posted and discussed on another thread a few days ago. Quite shocking to see a 488 spin out at ~30mph on a dry, straight road.

Road doesn't look particularly wet and it didn't sound as if he absolutely booted it so can only imagine it was TC off.
Lucky he didn't have a head on crash and write off there. Thought power was restricted in lower gears in the 488

I'm no expert driver but you see so many of this type of loss of control, how does any half experienced driver get into this situation,Mike

Clearly it's not a fine moment for the driver...

However, it was bitterly cold and the roads were slippy. Cars had been parked up for a couple of hours, so cold tires.

I was in my Vanquish, and even I broke traction just pulling out onto the main road with very little right foot.
