Dozy stbag only just missed that cyclist. Could have been messy.

Learning to drive in modern cars with all the artificial aids doesn't exactly teach basic skills or help with control of powerful cars despite all the clever electronics

There's a lot of morons on social media.

It's Lambeth bridge London, the clue is the Houses of Parliament to the right and the obelisk as he turned onto it. Oh and there are no bridges over rivers in Brighton.

It's Lambeth Bridge, London - travelling northbound.

Houses of Parliament are clearly visible to the right in the early frames.

I bet the wheels have spun up on the painted road lines there.

This was posted before - a couple of years ago I think....

Do Ferrari not have traction control ? Or did the plank turn it off ?

The latter by the look of it.

He also changed down to second with, presumably, a wide open throttle, which is an odd thing to do when he seemed to be happy riding the torque curve for some time before. Basically set the car up to do a long third gear pull, then rammed it into second causing high revs and high power to hit the rear wheels and what a shock they spun up.

If you keep your foot in there is only so much the computers can do for you.

This has a lot more power than my 430 and the back end will come out if I’m hard on the power in 2nd coming out of a corner.

Knowing the limitations of your car helps, knowing the limitations of your own driving talent helps even more.

Poor sod, hopefully lesson learned.

What a plonker. Shows how quickly it can go wrong - pleased it’s only his ego that’s hurt.

What a clown, this is exactly the sort of client that forces manufactures to nanny us with all the safety aids in the first place! All the gear and no idea.
