Why should that be? The speed is all down to how much the throttle is opened surely.

easier to make a mistake with 700hp though!

that being said the pista is absolutely crammed full of electronics and would be undrivable if it didn't

Road looks a tad greasy, easy to lose traction even with electronics

Especially if the rear tyres are as worn as they look on those photos yikes

TC not 100% safe in wet especially on those track type tyres in standing water. You wouldn't be taking liberties in a RR in those conditions let alone a Pista. There was a video of a GTR or turbo member on here he was travelling on dual average at 70mph-80mph way in similar conditions aquaplaned swapped ends and a write off. I've aquaplaned on track (again in the wet on worn tyres which was silly of me - was crossed up at 200mph + yikes).

There’s some further pictures doing the rounds on FB of the same incident. The tyres are very worn with little tread.
