So as soon as it straightened up and the rears got some grip 5 grad launch straight across the road and fishtailing all over the place trying to catch it. Needless to say TC stays of now.

The problem is in the wet and trying to get 2000kg of car back on the straight and narrow can be quite a task if your not paying attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
