HES pathetic. He most likely slammed on the pedal and was too stupid to correct for torque steer. There's so many similar videos on YouTube. People who buy cars and never track it, and only go in straifht lines, and when the car starts losing control they panic and ALWAYS make it worse. This would have been so easy to correct even with "cold cup 2 tires". If you've tracked a 911 gt3, that car tends to have the rear end slip often, you need to correct it with opposite steer. But most ppl buying these cars don't know much of anything do they?

I've seen many videos of idiots buying brand new Ferraris and crashing it in the SAME way not even hours later. They tried to pose and suddenly mashed the pedal but are so stupid they're unaware of how wet the road is, they don't understand tire temperature, they don't understand sudden acceleration can make the car torque steer, and panic and make the situation WORSE. Some people should NOT be allowed to purchase cars unless they have track experience. It's so embarrassing and dumb

The best way to learn is to track it and race an inch or less behind another car in front of you.. You need to know when and how to brake or you'll hit the guy in front. 😉. Best of luck

Perhaps the driver was just trying to avoid a squirrel?

I can tell you they are not professional drivers by any means. Keep traction control on folks, for your safety and others.
A shitty driver will crash with or with out it.

But not everyone who shuts it off is trying to be a badass. There are VERY good reasons to disable T/C....I know of many high horsepower cars that have the T/C disabled within the tune itself. Without a doubt, any astute driver who does a lot of "spirited" driving realizes that they'll have more control and predictability with T/C off.

I never said everyone. Mostly the people I know.

More chances of getting in a wreck without TC. Definitely increases the probability. Regardless of how good a driver someone is, the TC will act much quicker than any human being behind the wheel.

I never said you did. Just making an obvious point. Regardless of how fast the T/C is, it'll cause accidents too....just sayin. Couple that with the fact that, when on the track, the fastest laps are almost always done with the T/C off.

I honestly doubt the idiot in the m3 Csl had Tc off. I doubt he even knows wtf Tc is much less that you have to hold it down to shut if off.

If he can't control torque steer or slams the throttle to pose without knowing the street/tire condition and more factors, he's too much or a stuoid idiot to have turned off Tc as well.

I don’t see the trunk damaged. They can get 25k back for that at least. 🙃

sorta sucks. There are people out there who are super jealous and would run into you for that reason. Like Shmee150 Mclaren senna by a trucker.
