Brilliant move on turning off the ABS and expect the brakes to not lock up.

I mean look, going in that hot he was screwed. But I would have at least blipped the handbrake just to TRY and get the car around! It was a damn drifting event as it was!

Sorry, I don't buy it -- because I've had mine sideways with VDC off and nothing happens that isn't initiated by me.

There are a couple of ways to disable the VDC without loosing the ABS, I would not disable the ABS, clearly if this driver had ABS working the car wouldnt be wrecked.

Wow. I can't believe they set the track up like that. The cones are right along the curb and this is right after a straight.

I love how many backseat drivers there are on here / and how many of you jump to criticize.
