No matter how good any tyre or transmission system is, you can not overcome the laws of physics.  But it does take some serious provocation to get an RS4 out of shape - but collecting it all up again was his downfall.

Idiots like that really need the airbags disabling, and a fcukin great big spike placed on the steering wheel - he would only drive like that once - and would certainly remove himself from the gene pool.  :rolleyes:

My (late) mate did this in his Mini during the Mini Action Day back in 2000 with me in the car - the track was damp and he decided to try and beat the Honda Vtec-powered Clubman behind him on cold tyres on a sighting lap. The back end went left at Camp Corner, he caught it, then it went right, he caught that then we got a big tankslapper going on and hit the tyres. It all went quiet then there was "You alright Dave?" "Yeah... You alright Slick?" "Yeah... Oops!"

He was a total doughnut and actually drove home 220 miles like the photo, then got a reshell. Nutter.

Unfortunately he was killed in Motorbike accident in 2002 (riding too fast and hitting a car that had run a red light).



Keeping schtum. Mostly.

Lived fast and died young. Sad but I bet he enjoyed himself.
