Hi there, a few nights ago i was out with my friend in his car, coming home from town. I live pretty close to a motorway junction, and an exit off this particular junction has a set of lights, followed by a two lane stretch of road up a steepish hill. Now as this hill is off the motorway lots of people are hooning up it and racing. Now just before the hill begins there is a 30/40 degree left hander.
Anyhow, me and the friend were sat at the lights and this little boy racer came along side in his crappy peugeot 106, so we thought we should burn him from the lights which we did, then it came to the left hander, my friend kept his foot in it, which isnt that bad as its not that sharp. But then the rear end came out, slid round for about 2 seconds then it seemed as if the driver had controlled it.
It was however the traction control kicking in. i was amazed how good it was, we must have been doing at least 45-50, and for it to control a slide like that without much steering input was amazing.
i was just wondering how exactly it does this, is it using the brakes or power or what? oh well glad it was there, or i probably wouldnt be here lol
