Apparently not...

Probably intentional. Some sporty RWD cars are like that. The TC will stop you from spinning, but not sliding a bit.

I suspect the problem is you can prevent them from spinning - but you won't get close to the other cars in terms of performance while doing that. (Which might seem very obvious in some ways heh).

Well he would have had it off for drag racing

Not on a wet road

And give him the benefit of doubt that he may have had it switched off on the first run by the seventh, he would have had it switched on knowing he had spun every other time

Or maybe it was all set up for comedic effect and isn't really a good reflection of the effectiveness of TC systems

Clarkey · 25 Mar 2019 at 10:33

People here really believe the Aston wasn't spun intentionally? Come on guys, this is show biz stuff.

Im wondering if I can get 4 of those cases and race the family lol.

That Lancia... ooof (not the Stratos). Made even JC look like a good driver LOL.

Oh my, the last section of that was constant laughter, it actually was hilarious! That poor old man haha! (You'll see).
Also, Richard Atwoods face when he got to drive that Porsche 917 again was touching, overall, one of the best episodes of this season!

Is this the final Episode?

Last one next week.

One of my faves this season, perfect mix of interest and entertainment.

MouthBoy · 29 Mar 2019 at 20:27

Really enjoyed that episode. Had my attention all the way through and my wife and I were in stitches with the last section. Very well done.

Rroff · 29 Mar 2019 at 20:31

Actually a reasonable episode though I felt with a bit of work they could have got 2 decent episodes out of it.

I'm hoping the sort of special next week is good as the premise sounds interesting.

The size of the gt2 compared to the 917 :eek:

They do nostalgia very well.

Nasher · 29 Mar 2019 at 23:16

That Stratos is how they should be making cars. Small, huge engine with loads of power, RWD, minimal unnecessary toys

Shadowness · 30 Mar 2019 at 08:53

That's how all cars should be made. Too much unnecessary crap on them these days.

Nasher · 30 Mar 2019 at 09:00

Yep. Aircon, radio/satnav, maybe TC so you don't kill yourself. That's it.
