All you need is a tiny bit of water and the place is a skating ring. You just give the throttle the tiniest feather touch and your fishtailing. Also the weight transfer from braking for the corners takes weight off the back and the tail flicks out not to mention spots where water pools on the road and you start aquaplaning.

Traction control does bugger all except scare the crap out of me because it changes what the car is doing. Really need to fix that road few too many people have died.
Just checking! Thats no probs. Just that if you did it in our streets near my place you would have ended up with a brick through your rear window as you 'fully drift' past!
