He accidentally pushed the "make the back end uncontrollable" button, eh?

Aston Martin
On a Rapide, you have to push the DSC button for four seconds, TWICE, to turn off traction. First touch is a track mode.

It's in the manual, folks.
 
See? Money can't buy the skills or common sense needed to operate a high powered FR.
 
That poor, poor car...it made such nice sounds, too.

Did the car belong to the driver? I couldn't quite make out enough of what he was saying to know.
 
You drive the car at that speed and turn the wheel with that speed and expect it to go where you asked it to. Even with traction control, I doubt it could've made that turn. Understeer; read about it.
 
They were pretty proud of what they've achieved even laughing about it.

Being an Aston Martin fan, it's shameful :grumpy:
 
I was expecting some massive oversteer-induced accident, but all I got was a rather boring overestimation of the car's cornering capabilities.

He's lucky he didn't get hung up on the barrier at that speed and send himself and his passenger rolling over it. Rich, foolish, and lucky.
