Wonder whether the traction was turned off? Water over paint mixed with many horses and a sliver of tyre rubber.........

Rain, white lines, low temperatures and a GranTurismo in Sport mode could be similar but without the ultimate mess that mid engined cars can get you in.

That's scary, he did not seam to be doing anything to induce that situation. Just goes to show these cars do bite.

i bet he started sliding and took his foot straight off the accelerator which induced the skid. That comentry was great!

Indeed Frank I just watched it again and it appears he over corrected the slide, making a mess of it.

If you ever find yourself in the same situation, a quick flick and don't take your foot off the gas completely.

In effect he doesn't know how to drive.......especially a high powered skittish beast like a 458!

Just looked up a translation of "Katso". Seems that it is a noun used to describe drivers who do not have enough talent to drive powerful cars in sub-optimal conditions with all the driver aids turned off.

Apparently, it is applicable to 88.2% of all Ferrari owners.

Ooops, just saw that my post appeared after yours despite being typed before - wasn't intended in any way to be related to yours, just banter!
Hope nothing bad came of the AMG spin. Lotta horses and torque in those beasts.

Its all banter, cant own italian cars without it!!

The spin was induced sort of, but its a scary beast especially as ive got it over 500hp now.

Easy to do with a heavy right foot and water after being over taken in the slip road by a Nissan. Tuscan takes no prisoners even in the dry.
