Losing control at 150kph on the highway

[accordaffair]

And recovering from it! Nicely done, it could've ended much worse and I'm surprised it didn't honestly. Getting that kind of angle in gt4 usually means you're going into the wall.

that was just luck luck luck. but good save

and its an audi so he prolly had the aid of stability control

how he was only going like 90 .. hmm

I would say AWD saved his ass. Anyway its 90 ish mph as mentioned. POster of the video is retarded if it was 150 he wouldnt have time to react like that.

I was thinking the same thing about it being an audi, was it an all wheel drive model? And did it have electronic stability control? Maybe someone else can tell what model it is from the interior.

I've lost control of my car several times and I can imagine how he felt after that.

Yeah thats why I put the correct "kph" in my title

[Ilikebigbutts]

i dont think stability control had as much of a role in this as the guys reaction, he pretty much knew what to do and he did it fast.

wow, lucky guy

depending on the driveline of that car theres different techniques to regaining control...

if that was a awd car, then it would be much easier to regain control....

having abs does help too.

Last thing I would want to touch in that condition would be the brakes. That would be face first in the guardrail. I would at least try to bump the accelerator where its kinda straight.

i woulda just have spun that bitch out instead of fishtailing.

Audi's use to have this problem. Because they were AWD, they use to run heavy rear sway bars to compensate for understeer, this obviously caused snap oversteer. Now Audi compensates for understeer using damping curves I think.

Depends where and when you touch the brakes, But generally yes touching the brakes is a no no, but also a very common action for a lot of drivers.
Also coming off the throttle suddenly can be a bad thing (on a FWD)
I had the back come out on me once on the Accord, And its one thing about the Accord I don't like - When the back goes, It usually keeeepppps on going.
A little bit of throttle and countersteer fixes the situation though

Looks more like 150 kph.

I wonder if he will recover from the slick in his shorts.
