Looks violent!

When you say ESP off, you mean Traction Control? I found some references to the ESP system which indicated the steering angle is considered, I suppose to determine if the slide is oversteer. Do you think it kicked in, the way your head moves reminds me of how close I came to banging my head on the window when ESP switched in on me.

Yes, the ESP, ETC switch turned off... The snap-back is from an old trick we learned years ago during racing school. When the car breaks loose in the rear lightly loosen your grip on the wheel so it spins back and straightens itself then re-correct the angle of the car from there. If you look closely, you'll see the wheel spin freely beneath my hands as the car is straightening itself...

With the speed and the little screen its hard to see but I know what your saying.

Do you think the ESP kicked in? I did a little playing on the roads around the industrial estate where I work - nice and wet today - not convinced about ESP. With Traction Control on I wound it hard to do enough to make ESP operate, but with TC off ESP came in quite often. The roads are a little narrow so I had to be careful but the effect is quite "hand of God" like - forget the Japs using the Crossfire for drifting.
