Me last week, you this week I too went for a short squirt just now, down Galston Road through to Wisemen again. It definitely needs a lot of respect and/or driver improvement.

Ian, I saw your car down there on sat morning on my way through to Bendalong... Those hairpins are greasy, I was worried about ploughing into the guard rails on the way down the mtn.... MDM is always on and I have had a few moments in the wet but not scary enough to turn tc on .... My time will come, hopefully without tears....

You just have to expect it at every squeeze . Biggest issue with this car is that once you are in a roll you feel that you are under control, and all of the sudden, it bites you without warning.

Yep totally agree... You need to be ready for it before it comes round then quick to react...

if you can save the back end of a 1M in the wet with no traction control you should be racing in F1. The 1M is a dry weather car for sure.

If you want to play in the wet try it with the M button off. It's easier to modulate the throttle. In the wet the throttle with M on is a little too eager. I suspect that almost everyone runs with M on all the time and uses traction control as the the only variation.
