No man! All the other guy in the BMW was trying to say is: BetterMakeWay
![Tongue](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/tongue.gif)
Anyway, that was indeed an amazing car control, and true that you simply cannot recover from a BMW in the same situation in the same way but you can really properly power slide a bimmer !
Now the question begs to be asked: Is Plato a better driver that Tiff? I love how Tiff drives and also his attitude, and i think his experience would have a word to say. He was in a way teaching Plato how to properly drift a car...

FWD cars are pretty easy to save from these extreme angles, you just mash the throttle and apply a little opposite lock and it pulls you out, still nicely done tho

Yup of course, but the vid is not on the highway in a low gear eh, hence I commented based on whats shown in the vid ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
Your point is very valid tho, I had a Ford Mondeo ST24 which I had a huge accident in, mainly because of that very reason, low gear cruising, aquaplaned, mashed the throttle and dropped a gear and forgot that I had TC still enabled, equaled no power and sithing off the road into a hedge at 60mph and rolling 3x...............with the TC off and in the correct gear I could take that car just as sideways as the vid no problem at all in the right conditions![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
Moral of the story, dont leave TC engaged at speed in an FWD car
(or dont aquaplane - delete as applicable)
