Thanks for the lowdown on ESP there

I've got it and I'd rather have it than not. Although as you say it likes kicking in on slippery drain covers

Its mainly in the wet and at the exit of the bend, im probably putting the power down a little too early. The ST is actualy very controlable when the front does let go, no understeer at all.




I'm with you on this one! I've got no ESP and I do get quite a lot of wheelspin when on damp roads and putting the power on (pulling away and cornering). It doesn't take much for the inside wheel to start spinning on a corner and the car still maintains a good line and gives you enough time to ease off or correct your line.

You're only too fast for a corner when you don't make it to the other side
