Nothing like Showing off in a Rented Ferrari...until you wreck it

My 458 did not have much understeer at all.

When you're going around a downhill corner trying to take it at a speed that is not ideal, and let's face it this guy probably had never driven a Ferrari, that all equates to serious trouble (plus we don't know he even downshifted correctly).

Bad news all around.

All about the weight transfer under hard braking/panic then letting off throttle, not getting back on throttle.

On the track I have to modulate some cars on and off power to rotate or else you get crazy understeer (AWD cars primarily) or just cars with street tires that are overinflated and greasy

If he were to ride it out with throttle he wouldn't have plowed
