You drive with ESP on?

@d3mps3j No ESP always off. It cost me a lot when I crashed after the rain had stopped in March this year as I lost the rear of the car when doing 175 kph, but on dry tarmac, always turn it off, the car has a very good handling and moves just enough to be fun to slide when you enter the corners :) New vids coming after this WE, we'll have 4 cars with the same hp output so the videos should be nice.

@yotah1 thanks for reply :)

I own Twingo RS133 too, and I'm impressed how well it handles.

I was asking, beacuse I haven't seen 'ESP off' light on your rpm gauge :)

@d3mps3j In May I was using for the first time the semi slicks tires on the car, it makes it much more grippy and easy to drive. However as I emptied completely the car from its interior, the rear end now is quite easy to get into a slide, which is fun too and actually helps steer the car when you enter the corners. Regarding the ESP light, the camera just doesn't catch the light because it's light red on white background, not enough contrast i guess.

Thanks :) Well the car does most of the job, especially with the Cup chassis, it's made for the track :)
