All electronics have limits, it is not up to the hardware but the software that causes the problem. Anyway, when all the electronics have been breached, physics takes over, and that, can be a problem if the road is too narrow or congested.

Re: First GTR Total LOSS!!

well, the GTR i feel with its specs, needs a competent driver, not just any driver.

Maybe they should have special licence before being able to buy one. Complusory course or something, i don't know. Was it HK or China that had a GTR crash very recently as well?

Re: First GTR Total LOSS!!

Re: First GTR Total LOSS!!

Here's an example of how a 4wd car can lose traction during high speed maneuver.

Notice also the car its chasing after.

Re: First GTR Total LOSS!!

How come we all assume driver crashed out? Is it possible some kukujiao crash into the GTR instead?
