[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 163887, member: 3452"] DSC would've helped...I've played around with it, it would've provided a small safety net in either the entry or the exit. I agree it doesn't repel the law of physics and in some extreme cases when DSC kicks in, it might also induce some fishtailing or oversteer (when DSC tries to corrent understeer, it starts playing with the brakes and in some high-speed mid-corner situations, it can be rather disconcerting). All I'm saying that its hard for the car to snap-spin/oversteer like that especially if you take into consideration a staggered setup, 50:50 weight distrubution and the curb weight of the car. Actually, if the slip coefficient of the surface is equal, a staggered setup is likely to induce understeer... Either way it looks like maybe a) you entered the curve a little too fast, b) there was some oil run off in the bend or c) the condition of your tires was not optimal. Also you might want to do some high performance courses to better understand your car etc. GL with the repairs...and drive carefully! Remember your safety and the safety of other motorist come first.
