    Footage of my first very cautious attempts at power oversteer in my F12 on a very wet Silverstone race circuit earlier today. Had so much fun playing with in low grip conditions, love this car!

    Not really, was a really wet day so any significant throttle input mid corner would just result in traction control kicking in. I was being kind to my rear brakes :) And learning a bit about car control in the process.

    For first time ever on a track it could be even worse.

    Keep trying.





    Just kidding.

    Awesome seats.

    Understeer was no issue, was it?

    Great video! That looked like treading a fine line between the best fun ever and the biggest off ever!

    Great fun! Thanks for sharing. One suggestion: buckle the passenger seat belt. You don't want that metal toggle flying around- the seat belt mechanism should hold it in place. But better to know for sure that its secured.

    Thanks :) I was playing it safe, only fooled around in slow corners, was short shifting and looking for the "wet line" through faster sections. Got to love modern F1 tracks for this, plenty of space to experiment :)
