I can't think of any good reason why the principal driver of a 400+ HP poinycar should not be able to keep wheelspin under control, and have the skill to "catch" it before everything does go to hell in a handbasket if it's allowed to go beyond "just a little". Same with cornering, particularly in the wet. If you're going to drive a car with this much performance potential, you owe it to yourself to learn how to drive it smoothly enough that you can feel the rear about to step out long enough before it actually does, to actually do the proper small correction.

This is where I start the slow clap....
