All because Germany has such a good and advanced driving school. That's why he came away soo easy and scratch free

having a RWD car helps as well, i would say the car would have been history if it was FWD

Being an Audi, its either FWD or AWD, I dont remember any being RWD, I would suspect that he was driving one of the AWD ones, though i agree, he would have been history if it was Fwd

i don't know much about audi's, but as you say it might be AWD which would be easier to control than a RWD. i've had a RWD sideways at around 100k

I hit a patch where a 4 litre can of grease had dropped off a truck & this was on my bike going a round a sweeper. I think I only stayed up by the fact that it all did the 'slow-motion' thing & I used to slide around shitloads in my younger days. I also clenched the seat that hard it nearly needed reupholstering lol

thats the identical situation to coming off the harbour bridge heading north in the wet. Dont change down and boot it on the easy right hand curve lol

he spent a loonng time with that second left lock on, very nearly didn't get it back, cool calm and collected maybe but I bet his heart was clicking max

that was a Quattro B5 Audi A4, try that with your average CR-V driver in NZ and see what happens.

That comes down to driver skill more than type of car. Do some research on driver license testing in Germany ( or most EU countries for that matter) and then you will see how rediculously easy it is to get a license in NZ with NO training at all.

Sorry for the bump, found this in my bookmarks ; what a nice save!
He's very lucky, but there's definitely the element of driver skill in that situation.

Thanks for bumping, didn't see it 1st time around. Yes the driver strikes me as being an above average peddler.

You can control oversteer in a FWD ! Do tell! :D
Everytime I've tried in my Accord I just end up sliding.

A damn good driver.

haha, put your foot down and steer into the skid. Power on helps with the weight on each wheel, placing more weight on the rear wheels which give them more grip and it should come back into line.

Lol I have gone past 90 degrees in the old honda then come back, wheels spinning forwards with the car going backwards. FWD are dead easy in a slide just point and keep your foot NAILED to the floor.

Easy yes, intuitive no. FWD can be great fun on gravel with lift-off oversteer, but still not as much fun as RWD.

Maybe, but what moron drives at 150kph!

CR-V drivers aren't stupid enough to drive 150km/h in the wet.or any other time for that matter.
