Yes the Ring is. You won't believe it before you test it.

I would reccommend to all tourists to leave the ESP on, when driving there in the wet. That did save me from crashing several times.

ESP does have it's uses. What happened to this guy was oversteer, so quattro with it's nose heavy engine set-up wouldn't have encountered this problem.
You see M lovers, there is advantages for having something other than the prefect 50/50 weight balance.

Actually both, my previous S6 and current RS6 tend to go snap oversteer, when too much throttle is applied when exiting slippery bends. But sure, most times it rather understeers.

It's a good one for sure. It really is slippery out there when wet.. not a problem for RS cars though. :thumb:

Know it was only a dig at the BMW M owners. Our cars will oversteer when the provoked especially in the wet, but when they do it goes slower then a rwd car and far easier to control.
One thing I will say, when still and you apply full steering lock and then floor the throttle the car will not throw the tail, only understeer. To get it the oversteer you need to be moving a little before flooring it, then oversteer is for the taking. Must be something to do with Quattro before Haldex does it from still.
