Water sitting on the road right in your tyre line, chances are it was a hot day previously and rained which makes the surface really slippery or a truck spilled a little diesel down around the bend earlier.

Traction control only works under power on the driven wheels, ABS only works under braking, stability control only works on slight losses, once it goes big like that, Gods will for you to live kicks in. :D

Read the road better next time.

As we use to say in Rally, 9 out of 10 bends can be taken faster than you think they can, its that 1 out of 10 that you need to worry about.

You had your 1 out of 10......:)

I drive on that road every day too, 65km/h on corner entry in the wet seems a bit quick especially with tyres you're not intimately familiar with.

All the electronics in the world won't help you if you simply don't have enough traction to make the corner, and you should be driving around with more margin in hand.

Also, some of the bitumen on that road (plus where it joins the main road at the top of the hill) is REALLY polished and REALLY slippery in the wet.

TL;DR: Slow down, Fangio :)

Yep, absolutely agree.

I agree with that. :(

Man they had some crazy drivers in the 70's...

Some good cameras though!
