The tires have nothing to do with it, he had the LC on on the mantinetto in the Ferrari and then could not handle the torque steer.
Stupid? no. Inexperienced? yes

I wasn't saying the tires meant he couldn't do a burnout, just that he shouldn't, because they're expensive, and street tires and don't really need to be heated before they will grip.
I thought the traction control might have caused the car to behave like that, but hey, it's not like I've ever driven one.
What's LC? Mantinetto? It turns up no results on google.
Yep launch control and I am spelling it wrong but the mentinetto (?) is Ferarri's system for selecting driving mode.Originally posted by: Hyperlite

LC is launch control, dunno what mantinetto is. The car was a 360 Modena.

What a moron....if you see/feel yourself heading off the track, move your damn foot over to the brake and use the other leg you see down there to press the clutch pedal. Not that freaking hard.
