HeHe,

did you ever try to drive a rear wheel sports car with more than 500 PS on
grass?

Some month ago there was a video showing a 800 PS car jumping into the
water.
The driver did a small mistake while accelerating on a street and was not
able to stabilize the car.
The behavior was just as our cars do if the rear wheels lost the grip.
So for me our cars are ok, if we want them drive realistic.

But it is true, that a human driver without feeling the car yawing has no
chance to drive at the limits without a lot of training.

Cheers

Wolf-Dieter

To add to this, I must say that the cars are incredibly difficult to control
on the grass.. They can't be that difficult to dive on grass in reality!?
