We’ve been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with Audi’s new R8 this year, and while we’ve been impressed with the ridiculous amounts of grip on offer whatever the conditions, there is a limit to what you can get away with in the wet. Particularly if you’re driving on a sopping wet Nordschleife like this guy.

Fortunately, after a slide and a violent snap he’s still just about on the tarmac, avoiding what would have been one of the most expensive touristenfahrten crashes we’ve seen this year. As for the state of his underpants, we can only speculate…

Traction control saved him big time.

It does but it can send more torque to the front wheels if needed
