According to this videos it is some problem with control car on wet road.
Too much skidding on wet road.

I dont want to this happen in real life.

or its something with ESP (Electronic Stability Program )?

Before a Mercedes at me was lexus is 200.
And time on descent I have given to gas, as a result I drift 50 metres, the car is not subject to restoration, and at me fracture of clavicle.
After that to drift I concern with big apprehension and I try not to lead up to it.

There is no problem. Tiff Needel was trying to force the ML63 into a wet circle drift and ESP kept interfering with what he wanted to do messing it up, sending the ML into a straight line when Needel wants it to go sideways, and it gets jerky.

The way they designed the roundabout with the slick, wet surfaces for it's intended purpose (to do a wet drift) you'll highly unlikely see in real life as well.

If you want a more realistic idea on the how the ML 63 stability control handles in wet surface at higher speeds look at the first video at 2:55.

If the public roads were as wet and slippery as they were on the roundabout, it would be stupid to be going that fast or trying to force it into a powerslide anyway.

Yep. You are right. Tnx man you clever.

With this new systems, dont know at all where the car will skidding. It
is impossible to forsee.
Better not lead up car to drift.

Here is some info about ESP
Electronic Stability Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And there some criticism about this system to.

As for me i make my conclusions.
If to foresee where will drift car is impossible with all these ESP, that is better not to lead up car to drift.
