Great video I loved it! It made me miss my old B7 even more.
I'm not sure if I'm just weird, but it had a good comedy element to it also. The highly complimentary commentary of the other participants, a certain word beginning with f dropped in for emphasis all jazzed up by a hint of 'Hot Fuzz'.

It's all about the co driver! I think I must be weird because even when I watch the vid I laugh at myself

Gtr is like (but not) a torsen 4wd in that it is mostly rwd and can transfer power to the front using electromagnetic clutches. It's one reason it's so effective is that it can react and predict much faster than a mechanical setup.
The issue is that there still some element of reactions. The rs4 with its permanent 4 wheel drive will be more stable in the wet.
I did Silverstone in the wet with the 211... Fecking miserable and very very slippy (didn't help was on semi slicks). Had to unbolt the seats and dry them next to the aga.
However in the sport 190 I found it not too bad whilst at a monsoon brands day. Maybe not getting soaked was part of the difference!
