He was not going 150MPH, no way, unless those other cars were going about 100.

But DAMN good recovery!

it says in the video 150kph, which is closer to 80 or 90mph

Thanks, I didn't see that, 80-90 seems MUCh more realistic. I doubt most drivers could recover from an oil slick spin at that speed.

excellent chassis dynamics, and good tires, and a bit of luck behind the wheel... AWD had nothing to do with it unless he was on gas the whole time

It was a ok recovery. Each time he tried to fis the car to go straight he over turned way tooo much! The first one was good but after that the sliding slowed him down. He is lucky no cars were around or he was screwed.
