Must have had his dccd to the rear because the rears were spinning. Should have launched on auto.

i can not believe they were racing those kind of cars on the street. Those cars look like track day type only cars.

i think you need to brush up on your understanding of DCCD, setting your DCCD to full open doesn't send more power to the rear.
