ESP was off but then I usually have it off, otherwise all I get is a flashing light whenever I try and put power down. However it is over sensitive and reacts too soon... for example in the dry:
ESP ON: Pulling away hard in 1st two gears = Almost instant power cut in first, and in second whenthe boost comes in at around 3 / 3.5k full power cut, which gets returned on half to 3/4 boost at around 5k.... useless. Sometimes you get the d-d-d-d-d-d-d with the wheels as the power comes back in and suddenly turns them, causing slip and a then you get a cut again (its really quite comical).
ESP OFF: Pulling away hard in 1st two gears = The driver has full control, and steady application of the throttle allows no slipping but a clean pull away even though the ESP if on would have thought it was too much. Burying the throttle to the floor would usually also produce no slip, but can sometimes cause ever so slight wheel spin in 1st. Not enough to warrant any sort of ESP activiation though.
I wonder whether the ESP would have saved me then. What would it to when the back started to turn - would it cadence brake on different wheels to stabilise it? I had ESP cut in on me in Spring when I was going round a very wet very adverse cambered RAB. This was me testing out th limits of the car mind you, and seeing how the ESP responded. I remember it activiating at a fairly sensible speed mid RAB andit felt/sounded very violent, like a stomping of ABS.
