Fortunately I was able to quickly ‘catch’ the car by counter steering the car back into a straight line and no harm was done to anyone or anything. Big pucker factor though. When it gives up its grip, it’s immediate and unexpected.
Were you driving with stability control off or throttle input through a turn? Even on 3R in cold (CA so only high 30s to low 40s Jan-feb) I haven’t had that happen with stability on, sometimes downshifting and hard throttle the rear kicks out but ESC always corrects. ZL1 ESC and PTM seem great to me. Below freezing I would never drive on 3R
