well i left the esp on in the first race...no chirp on wheels, he got the jump, but it was small...i powered him down, mashed the accelerator, pushed to tiptronic in third and left him behind for good, the torque kicked in and it was over red rover, i changed into 4th, kept the pedal down and just kept pulling away.![crazy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
2nd race, i turned off esp....pretty much exact same putcome, but i got the jump because he was trying too hard I think and missed the light...but blown away again,
