I was impressed they got as far as they did. There were some things that should be a relatively easy fix, like stopping dead when another car crashed off the track. The one where it approached a turn a little hot, panicked, and locked up all four wheels might take a little doing. Not as dramatic but that reminded my of the Toyota's 'stability control' when I get playful on a dirt road. At least in this generation Toyota realized you might need to turn off traction and stability control.
