Floor it halfway round a tight roundabout and it should flash like a demented flashing thing ;D
Mind you, your attention might be more focused on the rear end if the traction is a little slow to react!

Aye  :o :o :o :o ;D ;D

Only if Mr Omegaman turns the system onf first :P

Did that with my first Omega on an icy mini roundabout ::) damn near messed myself ;D

I find it a well balanced system, not invasive, but definite enough to save embarrassment. Works well on snow/ice as well imho :y

Pretty much :y

Invented by the flight crew of this little mishap during the preflight checklist with regards to the deicing systems...

Nicely highlights the (very)  fine line between seeing, reading and thinking ::)

So to get the TC light to flash (to see if it works) I'd have to completely floor it from a stand still on a (dry) surface and less so on damp/wet surface... Sounds simple enough might try that one day (with someone else's Omega  ;D)
Or SC5s. Its impossible to pull away without tickling the TC.

Looks like a type of tyre going by a search on OOF which TB hasn't bonded well with by looks of it.

I think its a clumsy, crap system tbh.If driving in a spirited fashion,or in slippery conditions its best to turn it off and use the feel through your arse and respond accordingly with your right foot.
