Facts about the "off" then.

The "Off" happened at 2.47pm in the afternoon after a day of hooning and powersliding around the track for fun and filming in wet and dry. The press car had already covered 3000 miles on the PSS tyres before top gear took possession and slid it around the track all day.

The shot of the speedo shown as being at the time of the "Off" was shot over two hours earlier and the BBC have edited out the the lit DSC OFF light out.

In the actual drag race the bmw made it to the end safely well infront of the Golf.

So on very tired rear tyres at the end of a session Clarkson did a high speed run in pouring rain with standing water on an old runway with dsc off and spun off. Then some clever editing was used to make it look like the M135i lost it during a drag race and the BBC edited out the fact the car was being driven without DSC on.
