You hydroplaned. Electronic aids can't help that, but you slowed down enough that you got grip again and saved it. I don't think this car does torque vectoring, it has a TORSEN diff.

IMHO electronic aids are awesome and save accidents every day. The TC and SC on this car is excellent and not rough or intrusive. I had a GenCoupe that had awful SC and TC that would make the car buck. The FRS is subtle and a few times has saved me from myself.
