To prevent it, better suspension could have helped, maybe, but it was more of a conditions situation with my driving and the surface (wet with bumps) being primary factors. As for recovery, I’m good about not over-reacting; motorcycle riding has taught me that, how to alter my trajectory with small changes. I only let off the gas and tried to gently resist some of the movement, but in general, I let the car go straight until it gained more traction. This would have needed to change if I didn’t have plenty of space to exhaust. The car sorted the rest. Considering it was breaking individual tires, which I couldn’t do with my foot, I consider the results of the car to be beyond expert level. It is really rather spectacular.

are you running stock size wheels/tires or the ones mentioned in your build thread? [XXR 530 18x7.50 +38 BFG Sport Comp 235/40/18; XXR 530 18x8.75 +33 BFG SC 265/35/18]
do you think any of the suspension and other brace mods helped or hindered the recovery efforts?
car looks nice.

Do you not have the Big brake kit on your thread? That would absolutely help the effectiveness of the tcs system.
