My first thought was I had turned off VDC only to realize it was on, I had forgotten to turn it off, like usual.
I thought the VDC would not allow you to break loose like this (giving it too much throttle) while in a turn. It has cut my throttle before I could break loose. Are my new stiffer sways screwing with VDC?
I realize whatever happens it is my fault. I am driving. I just thought the training wheels that are the VDC, would have deployed.

vdc has a certain reaction time to respond. it is not immediate. on the dry it is no big deal, and fast enough. but driving on the wet or even snowy roads is a different issue. the slow response time is noticeable and the rear of the car can swing around by a surprising amount before the vdc activates.
