Default Re: What have you done to your fiesta lately

Yea, it'll brake the wheels that have lost traction, meaning your rear two tyres. It'll stop the tyres from going sideways and give you control back. In slight slip situations, yep it'll sort out the back, but since you're giving it the boot, there's not much it can really do other than drag the rear tyres around. Considering they're probably bald and aquaplaning, it doesn't really help the case.
ESC can only work within the constraints of physics.

Then again, the prescribed fix to oversteer in a FF car is to keep the boot in to bury the rear tyres for more rear grip.
