got nearly zero grip trying to get up an ice covered slight incline ..despite 4 powered wheels. On the visibly dry cement (but frickin cold since we got a lot of -25 to -30C) the car would be drift through all the corners in a seemingly slow motion. It was pretty wild yet fun in a devious way. My RWD BMW's (winter tires) didn't have issues with the incline or cornering.

Put winter tires on the R8 (or all seasons if you mild cold) and it'll be fine.
