I thought the Carrera GT wasn't equipped with traction control.

Perhaps Nine8Six has a valid point when he states "...authorities be enforcing a "PILOT" license requirement to be allowed to drive those super sport cars exactly."

I have read several stories about drivers, some with good credentials, loosing control of the CGT. I've also read that when the Ferrari Enzo was first released, there was a plaque on the dash that read "You are not Michael Schumacher".

I wouldn't have known one way or the other. (I doubt my local Porsche dealership would have allowed my sorry butt to so much as settle comfortably into the driver's seat, ignition off! )

Just going on what Clarkson said in the vid at roughly the 5:46 mark. The aforementioned "button of death"? He referred to it as TC.
