A brake system control for use in a vehicle with wheels, wheel brakes and a body, comprising the steps of: measuring a plurality of vehicle parameters; responsive to the measured parameters, determining at least a vehicle yaw rate, a vehicle slip angle, a desired yaw rate and a desired slip angle; responsive to the measured parameters, estimating a coefficient of adhesion between the vehicle wheels and a road surface; implementing a control responsive to the vehicle yaw rate and the desired yaw rate with a first authority and responsive to the vehicle slip angle and the desired slip angle with a second authority, wherein the first authority increases as the estimated coefficient of adhesion increases and decreases as the estimated coefficient of adhesion decreases; and controlling the wheel brakes responsive to the control to reduce a first difference between the vehicle yaw rate and the desired yaw rate and to reduce a second difference between the vehicle slip angle and the desired slip angle.
