Default That doesn't seem like a turn you should loose ANY car on...

What was he trying to prove?

Wow, apparently he didn't learn anything from that first "moment". Bummer.

Default Looks and sounds like carrying too much speed into the corner, then backs off the

throttle mid-corner. At the very least, even if he wasn't going too quickly, he got off the gas at the worst spot, then didn't use the throttle to help straighten himself out.

Looks like he was trying to drift the car based on the earlier video of the partial spin. If he was trying to do a Finnish Flick, then he should have started far earlier in the corner, and he should have practiced at a venue w/o walls and other traffic.

Quattro = slow in, fast out.
