xflow7 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It looks to me like the track is maybe downhill a bit and then falls away shortly after turn-in as you're pointing towards the apex which may have started the rear coming around a little. It then sounds to me like in addition to adding some opposite lock, the driver attempts to shift some weight to the rear with a prod of the throttle, but instead it just erodes rear grip further and at that point he's done for and just saws at the wheel until it's too late.
