That one just sucks. Most of the videos I've seen have been people trying to hot dog it, but that guy wasn't doing anything stupid. I feel bad for the driver/guy who owns the car.
dam but why didn;t he do anything about it. he just oversteered then when the back end came out he just held the wheel there. No effort at all to countersteer? i think he could have saved it but didn't know how.

Looks like he tried to correct it by counter steering but ran out of road and hit the grass. It was all over by then. He should of paid more attention to the blue WRX who almost lost it on the same turn.

that sucks... if the tail was to just swing out like that on an 4WD car.... maybe he dropped the throttle mid corner... b/c the whole way he was understeering... perhaps thought to drop throttle to put in some oversteer.

i still dont know how that car lost it?? and about the shift to reverse. i tried shift to reverse and all i get is a grinding noise. so i dunno how ppl actually in gear for reverse...
the car is lost because he hit the left front quater panel doing about 60 mph. it prob completely crushed it. meaning its totalled. and i haven't read the whole thread. but u can't **** into reverse while driving. even at like 2 mph. if the car is rolling backwards and u shift in to reverse it will grind.
