Rep Power: 381 Nah, thats actually him realizing that he's going to over shoot the turn and deciding that it would be much smarter to go off track straight then to try and save the turn and end up going of track slideing sideways.... Which is a fun move if you want to try and roll the car over.
So, if you notice, he actually straightens up the car right before he leaves the track (smart move).

he probably just hit the throttle a little too much in the exit. They always say he turns off the electronics and without traction control that would be incredibly easy to do with 800 hp. He is a skilled driver but throttle modulation has to be difficult with that much to deal with. Once he straightened the back in place he could have tried fighting it a little, but it was probably too late going off like that was probably the best choice. I wonder what koenigsegg will say when that get that one back

thats the whole CCX section if anyone wanted to watch it. I would agree that downforce would help it, but they have to have their silly 250 mph.
And I like the speeding ticket of 242 mph I hadnt heard of that before.
