Re: Beware of some "instructors"

Simply put... Panic, lift, spin, F__k!

He gives an unhappy grunt during his exit of 4 and then says "Damnit Dude... keep F__kin' up 4th gear!" after his upshift, so he's got bees buzzing in his head. He may also be keying off of the Porche in front of him, not really paying attention to his own limits and the limits of his own car when the "Oh S--t!" moment occurs. (What car is he driving? Don't know the interior?)

He really loses it early. You can hear tire squeal starting before the apex. The car is sideways through the apex. Big lift, yes... Slow hands, yes... He doesn't know or trust the compression of the uphill enough at the speed he's carrying to drive it in on his tires so the spin rolls him through on his side and roof instead. (I guess the chicane curbing is really what launched him over? Kind of hard to tell.) It looks like he rolled it through the chicane because he winds up in the grass to the inside.

I recognize the "F__k!" as being that universal instant moment of recognition, after the fact (while on your roof or in the tire wall:-), of the sequence of 4 or 5 compounding mistakes that you wish you'd recognized sooner and interrupted, saving all the crash damage you are now sitting in.. (We laugh with recognition)
