Looks like it all started when he throttle lifted as his suspension was rebounding causing the rear to shimmy and he turned in casuing the car to spin.


HPDE wouldv'e helped him there.
This was his 3rd or 4th time doing it I think. He was told to keep traction control on. That may have had some to do with it. Considering the traction control on mustangs just basically slows the engine.

uhh.. why drive the car on a track with the trac control on? you're not going to learn anything and pull slower times.

Looking at the video again. It seems the driver overdrove the car attacking at corner at 10/10.

Slow in fast out.

Yes I watched the whole video. Just because he ran the fastest time doesn't mean he didn't get owned by a mistake and the wall.

an evo driver wouldn't hit the wall like that. and they'd pull a faster time...

besides. it's an oval track... I think the raw engine power was a huge factor in that time, not so much skill. :eh:
