That's just painful 
It's amazing though eh, you'd have thought he would do something stupid before clicking on the link . . . only to see that he lost control for a split second, ouch!

What a wierd comment!
I say fair play to the man, thats exactly what he should be doing with the car, that is to say driving it at a track not staking it into a wall. Feel sorry for him tho, but looked too fast for that corner a bit in advance but its easy for me to say that from here and with the benefit of hindsight i guess.

Probably the bit where he seemed to just be getting faster and faster through those corners before finally being practically on the rear bumper on the Viper in front and THEN lost control
Also if you look closely, just before he loses it you can see that he would have been going off anyway. Because there a corner just above the crest that he was nowhere near close to making it round. Looks like he tried to correct his ****-poor racing line and then the rear stepped out from going light over the crest.
Judging the standard of driving on most track days I'd say that would be a great thing.
