Anyone got an alternative link for the original video? Seems it has now been made private.

Whilst the guys driving is nothing short of terrible given it was a TF day, the quickest way to drive a FWD on track is to have oversteer on turn in.
That oversteer is generated by trail braking and/or having the car set up to have a loose rear end on turn-in. However, that's not what's happening in the video, he's simply going too fast for his ability.
I would have saved it but was scared as being outed as a weirdo again.
I think you're pretty safe
I would think so. You're already outed, so no extra harm to be done.

Is that normal to see that many accidents?
The video was multiple laps edited together into one full lap.
Tbh, I think people fail to see it's the worst of 29 laps, 29 laps is what, 4-5 hours of driving ?
Ignoring the silly yellow flag behaviour, I hardly think it's so bad.
Would you rather have him do stuff like that on the public road ? While not fast, what's wrong with fast in slow out for fun or making a mistake once in a while? Mind that I have no experience of driving on track ( bar karts, which I do quite often), but I think people exaggerate, so what that his corner technique is rubbish in that vid, it's just a compilation of the worst out of 29.

Technically speaking he is on a public road
One-way public road with no speed limit as it was described to me by an instructor when I was there long time ago.
Or 'the Isle of Man but with trees and Armco instead of houses and stone walls' as a British lad put it
