I reposted this on fiestastoc and someone who claims to know of the guy through a 3rd party says he's already crashed twice there this year alone.

Not surprising, he came very close to crashing several times.
A bloke who needs a slap
he's probs done better than i would on that track but i don't claim to be a great driver (my unfortunately written of Civic Type-r testament to that fact). I just don't get why he's struggling around some of the corners that he is doing similar speed to the others of the same looking car., the others seemt o be smooth he seems to almost be trying to get a drift going but every time looses control and by sheer luck doesnt hit anyone else or the barriers.
he's racing on the track and right up other peoples arses, yellow flag means he can overtake the faster cars i think.
Smoking whilst driving on a track? i hoped he span then an dropped his fag on his ball sack to stop him breeding.

I thought the RS250 was supposed to be one of the best handling cars around. That many oversteer-understeer moments just demonstrates what a poor driver he is.
I expect the passenger seat is slightly brown especially at around 4:20.

Of the same cells I suspect. They learn the hard way.

Doesn't surprise me
Aye, well you have to be a pretty bad driver to constaly have a FWD drive car go tail happy, a really bad drive, imagine him in a RWD, he would probably have topped himself by now.

All I can think is he's running ling long ditchfinder pro mk3 on the back the amount of times he looses it. How do you even get oversteer in a front wheel drive car? I don't get anything like that in my previous car which was rear engined/rwd.
It's not difficult if you want to provoke it. Lift off oversteer, left foot braking or even the handbrake will get you sideways very quickly, and around a circuit rather slowly.
Easy - fast in, turn, lift off throttle.

Weight transfer on braking can induce oversteer if you really push, plus run over a little bump to unsettle it maybe. Bad brake bias could do it, or deliberately as some pro Alfa driver I remember
this is not who I was thinking of, posting anyway

The old Clio cup cars are Palmer were very easy to do this with. Cornering was all about inertia and trail braking then using the power to correct if they did step out. Although my instructor was loving my lift off oversteer ability so we just pratted about every corner haha.
This guy is just braking as late as he can and turning as hard as he can which will only ever promite this behavour in a quick front heavy FWD car. It's easily done. But it gets old quick and it's really not going to end well.
In fact, I remember this old Drivers Republic vid when Chris Harris had hair that explains FWD handling well:
Shame the quality is pap.
