That was either a case of

"do i lift?" "yes i lift" "do i put more power on?" "yes i put more power on" "do i lift?" "yes i frekking lift!" "ahhhhh crappppppppp!"

OR

a toe link decided to pop...

What's funny is the guy that commented saying "all he needed to do was lift" biggrin if only it was that black & white smile

I found the longer version of this and it looks as if its bad driving. He clearly didnt like that someone in a Mazda mx5 was keeping up with him and was driving beyond his ability.

His car gets out of shape a few times

"This guy's going so slow, I don't know why he is here ..."

"It's called a double apex because it's got two sets of ... tyres"

"He's not going to be pleased!"

... and then they take a photo of the damage, both smiling! I'd be pretty pissed off with myself if I did that!

I'd feel far too silly to post that on youtube!

confused looks like the same car and the same event to me. The first clip is just the last 30 odd seconds of the second one.

That's weird, when I opened the first link it took me to an S1 at Oulton Park now it goes to the Italian S2?!?! confused

Edited to add.

My mistake sorry, I was getting the three clips muddled up. I'm off to have a strong coffee to wake up.

Nope, youtube is fine. It is the L100NYY's head playing up.

Good to see my clip is entertaining!! My mate was gutted that he did that, and unsurprisingly he didn't really want it putting on youtube either! I hadn't noticed the double apex comment.. he's well aware what a double apex is , clearly there's more to this commentating lark than meets the eye.

At Oulton theres a little rise just after the corner, rear wheels lost traction, lack of concentration ... and they were passengers.

Being fair to the driver, from the looks of that vid there wasnt much notice the car was going to give like it did.

Must have been a fair bit of damp on the circuit (or am i being too fair?!!?)

Yes you are being too fair, that was some w@ank driving.

i'm sure the driver will agree with that!
