Can't work out what went wrong there - just seemed to go sideways.

Driver was remarkably quick to have the sense to let go of the wheel and get his feet off the pedals.

The external camera shows a man with a yellow flag out a good few seconds before the car properly looses it. Could it be an accident further up, he hits the brakes from a high speed and locks the rear?

I couldn't work out what happened either, having replayed it a few times. It does look like the rear got a bit unsettled over the crest there (there's a little double bounce and you hear the revs change in time with it), but apart from oil on the track, or a mechanical fault, I can't see what would cause it to step out like that.

Very harsh outcome, I thought.

at 0:28-0:29 you see him swap to the brake. His foot then goes from lit up to in shadow as he presses the brake. It locks up, *bang*

He braked because of the yellow flag. In his other vid, he explains that the marshall with the flag is too close to the corner so when you see the flag you are having to brake as you are turning in and its easy to unsettle the car

Yes, which caused him to crash. My previous comment mentions the marshall

Yup, it's that dcw mentality of "I have right of way and nothing can make me deviate"
100% avoidable accident.
I'd love to chat to him to try and understand that thought process!

Camron Noble has gone into the comments to defend himself "To confirm for everyone here he was found at fault by the insurances I wasn't looking in his direction I was looking down my exit as that is normal and at no point does anyone say hit him. I said idiot and my mate said who's this hero aimed at the person crossing the road."

Well, firstly admitting that is quite shocking and he should be taken off the road for his atrocious observation skills, regardless of the fact the van driver is at fault.

Secondly he was on the horn instead of the brakes as so many DCW throbbers do.
