Just watch and ask, "How?"
Edited: Because the address has 2 "www's" in it, it messes up the address. Just click the last part.

This was on Real TV in America.
Apperently the greasy track conditions meant he locked it up, but the power of the engine, kept pushing the car along. Simply taking his foot off the brake would have helped, but in those situations you don't think!
I know I would of crapped it, if I'd just knocked over a marshall and was heading for a shop window!

Was the driver a punter or a 'rarri one, either way brown trousers all round
.
It definately looks like the steering wheel was disconnected from the road wheels
he was twirling like a child in a peddle cart to no avail 
. Didn't lock up the brakes either which begs the question why didn't it stop either

To me it looks like something breaks, he appears to have nearly full lock to the right wound on but the car goes straight on
Thats what understeer is. If your front wheels are slipping like that, you have to unwind lock until they grip rather than pile more on. You will then actually make the corner. Other alternative is to ease up on the throttle, although normally you'd probably do a bit of both.
You'd think someone with an F50 would know how to drive...
How can you tell there is no lock up - I can't see whether the wheels are going round or not.
paulbellis said:no lock up. You'd never get that much understeer in a mid-engined car at low speed.
Understeer at low speeds would be worse in a mid-engined car in the wet, as there is less weight over the front wheels.
Maybe there was oil or something on the track?
It doesn't look like something you'd want to fake
But the car doesn't seem to be going that fast, and no lock up. You'd never get that much understeer in a mid-engined car at low speed. Looks very suspicious to me...
Nah its perfectly possible at lowish speeds, I had a similar situation in my Elise and unwound lock, the front tucked in and I made the corner easily - it was only on an airfield during driver training but I'd have come off and hit a fence if I'd done what that guy did. It happened because I had the instructor in the car and I wanted to give it some welly
Probably similar to that guy trying to show off having a camera on him. Until I'd done some training I wouldn't have known what to do as it is completely counter-intuitive, but hey if you have a sports car its silly not to learn. He will also have been scrubbing some speed from the locked up wheels its just they won't have been gripping in a way that would cause the car to steer (get some nice flat spots though).
I saw that wrecked f50 in evo, that was pretty funny
