Classic over-correction of the steering while in a drift and perhaps a little slow to react to it when it started.

Miles too much steering input because it was understeering at one point. When they start to come back the other way they always comes back real quick and if you have put in that much steering there is no way you can get out of it quick enough to stop the car either spinning or rolling.

Never race a racecar that needs you to let go of the steering wheel to get enough lock on the steering. Fast ratios are the thing and plenty of practice sliding around corners or on snow.

I know what you mean. Stay ahead of the wheel.

I read in my 'Big Book of how to Drag Race' that it's common for even experienced drivers to be caught out with over- correcting drifts, especially with low- pressure slicks in the rear. Apparently, the tyre wall leans over in the direction of the drift, making it feel as though the car's more offline than it really is. The driver snaps the car too far back in the other direction and Presto! you're into the barrier or on your lid.

Looks like he/ she walked away, which is the important thing. :D

Those skinny front tyres don't help either.
