That Whistler ad music sounds like music from SIM City.

As for the driver, come on, that is a simple throttle oversteer that anyone should be able to correct.

And when you sit that far back, you don't have good control of your car, you are supposed to be able to rest the bottom of your wrists on top of the steering wheel without leaning forward from the seat. Basic HPDE 101.

Was that oversteer? Hard to tell. It looks like he just understeered into the barrier.

If it was the front of the car then I would say it's oversteer. Since it's the passenger side on a sweeping left hander, it looks like oversteer to me.

I call it 'idiotsteer'. he grossly over estimated his ability as a driver to maintain a 500+hp car.

I was surprised to see FIBER glass?!

Yeah, WTF is up with that? Fiber glass? Maybe it's like AJ said, nice body in a 2004 techonology, the Aston Martin's are.

it's better that he is laughing about it and not in the hospital, regardless of how stupid he was acting. Sometimes people underestimate their own control and things happen.
