Did it really understeer or was he simply showing off more cash than ability

Lol, just a crap driver in a fast car, his turn in point was way too early, the car in front turned in much later than he did, which should have given him a clue if he didn't know the road and if he did then he he should have known better.

More money than sense/ability, crap hands too, no surprise really.

Track days and driver training are worth their weight in gold.

Yep he's done a proper job on that one.

The pistonheads phrase of "all the gear and no idea" springs to mind.

The camera held up well by the looks of it though

A particularly incompetent driver who was stupid enough to be unable to think far enough ahead to avoid getting into such a situation and obviously did not understand the possibility of his putting the car in such a dangerous position on such a corner and nor did he possess the car control to save the eventual accident.

He may even have driven onto the loose surface due to lack of attention of course.

I reckon that's exactly what happened there.

Agreed though, the guy is still a tool with little to no experience or forward judgement!

After the crash, there is a red light flashing in the car.
That'll be the "Fail" warning light.

It definetely won't be the indicator repeater light, they hardly ever get used.

The bend does tighten mid way,looks like he didn't know this but he should of been paying attention to the yellow warning sign on the right hand side of road,indicating of a tight right hand bend ahead.
I see more and more young drivers now in high powered cars,and some of them drive like absolute *****.
**** knows who is paying for the insurance on some these cars they got.

Just as an example,coming home from work yesterday,i was waiting to pull out of a side road onto main two way road(30mph limit)A truck was indicating left to turn into the road i wanted to turn left out of,anyhow i thought well he's going to hold up traffic behind him while he's turning in,so i can pull out.Then i thought no i'll wait a second,because i had a sneaking suspicion that a car behind could not wait and come around the truck.Just then a blue car came flooring it from behind the truck onto the opposite side of the road,as the car came past it kind of slowed,i have the type of car that could be mistaken for a cop car, and the driver looked over at me,i looked at him and looked at the car.A high powered BMW with four young Asian lads in it.I just thought you ******* prat..

It was a decreasing radius bend and he turned in way too early, that and the lack of ability to read the road, the result was inevitable.
