ya know, if he woulda just countered faster, he coulda pulled that sweet highspeed drift off.

take note drift guys. faster steering ratios save lives!

it whipped around faster than he thought it would, in my opinion. He definately should have let off the gas, and his wheel is still locked right when the car is straight with the track, but he is damn lucky

I think he would have saved it on street tires. It looks like he got it almost perpendicular to the track and the soft sidewall just flipped him.
