First thing I noticed as well. Pure driver error. Can't say I blame him. When the car starts pulling, you turn the wheel. If its your first wheelie, I can imagine it being a bit scary.

Not necessarily. Its a race car, a toy, not transportation. The mentality is different. If you're worried about wrecking the car/blowing the motor/whatever, then you can't give it everything. I stuffed the rally car hard a few months ago. My reaction was the opposite of what I expected. Its just a car, and it can be replaced/rebuilt. Crashing is part of racing. Every time I have wrecked I'm mad at myself first for screwing up. That kind of anger is silent. At least in my experience.
I bet he had plenty of choice words as things were going to hell though. You just can't hear it over the car.
