man that is a vicious corner. I bet it gets a lot more people than those on a regular basis.

I can't imagine that corner simply being a 'tricky turn' it seems like there's black ice on that one section since it looks shiny and the way the cars suddenly lose traction.

I'm with sky on this one. It does seem weird that everything is fine until they hit that section. It kept bugging me but i never thought of black ice. Good call sky.

haha, funny stuff. I too wonder why the last guy doesn't seem to stay on his brakes, he could have avoided hitting the other person had he kept pressure on the brakes. Maybe he though "ohh NO, im sliding about, I better let go of the brake!!!" but didn't actually let go of it until he finished making a 180. Shows that most people can't really drive. They can get from point to point but once something unexpected happens, they are totally lost.

yeah that's the only explanation i can think of...that did NOT seem like a very tricky corner...even if there was ice (which it seemed like it was just wet...NO snow anywhere) i dont think i'd lose it that way

it seemed like most of the (the truck adn the sedan who hit the inside barrier) were just staying on the gas..i mean, no countersteer, looked as if they powered through thinking they'd just make it or something...

Those cars weren't going fast enough to spin out on any normal corner even if it was wet out. It's an up hill turn which makes it even less likely for the rear to slide out. And for the back end of a big truck like that to come around is rare.

I am putting money on it that there was oil or something on that corner. Wouldn't doubt if it was the cameraman and his buddies.
