Whoa. Serious observation: I wonder whethe the driver was dizzy from the roundabout, and overreacted on his steering inputs as a result?
It's idiots like that who push up the premiums for all of us.Ouch, I wonder how much his insurance has gone up after that one.
There is a full video somewhere about but mostly irrelevant to this incident and more about the meet itself. For those who are Google challenged (I class myself as one of these), an abbreviated video is here: -

Makes a change from Mercedes getting the bad publicity I suppose...
Glad I left early Peter, missed all this action.
I've seen it a couple of times where the driver isn't expecting the traction control to "help" them and as a result they've narrowly avoided an accident. - It's normally when accelerating hard such that you get oversteer; the driver steers in to it to correct the slide, but the traction control applies the brakes on the other side to straighten the car.In one of the vids, the 'driver' (I use the word loosely) appears to be blaming the car. That suggests that he has no comprehension of his own lack of ability.

Is that what the driver was claiming, because it's plausible if so... but they should have turned the traction control off if they wanted to do a theatrical power slide down the side road.
Is there likely to be any quibble with the insurance paying out given the footage - or would it still be considered an "accident"?
