Looks like a bad case of unintended acceleration to me. You could hear him hard on the brakes and the car just kept accelerating!

 

I hate to sound too harsh, but this is what happens when you get inexperienced drivers out on a track... this guy either fell asleep at the wheel or had no business being on a track. He could have saved things about 10 times before that final impact, beginning with actually braking for the corner to begin with. I hope he was uninjured and keeps off the track in the future until learning a little more.

He came in way too fast.
hard braking + hard cornering + heavy nose = massive understeer.
Maybe he should have used his emergency brakes too. Once he got on to the run off area, he lost all traction and ran straight into that pile of dirt. It's sad, but pretty damn funny at the same time.

Holy sheet.... what a maroon! When in doubt, slow it down... looks like there is little doubt that this was a first day on the track?

 

is that SNOW?!?!

and he is a total idiot IMO... he skided in a straight line!!! WTF

 

straight line, maybe so krazid, but I think he should get a few points for the dismount.

novice or not, who knows. remember the vette guy that we thought he was taking the wrong lines and got a little loose? he ended up being an experienced driver that suffered severe head injuries. could this be a similar case? no matter what, I'd hold back on my comments.

 

Man, that is wierd. I bet he is on the gas. cause, most of AWD car, when they lose control, full throttle gas and let the car sort it out. I have been to Audi Quattro driving school last year. (I suppose to go this year, but having problem with my brake). My intructor (who has the other BMW there in the weekend) and I all witness a S4 got out of trouble. It looks to me like he is on the way out to the outside of the track at pretty high speed. All the sudden, the car snapped back and kept going. I talked to the driver afterwards, he told me that just step on the gas and keep going. I think that is the case of this S4 driver that we all see in the video. Still, pretty dangerous stuff.

 

What in the heck? I think that guy was drunk or smoking some cigaweed.

 

Jason, you were kind. This guy was a freaking MORON!!!

I hope NONE of us ever sees as buttplug like this on a racetrack...! Man....!!!!
