A co-worker of mine here at work has seen that now on a Mustang forum, and two different motorcycle forums.

It may be old news, but there are some big lessons to learn here.
If you watch the video carefully, see where the lead car is braking.
It is starting to brake well into turns. He gets away with it
on the first right hander, but on the second, does a stab mid corner,
drops a rear in the dirt, and the back end comes loose, and across the
road he goes.
DON'T BE BRAKING IN TURNS!!!
You should be braking BEFORE the turn; the only reason to be
on the brakes this deep is if you are trail-braking, having been
on the brakes the whole time from before turn in.
It's stupid to try to be fast on entry; it messes up the exit
line anyway. If you don't know the road, even smarter to
brake early, then accelerate when you are sure it's clear and
safe to do so.
Slow in, fast out -- gives the best times almost all the time.
I won't say anything else about doing this kind of driving when there is opposing
traffic.
Braking mid-turn is the sort of error that promotes the "excessively
tail happy" scuttlebut.
