Do you know why he spun out? Did he just throttle it into the corner too aggressively?

how embarassing.

looks like he may have let OFF the throttle and the rear end came around, but hard to see with the video camera moving around like that, and since you cannot see the driver's response...

That is a bit embarassing, especially in front of all those bimmers.

Wonder if the guy tried countersteering at all. Didn't seem like it.

Pretty cool how all those other sport's car drivers stopped/slowed down to see if you were all right. Looks like a coupla of them just barely missed adding to your mishap. Glad to see there wasn't any permanent damage, besides your ego, although you'll probably be taking grief from the others in you group for quite a while.

Honestly, it didn't really look like he did anything wrong at all.

That's what it looked like to me. Looked like he was closing rather quickly on the car in front of him and when he lifted, it came around.
