Yep looks like schwedenkreuz, he was sideways on the way into that corner so prob lost it upon turn in, if you go offline on that corner you don't want to be going mega fast (witness that Megane roll there recently) I can get to 135 just before that corner but you have to stab the brakes to shed some speed (must be online at those speeds there) before the hard braking area before Aremburg.
My guess is that he braked too late for the corner, turned in with a bit of lock on, back end went light, snapped side ways and boom ! if he hadn't over corrected he probably would have been ok, shame.

It is from the Netherlands, quite a well known car too with 600ish bhp and supra gearbox. We've spoken about this car in Glenn's topic before I think.

Panic lift while correcting due to a slight wiggle over the crest on corner entry I'd say. Schwedenkreuzs is a difficult and dangerous corner.
