he's obviously used to driving that F1 car, but come on, it doesnt take that much common sense to take that turn slower in the land barge...

Holly flashbacks batman....
the interior shot was like a deja vu for me, the same way My friend totaled his Stage SUpercharged M3 when i was in a passenger seat.
60+mph in a 25 zone around a long turn, understeer, and it took like forever to hit the guard rail
Driver didn't look like he was very concerned though
And were was the helmet? he ain't no Top Gear employee...

Especially from the in-car view, he was way too hot coming into the corner - what the hell was he thinking?

I love playing the part where you can see he realizes he screwed up in slow motion. The expression on his face is priceless.

The better part is when he realizes that the only thing he can do is to make sure he doesn't soil his pants on the way over. Then the little groan - ooooaaahhh.

It's interesting that you can see how he lost traction going into the turn, straightened it out, then totally lost it.

Don't you determine your abilities by doing multiple laps in the car, slowly increasing your speed every time?

Well, it looks like the Taurus engine took no damage. Time to tow the car a few miles away from the track, call the police.

Probably to keep their underwear clean for when he rolled it - you know - prevent "spillage"...

Maybe they had the camera taped in place. That duct tape worked!

Looked like he might've saved it from rolling had he have done some corrective steering once he got into the dirt. If you look he kept the wheel all the way to the right the whole time, even turned it more to the right in the dirt. Wouldn't that make the car more likely to go sideways & roll?

Still no idea why no helmets, he's an F1 driver, he should be pretty aware of how to keep safe.
