that was more driver timing than car balance. most all errors (guard rail crashes) were caused by drivers with no car control skill, where the most important facet is timing of sterring input.

think about all the body shops in the area! they are happy!

To me (amateur) it looks like entering the corner at too high speed and than lifting (oversteer reaction) or heavy understeer also caused by too high speed entering the corner, ot taking the inside of the corner too early.

Combination of everything - moreover, the corner really becomes off-camber once you go past the apex. Fools go in too quick, then lift off, then the camber change does the rest... Have driven it a thousand times... If you know what you are doing it is a great corner, if you don't - you become a YouTube hero...
