This is an oldie but he's driving either a Honda or Subaru. I always enjoy the narration.

I'm sorry but that is so funny to me.
He is purposly sliding the back of the car and the tires got too hot.
If that sounds wrong i'm sorry.

Anyone know which run group (how advanced) that was? How much experience did the driver have? Man, you gotta hate being in the position of the instructor having to explain to the CI how your student got into a rollover with you in the right hand seat instructing...

He was alone in the car.

So you mean that was Gawd's voice instructing him?
Who uttered the expletive- driver or The Devine One?

No doubt the rollover compromised the structure of the car. At the end of the video you can see the rest of the car flex relative to the camera, after the roll.. the roof elements begin to wobble as they have gone soft.

I am chicken.. I can just see me doing that on a track.. <shiver>

So the voice with the coaching in the first turn (lift to rotate the tail) was him talking to himself? I noticed a mic taped to the dash. Or at least it looks like a mic.
