If racing is anything like dentistry, or even real life for that matter; we learn the most from our mistakes. So, how about we have a thread showing accidents that we've been in, so we can all discuss? One caveat; only vid's with you as the driver allowed.
As I don't have a vid of the one crash I've been in, how about someone stepping up to get it started?

I attended a Ferrari/Lambo/Maserati event at Summit Point last August and it was HOT and HUMID. I followed the written rules and wore long sleeves and pants all day for two hot days. Much to my surprise, the CI who did a ride-along with me to sign me off solo was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved t-shirt.
After that event, I bought a basic zip-up coverall (long sleeves and pants), and I put it on (over my shorts and t-shirt) only when my run group is on track.

I hate that one, took out your whole team, didn't it?
I hate those blue bushes, especially at that spot!
You did a whole lot better at Mosport, just saw it last night.
You guys run like a freight train.

Glad you liked the Mosport race. Nose to tail the whole race does make for some fun racing.
Check out the Watkins Glen race July 22nd at 2 PM EST. It ends better than the YouTube video

re: "crashes", "mistakes" & "screwups"
might I propose " unfavorable outcomes" instead? ...I think that gets closer to the truth in BOTH (driving & dentistry) disciplines ...(ie; they're not always "mistakes" or "screwups" - but they are unfavorable outcomes... )

I'm a pretendodontist...a gp limited to endo. I'll spare the perf photos. Don't want to scare any of our motorhead friends away from the dental office. After all root canals are like teenagers. All you hear about are the bad ones but most of them are terrific!

With practice, you'll learn that you can apply gentle throttle when the back end steps out to let the weight shift back and increase grip on the rear tires so the car does not spin.
Oh yeah, and my name is Marc, not Shaw.

Mike, I like the way that you grind the gears a little at the end of the video, just to show the car that you weren't happy with what it did.
