He was consistently off line in that corner, way wide of the apex and getting wider on successive laps. Wonder why he didn't correct his line after the first lap when it was clear he was running out of road at the exit?

I am not saying this to be rude or mean, but would you consider this driver error. 1. for not doing a test session or practice session with the car before racing it and 2. for not giving up once it went onto the grass.
Again not trying to be mean but i am trying to see if this could have been avoided and learn from it.

ok after reviewing the video, why didnt the driver let the guy behind him pass, the driver of the charger was definitely faster and smoother on the turns, the vette look like he was missing apexes and sort of out of control. Correct if i am wrong but i guess he just pushed it to hard when he knew someone was behind him.

It's hard to find the apex when your eyes are glued to the rear view mirror.
