Looks unnatural. As in, something mechanical must have malfunctioned?

from the video:
Hang on for a wild ride... at the fastest section of Laguna Seca, a mechanical failure causes oil to be sprayed all over the engine bay, igniting a fireball and coating the rear tires with oil...

Oil was my first thought because that is just a gentle turn even at those speeds and his G meter reading wasn't really that much..... until the spin where he almost hit 2 Gs. Luckily he didn't go into a wall.

171 - were you the driver? I was there in an Ariel Atom. I'm curious what yours or the fastest 2-11 lap times were.
Another 2-11 had an identical incident in T10 earlier that weekend.
