Running out of talent is what it was though, he took the bend far too fast? He apparently has said it himself so technically he did run out of talent!
I can totally sympathise with the lad but he knew the risks and went for it so fair play i say!
Slow in, fast out isnt it? He just went...
Ive never done a track day but understand the physics of unbalancing a car and the general oversteer/understeer thing but i think its safe to say that entry speed was the factor in which he made the error (at a guess)

Unless ofcourse he was...
I always think these things must happen when people try and break records rather than just enjoy their car for what it is...
