It almost looks like he was trying to make a winning pass and f'd up? Why no downshifting? Seems a bit odd but at least he's ok and he didn't take anyone else out.

If you watch my old thill video, exactly same thing happened on Brian Lock's Legacy, same turn, right in front of me, but he saved it, very quick corrections and went back to turn 9.
I think when that happened to Brian L, the whole in the wall was still there.

"Omg that was spectacular" lol. The guy actually said that. Just curious, what car was that?
Camaro. . . TPIS motor, dyno was about 698hp. . .

I'll probably hear back from him exactly what happened. . .

And if that wasn't bad enough, he gets billed for the damage to the wall...
