Not sure where this is, but an interesting lineup of cars. An EVO, a Gallardo Superleggera, a Lotus 7/Caterham type. Can't tell what the last car in the frame is. Almost looks like a Mini.

Ouch.

Looked like the driver did the right thing. Oversteered because they had to slow down to not rear-end another car, then drove strait off.

In the slow-mo replay, it looks like the Lambo bounces off the inside curb hard enough to unsettle the car. And he has his wipers on, so the course might have been wet as well.

I don't think he bounced off anything...

Looking again, looks more like he apexed early, then oversteered trying to correct it and totally lost it when he got two wheels onto the paint. If it was damp, that paint would have been slippery as heck.

Still controlled it strait off reasonably well.
