How many of the examples in the video were exactly the straight line wheels losing traction resulting in fishtailing oversteer? One was even on the drag strip.

I remember seeing the one of the mustang with the side caved in - that was as I recall exiting a C&C event. It may have been the same one where the rear end broke loose and fishtailed into the right side curb with lots of bystanders. It was an incredible piece of luck the car didn't jump the curb and wipe out a bunch of civilians.

Also lots of examples of people making relatively uneventful-looking left hand turns when the rear end breaks loose and the resulting oversteer. Most of them weren't what I consider "racing". Both my Cobra and GT would do this exiting my subdivision before the tires were warmed up. Something I could do every day of the week with my regular cars didn't work with the tires on the sports cars... You learn... Like Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations..."

OP is one lucky dude.

The lambo fire was classic !
