Great video. Why do you think you lost it? slippery curb, oil or simply too fast?

Looks liek he put both right side wheels on the white lines - slicker? Any damage to the nose - I didn't get any sound but it didn't look like it crunched. Hope all is well!

That turn is very tricky. If you cut inside too much that´s what happens. It is also why the instructor placed cones in th inside of that turn. I wanted to pass that turn faster then the GT street to exit faster and have more speed on the straight...

My friend destroyed his GT3 RS on the same spot the following week. I saw the crash live in my back mirror.
He skidded at the same turn but he did not react, not even braked!
Hit the fence in the front, bounced back in the air and landed on the roof after several spins in the air and skidded on the roof across the track.
I thought he was injured or dead... I freaked out. He had a full roll cage, no Hans and came out of this crash with nothing! The airbag worked as a good as Hans system, just burnt his nose a bit.

First of all: NICE TRACK! I love France.

Right at the end of the skid it sounded like you knocked over a wine bottle. Does anyone else hear it?

I am no instructor... but looks like it was a slight early apex and throttle lift when you realized you were going slightly wide.

I am glad that everything worked out.
