Oopps, trailing throttle oversteer rut roh...
Wow, they will never learn. 1. Too fast for public street. 2. Goosed it mid corner 3. Lifted when the "holy crap she's loose" feeling kicked in. 4. Should have stayed on the gas and corrected if stupid enough to drive that way in traffic. Conclusion: DUMBARSE got what they deserved. Comedy!!!!!!

Can someone please clarify the physics why this happens. These guys are lifting throttle mid corner or braking rather than accelerating thru the turn. Is this because of the rear engine sliding out, Thanks Go
Some may have a more technical answer but here is mine:
Weight transfers from a rear bias to the front during the lift (along with driver panicking and probably turning the wheel too hard in the opposite direction to compensate) causing the front tires to bite. The inertia of the car is reversed and magnified as the front hooks up and turns the car in the opposite direction of the slide and the rear swings around to follow. Braking makes it worse, magnifying the forces involved.
