this turn kills the most motorcyclists as well.
its better to just turn in later shift down to third. slightly late apex and give your self a more straighter approach up towards eis curve. better with high hp cars and especially when its wet.

Not sure about that. When the backend stepped out, the driver puts in very little counter-steering and very slowly too. Freeze-frame the video when the car is at mid-track and in a large slip angle, and the direction of the front tires nowhere matches that angle.
That slide was saveable.

How does a professional driver not know how to quickly opposite lock and steer into a slide to counter it? That guy is an amateur. As the article stated, in way over his head.
