He must have had one of those buddy christ statues in his car, like the one I just ordered.

I don't think understeer was the problem as the webpage states. &nbsp;Judging by the skidmarks they were well to the inside of the turn (rather than pushing to the outside and over the crest), looks like he locked up the brakes and tried to steer (hence "understeer" in the form of no turning at all), rather than accelerate and get the rear end around. &nbsp;Newbie mistake. &nbsp;It's hard to rewire your brain to get on the gas around a corner since it's rwd, when in a fwd car, lifting brings the tail around smoothly and is a more natural reaction to a fast corner. &nbsp;

It's speculation as I wasn't there or driving, but it's definetly what it looks like. &nbsp;I agree, they were both very lucky indeed.

so on rwd cars, you're supposed to accelerate on turns

Getting on the gas at that point would have just kept the understeer going. I agree that he probably locked his brakes, but I don't agree with your resolution to the problem. If he fed it more throttle, he would have just shifted weight to the back of the car losing even more traction in the front. He should have just let off the brakes. Worst case scenario he'd spin out, best case he'd accidentally drift the corner and be scared shitless for a minute or two.

I do agree though that most driving techniques are totally against what your body is inclined to do.
