    Something tells me he's turned off the ESP button. Bad things happen when that's turned off.

    Small bounce off the outside wall, apex WAY too early. Never good.

    Pretty impressive how the hood just peels off.

    His co-driver's cute!

    He claims the throttle stuck open. Now just how does the throttle get stuck open with fly by wire?
