Not speeding. He overtaking everything else on the road by quite some margin and if you've any perception of speed whatsoever you'll notice how fast the scenery is passing him by.

It doesn't just look like he's flying past, he actually is.

If you know what road that is, find it on a map and measure the distance. Shouldn't be too hard with aerial photographs.

I liked how he slowed down after his brown trouser moment as well Shit bag

My guess is that he lifted when the corner tightened to get past the other car. Even a slight deceleration would unsettle the back end and if he's on cheap tyres its easily done.

I've not listened to the engine revs btw, no sound on this computer.

ps. everyone who is getting so upset about it, chill out.

He's a wanker for speeding and a wanker for losing it and a double wanker for stopping to check his car was OK when he clearly didn't hit anything.

Obviously there was no fire otherwise he would have kept on driving if he needed to be somewhere.

pps., trim your damn quotes.

thing to do is when you feel it go, feather the steering wheel back the other way gently, and if need be apply throttle

Though it is unlikely as the speed limit on most of the bendy bits is 80mph.

I doubt it does unluess it's a Quattro because FWD cars tend to find it quite hard to spin the rear wheels up.
