Idk but I'm going to guess he entered a turn at full tilt boogie and understeered it right off the road. :doh:

Damnit...I can NOT find the video I'm looking for. An STi full of young douchers were taking a long right hand turn pretty fast, over rotated and put it in the grass.
It doesn't sound too bad, but it could have been violently worse. If we ever find that video, you'll be yelling at the screen in protest of their stupidity.

Right you are. Novice and incredibly lucky.

By the time he tried to correct, it was waaaay too late. I'm going to guess that lift off oversteer is what set the rotation in motion. Lift off oversteer still gets a lot of experienced drivers, but you gotta know your car.
