I wouldn't have expected the back to step out there. Corrected the over-correction very quickly ;) excellent control once off, most people would have been disorientated and just a passenger after the gravel.
@tomr200199 it was a handicap race so many different cars. If it hadn't been for the radicals coming by I would have gone round the outside of the MR2 in front and got him under braking into the old hairpin.
MR2 having the engine in the rear and mounted quite high do tend to snap at the slightest provocation. I had to lift and that was enough.
There is also a version of this video on my channel called "bore husband mix" which combines interior & exterior footage. it's f2RYLkz6YZ4
this is stuff James Bond would be proud of... forced off the track, 360 degree spin and a play in the sand (wondered why you took a plastic bucket and spade)then back onto the track to resume the race... absolutely 100% pure entertainment!!
Well held sir!

Good control there! Was expecting the typical panic but good skills!

Three words. Luck. Luck. Luck.
As for the reason this happened in the first place... .. well, let's say was not due to excessive driving (observational) skill.
