M3 Cliff Dive - Understeer won

I drove a lot of backroads including Big Bear, Pearblossom highway, Angles Crest and never once have I pushed the car to the limits on the tight corners.

Tight increasing corners are very dangerous especially if you don't know it and if you are going faster than you should, there's nothing you can do. Really hoped this guy learned his lesson... chill goes down my spine when I watch it since I have seen too many people take these steep, dangerous corners too fast

A late blind apex/decreasing radius turn can be tricky. Hopefully he learned his lesson and didn't get too badly injured in the process. Take it to a race track!

If this wasn't a sanctioned event, then I don't feel bad at all.

I keep it to the track when I really want to push a car. When I do push it on roads, it's back roads with little traffic that I know well...and I NEVER cross the centerline because I'm not pushing it as hard as I would at a track.
