If your tyres are not in contact with the road you have no grip and and little steering ability. Looks like the fancy-schmancy Lambo suspension could not keep up with the surface changes as if went over the inside curb.

Maybe too abrupt rebound behaviour from the suspension and not enough downforce.

doesn't look like much speed through the corner than enough for even higher d/f road cars to carry more than a few kg of d/f through... I think it's a case where he was just carrying too much speed over the hill. Maybe the rebound isn't set well... but well, its not a race car The Super 7 kit looked like he was carrying more speed, and a better line... low weight pays dividends

too bad, they are fun cars
