If you can't afford crashing, don't go to track. It look to me like he maybe let off gas and back end slide around. Should have turned wheels to the right and maybe stay in the middle of the track.
Video is too short too see the result.

looks like it maybe totaled, cause the frame shifted.

Sucks, but you learn from your mistakes

That depends if they KNOW it happened at the track.

alot of tracks offer trackday insurance...costs a couple hundred bucks and covers you if you wreck the car on course (since your regular insurance sure as hell won't)....

from what i've read, you can get a multiple day package for like 10 races and the price drops a ton per race

I like how people are all experts on how he should have corrected to avoid the crash...If u never have an off or close call, you'er not going fast enough. Just hope it doesn't cost you a lot of money when you do finally have one.

That's only if you're driving a race car at a race event, not a DE event. You should NEVER be driving past your abilities at a DE day.

And no, there's really no way he could have corrected other than to mash both feet in and hope the ABS didn't freak out and release the brakes.
