Since we know this was a 370Z, is more known? What did this fellow do? I see a gradual right turn coming up and he just oversteered? Was something on the track? Did he get bumped? He kept it pointed straight.

I'm assuming that was NOT the Stig!

It's a fellow from these forums, first track day I believe - instructor in car. It was light drizzle rain, greasy just damp track. Went too deep late braking into the corner and oversteered, couldn't correct in time or get on the brakes early enough. Once he was on the wet grass he was all done, no braking or steering possible. The damage wasn't that bad, nose, hood, fender, headlight IIRC.
