Those cars easily have enough torque to get you into trouble with all traction control turned off. If you look at his front end, the suspension unloads ABRUPTLY rather than gracefully, so I assume he floored it in a low gear with no traction control turned on, and simply broke it loose. The course itself is straight at that point (correct me if I'm wrong, KB), and I saw no steering, nor brake input. The *** end just came around from what appears to be him simply flooring it.

It actually went into a short slalom (sp?) and then a straightaway to the finish.
