but I do think he apexed early. It then carried him wide and he kept turning to try to stay on the track. If you watch the lead car in the video, Flash starts turning in a moment after the guy who's 150ft ahead of him. The lead guy late apexed, Flash early apexed, and the ideal was somewhere in between.

There was a nice dirt area next to the track where you could have gone off straight and then recovered back onto the track gradually. It can be hard to fight the innate desire to stay on track at all costs, but sometimes going off in a controlled manner is the ideal solution.
