As a guy who has done some track time all I am going to say is APEX<APEX<APEX. The kid didnt even try to turn the wheel. There was no understeer at all. Just a stupid *** kid in a car that is way to fast and expensive for him.

Did he fall asleep or something. I was expecting some massive understeer or oversteer but why did he not even try to steer at all? I'm baffled.

Just watched this video on other forum. This is so funny, he didn't even go that fast, and it seems like he doesn't know the road at all.

It was turned 45-90 degrees to the left, if you look closely. The car was at least semi-airborne and the front tires unloaded, hence plowing straight ahead into the rocks. Agree. 19 year olds should not be driving around in an M3. Recipe for disaster and this is proof.

Ahh you're absolutely correct. I didn't look closely enough. The kid did steer appropriately to the left, but the car was already semi-airborne having just come fast out of an incline and was therefore impossible to change direction.
