Wow, what a fun looking track with some challenging turns and lots of elevation change. Too bad it's so far from CA!
IMHO the guy lost it primarily because of the brow he was going with too much steering lock on. To make matters worse he seemed to apply the brakes as well.
I was taught to momentarily straighten the steering when going over brows in a turn. It unloads the tires for a moment until the car settles again on the other side of the brow. It's the short version of making it a double apex.
