too fast. Then he panic brakes so hard it washes out any chance to change direction. I don't agree about the clutch dump, unless I misunderstand what BOOZTD 3 means by that phrase. I can see the nose dive under braking just as the front tires smoke up. The front wheels are turned at the time, and he's going FAST, so once grip is broken not even the abs can bring it back. The tires are just skidding sideways. The 350Z is a rear wheel drive car, so a quick clutch reengagement would smoke up the rear tire, not the front. Anyway, he off the brakes way to late and still going way too fast; too little grip in front, and he understeers right off the lot. Moral: it never pays to brake late on your very first lap; learn the course first, then get fancy.
