    Why did this happen? The owner told me that the LC seems to have shut down after he holding for long. (Sorry for my English Google Translator)

    Tough to say.

    What were the driver's hands doing?

    That's what I was thinking. Even if the LC didn't let up, it shouldn't have been that hard to keep the car straight. I guess we'll never really know without a cockpit camera.

    Launch control failure or not, I don't understand why it would be hard to keep the car going in a straight when you are going in a straight line. The wheels could be burning heavy rubber and there's still no reason for the loss of control shown there. I'd love to see that driver on snow!

    even more amazing is that after going off, he just pulled it back on and launched it. No thoughts to checking for tire damage or puncture.

    Pretty stupid, could have ended very badly.

    That's why I think it was all the driver's fault and he knows it. Probably scared toothless at the power.

    The driver drives the car very well. He took courses in Italy, has since Ferrari F355. He may have been wrong, but he does not drive badly.
