Great driving there. Also, drifting is gay.

It doesn't. The tree is holding the car.

i think the driver thought he was in the "Born to be wild" music video (where the road is seemingly endless, extending to the horizon aka purely american -_-)
then
he woke up heading towards the a tree and he thought "oh ****, im in a stadium parking lot with all these cones!!!"
after that
he pressed on the brakes, locked up, lost control and headed right into the tree.

I'd like to know who planned that course. Maybe they shouldn't have put the opening turn so close to a wall with novice drivers on the track...
