The guy in the Yaris should learn to left foot brake, it might have saved him from his meeting with the fence and if done right, it would have tidied up his run a hell of a lot.

I think it's a symptom of playing too many racing video games, where bouncing off the edge of the track is often a perfectly efficient way of going around a corner faster

He also learned it's the fastest way to stop

The same goes for the invisible passenger brake pedal.

Let me correct myself. I've seen worse happen to a Yaris on a Auto-X track.

Sure he did better than I ever will, but at least mine is still in one piece
