God the chassis looks terrible, bouncing all over the place. Looks like a possibly mechanical issue. The rears locked up..

It was weird, the car didn't look out of shape, or like it was going too fast for the corner, then it locked up and went off. So, yea, possibly verifying brake bias with ABS disabled and....whoops...lol

it could be so many things... but likely its nothing anyone has mentioned, besides maybe drift mode =)

The ring, is not the place to be testing your EBD settings without ABS, that is extremely dangerous.
Those types of tests are conducted in the proper environment where you can not wreck a car or injury anyone easily.
