It looked like the guy tried to pass the car in front of him on the inside through the corner but that car took the inside from him. The Fiero then let off the throttle which caused some lift-throttle-oversteer (Which IMO Fiero's are NOTORIOUS for) and the guy went for a nice spin.

On a positive note, it's nice to see a Fiero on the track.

That lift off throttle oversteer is what gets me around the medium to tighter corners at autocross.

It is good to see a Fiero on the track.

I've had to avoid a Miata in a turn that spun similarly.

+1 I've been using it to counteract the massive pushing that is a fiero on an autox track.
