Just came across this video from a month back

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QFBB147YCA

He had an unexplained loss of traction from the back, piled into the armco
Afterwards he's cursing himself for the damage to his car and says it's now undriveable because he's bust the toe link

Any votes for the toe link having gone first?

Nope.

Gets on the gas, bit of understeer, Lifts and spins.

Definitely not a toe link failure.

His hands were dancing about a bit on the wheel too. Hard to tell what he was doing...

Very much this. Sharp acceleration whilst steering, then lifts, starts the weight transfer to the front, still has steering lock on, rear then becomes a pendulum which you've got to be fairly quick and deft to catch.

This chap's video and his driving have been dissected at length on SELOC!
