I'm baffled every time I see one of these videos (it's usually Lambos). How on earth can you not control your own car during moderate acceleration?

This was not "moderate" acceleration. He was bouncing it off the rev limiter and dumping the clutch in 1st... then the same into second gear.
I was there in person watching it when it happened.
