I think it's a function of the way the DL determines lap distance, which appears to be backwards. I tried to overlay the data the same way myself, but it was out of sync, since I really never made it to the stopping point before the DL reset the lap.

I do have a question about your reactions though. Do you think that you added throttle because you know you aren't supposed to lift in an effort to save the car? Or do you think you were just adding throttle because you felt you were taking the turn normally?

The latter. I added throttle slightly before I started to spin. I felt that I was too hot in the corner, though I really wasn't as I have taken that turn at higher speeds. As Richard points out in the data analysis, I incorrectly tried to scrub speed (braking) while turning in - my version of chickening out. I am normally on throttle when I take that turn, so I tried to get back on throttle, but I was a bit too abrupt and without traction, which caused me to spin. If you watch my other video, to build back my confidence, I did a lot more straight line braking ahead of the turn so that I could be (confidently) on throttle through the turn to keep back end planted.
