I figured that was 'cause of the traction loss on the curb. Same thing happens on the exit of 2. Those curbs were really slippy on the old tires we were running that day.

I dunno, there's no real reason to shift there... I don't know why Eric would be grabbing a gear.

Edit: after looking again... it looks like he goes 4->3, but I think he hesitates... then he does make the downshift late. Not sure if that causes the spin, since I would think he's off the clutch before the curb, but I'm sure it didn't help to upset the car right before the apex.
