One can get into severe understeer in a rear engined car when one has a foot on both the brake and the throttle at the same time. Listen to the audio prior to the crash. My wife broke her back in a parking lot in 1992 in a 25mph turn while driving a formula ford. She went wide, got into some loose stuff, started to understeer and stood on the brakes as hard as she could. Sadly she was also applying throttle at the same time.

At least he was honest: "The brother can't drive!"
Sucks for him and the owner of the car.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Well, it's an Enzo... I'm sure it will at least go back to Ferrari for an evaluation of some sort. They're crazy about their cars like that. 
Poor guy. It's bad enough to crash a car in private, but to have it circulate instantly all over the Internet, haha. Damn.
