I have hundreds and hundreds of race laps at Summit Point. We pass both high and low in corner 4 or use it as a setup corner for turn 5. You need to be able to breathe the throttle at a moments notice and still be in control. It's really just like any other corner: a driver in control ought to be able to lift, brake, and/or accelerate pretty much at any time and/or place. (Except of course if you are in a 911!) It happens all the time while racing, e.g., passing, getting passed, accident avoidance.
With no one in front of him the driver in the video should have been accerating right up to the point you slam on the brakes and throw it into the "throw-away" corner. It was simply a rookie mistake that he was nice enough to share with us for educational purposes. Glad he was ok.
