Hairpins. I'd say he was probably having trouble with driving any kind of good line with a road that narrow with gravel and crap on outside portion of the road. Takes some space to properly setup a car that wide. Car was clearly pushing due to lack of room to kick rear end out. Appears to be an accumulation of gravel and marbles on proper line entering hairpins on outside. Sure looks like a bunch of stuff on outsides of those turns that forced him to drive on clear path rather than perfect line. He may have been taking best line avialable that had traction. You can see when he came into one turn a little too hot and drifted off line and got tires into crud that front of car pushed pretty badly.
