It definitely looks like a panic move from someone who hadn't ever dealt with that before. Wheels straight, wheels straight, then OH SHIT 45 degrees to the right and land.....oops. Luckily the guy he was racing wasn't too fast and was able to stop before it got really bad.

This is the exact reason you have a piece of tape at 12 o'clock on the steering wheel to mark straight-ahead front wheels in the event of a wheelie.

You'd think Ford would sell the car that way

 

or if you do right-left type motorsports, to do the same when correcting overtsteer events

You are an idiot if you think that tape is something you would notice in a panic situation. I thought he peddled out of it half way decent. as far as the steering i lock my left arm against the net and it keeps me from doing that. until you are there you have no idea how you will react. The car was drifting to the center and his natural reaction was to correct, and correct and correct some more lol.

So your argument is that even though he didn't notice he was looking at the sky and didn't notice his arms were crossed over each other the wheel was turned so far. He WOULD have noticed a piece of electrical tape on the steering wheel?

Speaking from personal experiences on track, yes. You don't go looking for tape. It catches your eye just enough

 

Then again, this guy is a noob and just panicked

i think you're missing the base of my point.... And I wasn't talking about autocrossing only
