No snap because he never got back to traction. Facing the right way because he kept his foot in it and kept it there 'til the car went around. This happens, and can happen, in GT7 all the time. Nothing to see here.
This thread is intensely frustrating to read. These "but this happens at this point" and yadda yadda scenarios need to be almost exactly matched to draw actual comparison, and so they are just about useless.
Ultimately, aside from the few cars that are actually broken, the game is still fine. I drove the "undrivable" Ferrari F12 in totally stock form and was wary of it due to what everyone has said, and its simply not that bad of a car, even if it is a murderer. Totally stock on SH you can light the tires up well through third gear, but yeah, it's a 730hp 3300lbs RWD car... you better be sensitive with it. Other than being underbraked for its speed, which can be dealt with, the car was a challenging, albeit crazy, fun car to drive. No aids, no RS tires, no mods, just a fine thing to play with.
I still think, as whatever as this sounds, that most people complaining about the physics just need to put more time into slowing down and getting comfortable with the game. There are still broken cars, but they are the vast minority.
