I think that it came from diving in too hot. I was trying to trail brake at corner entry but since I came in so shallow I had to put a lot more angle into the steering which broke the rear loose and then I wasn't quick enough to catch it.
Subsequently, rather than carrying too much speed at corner entry, I came into that turn a little wider and a little slower and concentrated on getting on the throttle as soon as possible to get a good launch at corner exit (the old adage of slow in and faster out is always a good bet).
I like your "Wham" characterization! R-compound tires let go somewhat quickly and without much tire squeal beforehand so you better to be ready when that happens or the car will come around fast like this one did (thank you Boxster low polar moment of inertia).
I am also glad that the audio didn't catch any of what I was yelling to myself inside my helmet...
