A few driver errors there but fundamentally they all oversteered.

I remember that one well...... In fact it was analyzed as a "why?" topic. The yump and steering positions where fine, inertia moment fine, so brake imbalance as each tyres contact patch evolved produced involuntary steering. Suspension compression is relatively uniform albeit an undulating surface a yet the car bolts to one side. It was concluded the brake/ tyre traction values steered the car on landing.
