I wonder if you have a broken controller like mine... (Destiny)

My PS4 controller, when playing Destiny, turns to the right at 50% of the speed that it turns to the left. This is only at the extreme turn angles - basically turning right registers 50% of the force as normal, but never increases past that for me. During SRL, it meant that I had to figure out creative ways to make the hard right turns at the start of venus and just before the big ramp/jump on mars (pictured in your video). After 10 or so races, I discovered something weird: If I pulled the thumbstick backwards slightly from "true right," I'd end up turning at full speed. So instead of ideal turning position being 9 pm for left and 3 pm for right, my controller is more like 9 pm left and 4 pm right.

Anyway, it's a very specific point, which I can't reliably hit, so when turning right, I ended up wiggling my stick a little to pass through the zone of real turning vs. crap turning. The end result looked exactly like what you did in that final turn. Except yours is going to the left, which is a lot more prevalent in SRL because that's just how the race track loops are designed.
