Yeap, the second one is where most of the crashes occur (go off drivers right and spin to the left. The 1st and 3rd one are what I was saying, in terms of how fast you are going, and shifting the weight left/right/left/right, and the faster you're going, the less input needed to spin. The other reason this happens is, since you want to carry as much speed as possible, you usually look for the straightest path (less steering input), and when you do that you hit/run over the FIA curbing, throwing the balance out as well.

My recommendation, small inputs, and with the speed you are going let the car slide a little left/right as you go through it. Early apex and once you have screwed up, slowly lift - that is what happened to the last guy, he got behind on the apexs and as he tried to catch up it was too much input and the rear went away.
