maybe this is a new sport instead of Autocrossing it is Autogating, when you autocross and hit a cone its a 2 second penalty, in autogating ( for the rich only I think) you hit a gate and its 2K in damage and No re run, clearly though the term "off course he missed the gate" does not apply here

The link for that video on Motoring Alliance showed the Mini driving in that same gate, then turning around (where this video starts) and getting hit. Makes you wonder why they just didn't go out the "out" gate.
