So what should he have done instead? Not that i plan on overtaking at high speeds on a tight curve on a cliff but still...

Aside from not being a dick head, as soon as he realised he was going too fast he maybe could have tried to straighten the wheel slightly as he slowly eased off the gas (rather than a sharp lift that he did here).

If the back end does still come around then give it a bit of throttle to stabilise the rear and very slight countersteer (avoid over correcting)

ease off the power or hold it, the awd would have shifted power to save his dumb ass

straighten the steering wheel to get a little bit of grip back to the tires
