I start to feel a little similarity with the SR20 accident at KHOU back in 2016, where the increasingly exhaused pilot stalled and spun on the upwind-to-crosswind turn, after 3 landing attempts.
Yes, as I recall the KHOU accident was also influenced by the circuit being quite busy, with faster aircraft also making approaches, and by the controller giving an inexperienced pilot complex instructions which gradually overloaded her.
