Several observations:
ReplyDelete1. Detroit GP. That will never happen again.
2. That's a really long lap for a street course.
3. Nicely illustrates how hard these cars must be to drive. He went from "situation normal" to "in the wall" in about half a second.
Guessing the wide turn on the pass put him in the marbles and dirtied the tires. When he rolled on the power the rear came unglued and spun him into the wall.
