nuts. I was hoping this was another video of that Russian kid forgetting he wasn't in a rally car...
Last season...
O_o
Damn!!
Eight seconds into the video he turns the wheel to the right.
Now that's more like it.
Two feet off the ground and his wheels don't break off on impact. What was wrong with the first guy's car?
driver didn't even flinch lol
The first guy's car had both front uprights fail. The uprights were a new design for the team at the time. As Buemi gets on the brakes the brake torque feeds from the discs through the calipers and into the uprights. Both uprights instantly and catastrophically fail in reaction to the load from the brake torque, shedding not just the wheels but the entire upright assembly on both sides.Quote:
