The most uncanny destruction of nearly an entire warehouse by the smallest initial trigger to a chain reaction there may ever be... I hope they were well insured, and that no one was injured

On the return pass, at 427 mph, the lack of good body mounting, and not enough clearance at speed with air pressure, centrifigal force, and kinematics, caused tire deflection which allowed a panel to rub the tire. Which killed the left rear tire.
Which then put all the weight of the car on the right rear and the left front. The front end, which had caster and TOO much scrub radius is what I believe CRASHED the car, because as soon as the Left rear tire blew, the car turned right HARD. And the car went right to about 120 degrees. So fast that my right thumb, which was on the parachute air button, was deployed when the butterfly steering wheel turned into my thumb. The 1/4" SS shaft of the air switch is bent. The car about this time was bottom toward finish line, which blew almost all panels off the car. Nano seconds later, the wing struck the salt, and chute hit, straightening the car, and preventing a pencil roll. It landed on it's wheels, fyi.. Then we headed for the slow dismount, without steering as the steering link 1/2" bolt had sheared. Flipped a few times, but energy was absorbed by the wing, wing struts (1"x 10" 6061 bar), and Mr Jackson's Billet Injector and Supercharger. https://www.facebo...
17 yr old driving in the Macau Gran Prix touched another car in the approach to a corner, and broke the left suspension, and all control of her car... and launched right into a building, OVER the guard rail - - backwards
Sophia Floersch - with 'Dare to be Different' on the side of her vehicle goes over Sho Tsuboi while flying off the track at 172 mph 'Sophia was really close to Jehan, so when Jehan braked early she had no time to react. 'She hit Jehan's right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. I just hope she's OK.' The initial crash that sent Floersch into the barrier also led to damage that rendered her brakes useless as she hurtled towards the following right hand turn. Once at the turn she was catapulted into the air by a curb, that is designed to stop drivers cutting the corner and looking to gain an advantage. above are many camera angles, real time and slo mo Below, a single slow mo https://fox8.com/2018/11/19/17-year-old-sophia-floersch-survives-airborne-crash-at-macau-grand-prix/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-6406211/The-incredible-pictures-doctors-rush-172-MPH-crash-Sophia-Floersch.html
