He's not dead, he's just waiting for us at the finish line
is that where his body landed?
That's as fast as a formula 1 car, but probably a fraction of the downforce and control systems. Bad gamble man.
Looks like the issue was the cool down/braking area. https://i.imgur.com/1BymUfN.jpg
Looks uneven and bumpy.
Looks like the track owner/organizers are gonna be responsible here.
That is fucking unacceptable. They should have held this race at a pro drag racing track, not some backwoods amateur place. There's no excuse for bumps that big anywhere near a drag strip.
Jesus Christ that's bumpy.
Might as well try and do this shit in the middle of the hills, what the fuck.
I think going off a ramp and trying to land in a tree is safer than this road.
You could see in the video the car bouncing up and down, and uneven breaking. The ESP must have been going ape shit.
at least he'd do a sick flip
Top speed attacks at places like this always freak me out, I much prefer runways/airstrips since they're substantially longer and wider, making it generally safer for everyone involved.
