Brown trouser moment!

What happened though, seems a bit odd?

The removed the rear wing and so when he lifted off the rear spolier wasn't there theres no downforce and the back stepped out.

Its a good reason why the Suburu /eVo don't do no spolier versions even though the market would like them.

 

[philmots]

Think one of the Jap Spec C's doesn't have a spoiler as standard!

Just not designed to do those sort of speeds. period.

Christ on a monkey bike...!

Looks like he does it on purpose to me.

You'd have to be stupid to do it on purpose IMO.

[jjoe90]

I dont understand any of this crap you lot are saying can anyone talk normall, surly if the back end came up they wud have been better putting a spoiler on to prevent tht


but it does look on purpose to me also,

 

[Mike-bham]

What was that, that landed on the windscreen? The splitter?

He took the spoiler off to reduce drag for high speed.

 

[Chris n nic]

Yep he was going for a top speed run so the less downforce the better...although try telling him that now lol

[Phill1978]

if it wasnt a super 4wd technical dream machine + proper designed weight distritbution, aerodynamics would it just have rolled and killed the guy

 

[Djw John]

I thought it was the wiper bending through the g's it would of been pulling.

Looks more like the seal popped off the windscreen as a result of the body flexing so much :S

 

[John185k]

if he had both his hands on the steering wheel then he may have been able to prevent that.

 

[Ally]

"Fookin' 'ell"

[matty w]

i think the top gun music saved him

 

[@Spoonie]

A small video of my car spining at the MLR 30-130 day at RAF Marham 03/11/07 - previous run of 182mph went fine, second run i removed the rear spoiler as it was bending alot at high speed; i hoped it would give me another 10mph, instead it gave me zero down force and zero stability once i came off the gas!

Surely someone should have said something like "Err, mate, you do realise a spoiler isn't just for show..."

 

[kpowell911]

Its a common thing removing the spoiler for high speed runs

 

[Tom]

Genius, that grass overrun must have been dry.

Fair play for trying it, but common sense would stop me short of removing the rear wing.

 

[MarkCup]

LMAO at 'done it on purpose'.

[Anim@l]

Agreed that if he'd have both hands on the wheel, he could have probably controlled it a bit better. Wtf is that music at the start of the clip? It's a rather bizarre choice to say the least. :S

 

[schakal]

did anyone else notice the magical harness at 2.46?

yupp what the fook has happened there than ??:S

 

[Bluebeard]

did anyone else notice the magical harness at 2.46?

Yeah, what happened there??!

Lol ye i did :S

He cut something out from the footage.

if he had both his hands on the steering wheel then he may have been able to prevent that.

He did have both hands on the wheel at the time it went.

 

[.GAZ.]

[Josh220]
