Mazda RX-7 Crash at 255 MPH!!

Posted by Dan on Apr 12, 2011 in Cool Cars |


Bonneville Salt Flats: 3rd gen Mazda RX-7 race car trying to beat the land speed record for a production vehicle. (was 300 mph I beleive.) At this speed, the tire patch that is touching the ground is LESS than the width of your index finger across each tire. Furthermore each patch is encountering dust and small sand-like particles often. If you could keep the pace with this car and remain standing next to it, you could reach over and push it away from you sideways with littel effort. The announcer claims that an additional burst of oxygen in the fuel causes a loss of control, but in all likelyhood, the wind just changes ever so slightly, or began to blow (even lightly) and it was actaully this that nudged the cars nose off by just enough to start a flat spin. Yes, a flat spin, like an airplane goes into! No rudder on this vehicle, so no control!

The commentators voice is annoying..and what’s up with the dramatic music? – I feel like I’m being force fed awe and wonder. Anyway, no doubt that the driver of that car is lucky to have made it out.

wow he was so professional about everything. He got out the car and instead of running he just hit the button to take the flames out even thought the car could have exploded.
