Bwahaha, I'd love to see the look on the driver's face when that happened.

anyone know what's going on here? did the distortion of the rubber through the turn cause the wheel to touch the sidewall and actually seize the axle up?

not exactly sure but it looks like he snapped the bolts that hold the wheel on. then basically the wheel fell off.

Looks to me that he locked the brakes up and the force at that speed snapped the bolts. Might have kept the car from rolling over.

Looks like the rear diff locked during the turn and broke the rear axles at the splines.

of course, the real reason this occurred is because the car is French.

I think, in Rally racing, this is actually called "building the rear axle out of confectioner's sugar."

Yeah, but that doesn't fit in the title box.
