Watched the crash video. Coming out of the tunnel way too hot, combination of speed and driver likely being blinded by the light caused him to drive straight out (likely understeer too) into the concrete barrier and strike at the right angle for it to completely peel the car like a tin can. Passenger was ejected while still attached to his seat (this isn't supposed to happen in a 600k car!!!)


>this isn't supposed to happen in a 600k car!!!

Technically it isn't designed to handle someone fumbling it into a concrete barrier well beyond the speed limit.


Still, I've seen crashes way worse but the chassis didn't disintegrate like that. I'm even inclined to say the speed with which they crashed was mid at best.
