How does this happen?

A front splitter would have helped perhaps?. Good thing driver walked away without a scratch.

Pretty brutal, but really cool at the same time...


Some quick Google yielded this, but it's a bit of a long read.

Way too much rear aero downforce IMO, which is quite useless at the drag strip.

With two parachutes in the back, this Lexus must be running under 8 sec. I personally haven't seen large wings like this on such a fast racer and think it has something to do with it.

Parachutes should have been deployed a tad bit earlier.

Kidding aside, that was intense. Car looked crazy fast off the line.

+1 Anybody here if they were ok? That was cool looking, but a really nasty/dangerous crash.

V-tech kicked in yo.

Jk, glad he is ok. Agreed that the rear spoiler didn't do him any favors.

Needed a wheelie bar (yes, drag cars have them) not a front splitter.
