Good to have reliable windshield wipers when you're drag racing in pouring rain. Props for not losing her handbag.

The ultimate outcome of the Lambo was the same when a Gallardo took on a FGT in Battle of the Supercars a couple of years ago....At the end, Paul Tracy was standing on the track holding a broken motor part, with a traffic cone on his head, as Tanner Foust did donuts around him with the GT. I think the ending was posted on the forum.

Team Jeff took those photos, and it was actually Tanner holding the broken part. Jeff found a piece of the block casting with the bull logo laying on the runway, and gave it to Tanner.

Jack I agree.
Good old Italian engine. Good for less than one mile and it breaks...
The Italians forgo robustness for flash.

Celebratory fireworks while crossing the finish line. :lol

Glad to see no one was injured, it will run out, just some surface deposits of carbon.

'Anyone have an idea (REAL idea...not just, 'The broad can't drive') why the car would suddenly turn left? 'A blowout? 'Broken part? 'Shift in traction/grip (caused by dip in road surface, or)...?

Well it's definitely a right hand drive car, so unless there were two chicks in the car, "Broad can't drive" would be a ridiculous comment.

I've seen some sophisticated stability and traction control systems do weird things in unusual conditions that would require human "imagination" to comprehend. In my case, fuel leak on a single brake disc and tire causing both irregular traction and braking characteristics (and probable conflicting sensor feedback) causing sudden transmission and stability system actions that resulted in a vehicle spin while driving straight on dry pavement without any acceleration or braking inputs from the operator present. A mile race in the rain and some vehicle mods could cause one of those scenarios for the systems.

Alternative theory: vtec kicked in, yo!

Most broads can out drive Pockets, or at least put on more miles.

Ok, I'll say it. That's what happens when a GTR driver must rely on actual skill and talent for a second or two.
