    That's mental. In all the years I've been going to Pod, I've never seen a crash like any of those.

    That wheel flying off into the crowd is scary!

    Ye thats what i mean....i used to watch drag racing on sky all the time and never seen anything like any of those.......

    The way the fires just break out the flow through the car is scary.......but i am guessing its because these engines runn really silly amounts of boost and run high revs.
