Repost.

No matter how many times I see that, I can't work out why she crashed. Torque steer? Something break?

Correct! Tis what I think anyways :)

But umm why is it amusing?? A Mini was completely wrecked and also she could have been hurt??

she was very lucky to get out of that! the cars fu: I would like to know what see was thinking at the time. I dumped a mini into a tree on a hillclimb, the first thing that went through my head was "where do I get another Mini by next sunday"

sorry for the confusion, it emused me how it was possible to crash it! too me it looked like she had just started a run not even hit 40mph then instead of avoiding the tire she turned left into it :)

The saddest bit is when the camera zooms in on an 'I love my Mini' sticker on a piece of glass at the side of the track at the very end.
