Jackass loses control during a high-speed run because he's too cool to have both hands on the wheel (also his head sticks out above the rollcage):

I think the tire blow-out probably messed him up more than his one-handedness. No excuse for the cage and seat setup, though.

Watching the external view at 1:33 it looks like the white car turns hard left into the black one to take him out, but the interior view of the same sequence shows no turn to the left when the impact takes place. Makes me wonder what happened to cause the DB-9 to go hard left right there.

When you turn your head to look over your shoulders, the motion translates to the wheel and the car turns where you're looking. It's not noticeable for road cars since the racks take a few turns lock to lock, but in a race car with 180-360 degrees from lock to lock the minor motion is enough.

A "hard" Boston tow truck driver. Totally excessive on the Mazda 3. I'm glad the towing in Cambridge is more organized than that.
Still, his reverse out of that parking garage was pretty skilled.

I want to see one of the new cross shaped ones do that type of stuff on tightly packed cars. I've seen one grab a car in a tow zone and drive off with the car before the owner who was sitting inside was able to run out the front door, which is pretty unreal.

Wow, this place employs the pinnacle of safety regulations. Kids standing against the wall, no cages, no helmets. Everybody IMMEDIATELY jumps out of their cars and onto the track as soon as they see a wrecked car. :wtf:

Not something that extreme, because you will encounter debris flung up by other cars. Unless by track you mean drag strip.

The blower rotor shapes are specifically tweaked to not make sound :(. Efficiency does exact its special price.
