An Audi TT wing produces more drag than downforce. Wings on street cars dont have a noticeable affect even if Michael Schumacher is driving. I’d bet money that recall was due to other factors.

No wing on brick Subaru @ 148mph into a slight left when you expect to have downforce = spin o rama, agreed.

I’m trying to decipher exactly what caused that wheel to fail. Between :37 and :39 you see the hit. Can’t tell if that wheel failed from a forward bar smashing inward, or if it was due to his hand on the wheel. If the latter was the case, I’m highly surprised he didn’t shatter an arm or hand/wrist.

Nasty hit none the less.
