These folks don’t seem to be getting any warning whatsoever before the snap understeer takes them out at 220 mph. Brutal.

Edit: Obviously, I meant oversteer.

I think I heard them say at some point that the cars this year are down 800-1000 lbs of downforce compared to what they ran last year. That’s no small amount.

These new cars certainly seem to be tough to tame.

Ha, that’s exactly what I texted to my dad about 3 minutes ago. Somebody should give Marcos Ambrose a car for the Coke 600, make it a clean Aussie sweep.

yeah - I was thinking the low down force set up would be more forgiving, but clearly not...
