I hope he studied his caster and camber carefully post race so he can set up his car like that without crashing next time  :devil

Or did he possibly lose 100 pounds worth of parts? :D

Only in America can you crash your racing car and somehow make it better!  :P    Awesome driving by that guy!  :aok

I'll call it a wreck since that's the title if the vid, posted by the actual driver.. No, the car wasn't destroyed, but there was contact involving four cars, and body damage, so it was more than just a simple "spin" ...

 He also seemed to have a definite power advantage over most of the field too. Impressive driving.  :aok

In the start he was being left behind. Perhaps something heavy fell off in the crash. Spec Racers are supposed to be identical. They even add ballast to compensate for the differences in weight of the drivers.

They are identical, but that doesn't mean they'll run identically.  Every car ever made will have a slight discrepant from identical ones rolled of the line.  Even a couple of HP or lb/ft can make a difference, I'll bet that's all it is some days.  Sure is fun racing to watch where driver skill is the lions share of it, not who has the better tech car.  I could really get into watching this after that race.  I like F1, and will watch any kind of racing, but this type of stuff is always a blast.  I bet it's a lot of fun to race these Spec cars.

Regardless of how this driver won, he won, and drove very well, considering he's not a national champ level driver like some of the leaders in the field here.  Probably showed he has what it takes at least to move up to that level though.  Again, fun race to watch, the comments were funny.

Well, he started in or close to pole position so he can't be a dud either.
