Rolling start at Snetterton at the weekend. I was a lot further back on the grid racing in an MGA but the incident caused a lot of grief due to the pace car being out for several laps. The onboard footage shows what it is like to lose a wheel in an Elan at speed.

N.B. The Camaro was pulling over 160mph on the strait.

Wow!
Nice!
That Camaro really pulls away on the straights!
Is it known why the hubshaft broke apart?
Don´t want to experience the same when I find the right GTS to buy on the market.

I didn't speak to them after the race but it is a S1 GTS or 26R replica if you prefer with mostly TTR components chassis etc.....
