dandys fc crashed at 240mph :(

[turbotoaster]

i assume a few of you know about dandys car from japan.

every year he travels to bonnieville to run his gt45 13b powered blue fc.

this year his new driver lost it at 240mph and destroyed the car.

Just thought id show you guys some information on it.

I love how that FC is still running an OEM rear spoiler

yeh, hes not allowed to make any aero mods to the car at all, ive seen pictures of underneath from when it came back from bonnieville last year and theres no diffusers or undertrays etc

chatting to jim at racing beat he said his fc was all flat floored so this might be one of the reasons dandys car kept spinning out from lack of downforce
