The nightmare scenario for any open wheel racer is tire-to-tire contact with a competitor, especially at high speed. One not need be a genius to see why it is a problem for the tires of these cars to touch at full bore. In the event you don’t understand, consider this video a training opportunity. This dude lands worse than Jack Roush.
