    Right rear wheel would become sluggish, car was steering a right hand bend. both should have caused the car to twitch to the right in my Pre school train of thought.
    I cant say i have much experience in these matters but actually i may have on account of i have crashed a few cars of my own in the past. Which begs the question why did it spin left when the blowout was on the right. There is so much i don’t understand about aerodynamics and G forces - it just rocketed into the wall really didn’t it.
    I suppose driving the car i would steer off the track if i got a blowout rather than cause total carnage on the track. at 200+ mph the wall would precede the thought process of hitting the yankers.

    The wheel alignment looks plausible if you follow your eye down the body of the car the wheel looks out of alignment, i cant imagine there would be any azimuth adjustment of a fixed axel but knowing the tech in these cars wouldn’t surprise me. Certainly height, vertical alignment and suspension would be altered by telemetry during a race. Gimbaling the wheel so that toeing the wheel angle in/out a few degrees? There be dragons.
