I guess I should have gone to China. After coming home early from the 2008 Gumball rally for the race at Brands Hatch. Wayne Marrs on board footage shows what happens when you put modern day slicks on a 20 year old Ferrari. I lost my near side rear wheel. Thankfully I'm still in one piece.
Fuck me! Were they original stubs or race grade? any injuries from that wheel flying away? (look at the lift it gets^^)

The Stubs are original, and checked after every race. We have crack tested the new one, which we will fit ahead of the next race but have also commissioned some race spec items for Spa in October.

It was the Stub-axle that cracked and let go, so the wheel came off with the hub, brake disk and caliper still attached.
