    Horrific crash. Does anyone know more details about the crash. Odd how the other cars have damage but are all intact and the Ferrari is blown literally to pieces.

    Looks like a cali-T. Clipped one car, put into a spin and split by the second car?

    Ferrari is designed to break in half they say— some safety feature to protect cabin apparently

    Or its a safety feature for the primary crash, be it frontal or side. But once there is a secondary impact all bets are off

    This one looked excessive, one of the worst I've seen.
