tire blowout at 200mph

Doesn't matter, too fast and the tire disintegrated, you can hear the car running on the rim. I had a blowout at 75 when I was 19 driving my 73 Capri back from the SMU game just outside Dallas on I45. Ruined the rim. Managed to keep the car under control but wow, good job at 2.5 times as fast.

I doubt runflats would have any effect at this sort of speed, you're gonna wreck the tyre at 200+

other the stupidity of the driver for doing in on the public road, his car control is pretty impressive.

The damage is nonetheless alot. Curious to see if some of the interior parts were ruined.

Oh man.. could've been disastrous. Kudos to the driver for not panic braking and maintaining control at those speeds.

After having been a passenger in a Class A motorhome when a front tire blew on an interstate at 70mph, I am very impressed with the thought and composure of the GTR driver to gracefully guide that car down the road without making a really big mistake.
