It's a Formula 1 sidecar, an LCR to be specific. The reason it came apart like it was made of paper is because the body and most of the construction is a composite of carbon/kevlar and monocoque like a Formula 1 car. They use modern motorcycle engines, but have more in common with Formula 1 cars.

The LCR in this video broke a heim joint in the front suspension that caused the steering control arm to allow the front wheel to snap full right and send the rig off the track. The passenger suffered bumps and bruises, but the driver was out with a couple broken bones for the rest of the season. The crash was in 1996, driver Shane Soutar, Passenger Adolf Hanni.

Thanks Einstein... like we're all too fucking stupid to realise that for ourselves. Why don't you go and tell your mom, or someone else who pretends that they're interested in your boring shit.

y state the obvious???

That was freaking AWESOME. I loved how the car exploded AROUND the driver, basically leaving him in his own space. Telekenetics anyone? lol

Wow! Awful cynical, genius. Terrible to learn something besides the obvious.
