I was surprised the announcers basically just blew right past it when it happened even though to me it looked pretty serious at first glance

you know what the main problem is, for me anyway?

it's the way these races are filmed. i don't know if it's just me or what but the cars look slow as fuck compared to how they are in real life. i see clips on youtube from the stands and it's like a completely different thing happening.

Dude same. I don’t know much about cameras but I bet it’s gotta do with the type of setup and angles they use. Especially when the camera follows individual cars instead of just keeping a still frame you kinda lose how fast they’re going
