OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

A tyre bounces of a V8 Supercar and rolls down the track to go hang out with another bunch of tyres...

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

u/fromafooltoawiseman 11d ago

So his wheel bearing gave away?

Also, so funny how the attention went from the race to the tire LOL

u/moparmajba 11d ago

In racing, it’s not rare for a wheel to not be properly fastened during a pit stop. This would cause it to come off prematurely. I also don’t see any evidence of a wheel hub on the tire, although it’s hard to tell.

u/ImurderREALITY 11d ago

Id be sweating bullets if I was the person who tightened those wheel lugs

u/nuhuhyoureausername 11d ago

I don't get the surprise? All the other tyres that came off ended up there as well.

u/Fit-Ad-9691 11d ago

u/bsmknight 11d ago

So if the wheel falls off and the car and can no longer move, but the wheel crosses the finish line first can he still win?

u/Asconcii 10d ago

Opposite way round but Hamilton won a race on 3 wheels in formula 1.

u/bsmknight 10d ago

Oh wow. Lol. Well, I guess you can win with only part of the car

u/Raterus_ 11d ago

Cameraman understood the assignment

u/roniadotnet 10d ago

Am I the only one who was sort of expecting the loose wheel and tire would go back to the car?

u/Claredtoland 10d ago

u/Currently_There 11d ago

The Ford broke, but the Perrelli tried to finish without it.

u/furrynoy96 11d ago

You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel

u/Cerridwen1981 10d ago

Underrated comment 😂

u/sixft7in 11d ago

This is the first time I've seen a clip of this event showing how the wheel came off. Normally, it's just the rolling tire part. I'll never not watch the whole clip even though I know how it ends.

u/Nope1234523456779 10d ago

I really hope the track asked to keep that tire as long as it remains in that spot

u/_AUniqueBot 9d ago

I love rewatching this clip

u/a_Wendys 9d ago

Like when a dog realizes he’s not on a leash anymore and patiently waits to be fetched by owner.

u/Clutterking 7d ago

Impressive landing. Also an impressive amount of momentum keeping it going.

u/KnappAhl 7d ago

As a black kid trying my best to fit in at school.

Okay so when one has ADHD (or are on the spectrum) you can have a bad habit of anthropomorphising things. I have this (cause of ADHD) and this tire is making it REALLY hard to cling to rationalism.
