I bet it has all has to do with when he jammed it into what looks like (3'rd ) before that corner you can see the car start hopping all around when he did it... Maybe it overrevv'd and bent a rod or spun a bearing... What an idiot... Doesnt know how to drive at all if you watch half the video and dont skip to the 2:36 mark

over revved ? I'd imagine there would be a rev limiter on that motor. lack of lubrication killed the motor imo

looks like the pickup fell off to me. if you look closely ou can see that the oil pressure drops to zero in the corner before the motor blows.

Oil starvation plain and simple. I am wondering what kind of car it is. Looks small, probably fast as shet.

I believe that's an RX7... someone correct me if I am wrong.

And lol at the can't drive comment. For some reason that really reminds me of the Youtube comments by completely ignorant people that supposedly race in pro circuits.

And I would have to agree, that thing sounded mean as hell.

Over revv'd as in by jamming it into 3'rd gear and dumping the clutch like he did caused the rear tires to hop and force the motor to over rev not that he did it himself.. happend in my car aswell and i bent 2 rods and a valve. But oil starvation is possible.. somone find out what really happend. im sticking with my theory... The whole jamming it into gear and whatnot probably fucked something up to cause the oil pressure to go to zero because the oil pressure drops right after he jams the gear if you watch closely.

Yeah, it's an FD3S RX7 (1993-1995).

That's gotta suck.
