It's probably cresting a hill at high speed and getting a little air.

damping resistance almost instantly.

MSRC “reads” the road in 1-milisecond intervals (a thousand times per second), making
it the world’s fastest-reacting damping system. Its ability to deliver a compliant ride with
nearly instantaneous damping adjustments enabled engineers to develop a surprisingly
supple ride quality in a supercar that still delivers cornering grip of more than 1g.

From a high-performance perspective, Magnetic Selective Ride Control helps the rear
axle remain planted during launch for smooth, hop-free acceleration. It also helps
suppress axle movement when cornering on broken or uneven pavement.
That explains it. Thanks.

I remember Rod Millen doing things with this kind of technology years ago for the military.

Looks like they've come a long ways.

I'm sure all that broke when the car bottomed out AFTER the wheel broke, But I'm with you, ANY wheel can break.

The white/orange car reminds me of half the cars I saw in St. Maarten. A bunch of neutral colored cars with random colored trim pieces..I guess they did it to help tell their cars apart because soo many of them were the same.
