Did you guys know this car was not only a car but also a space craft?
Unwillingly, I found out about it after hitting a wall.

Hehe, launch control ftw

Anyway, this can actually happen to real cars.
Somehow when the engine-oil gets above the pistons it'll act as diesel and self combust on every stroke causing the engine to over rev by itself.

For a moment I thought you were playing Kerbal Space Program. Staging process looks a bit off.

Ha! Either that or your drivers head was stuck on the throttle after an impact like that

Ooh cool :O. But the engine exploded right after I hit the wall (explosion sound and smoke) so I'm not sure what was revving at that point .
