    From the grinding noise it was making, I'll bet the wheel rims were digging into the asphalt pretty good...

    Looks like it had solid rubber tires. The is going faster than the wheel. Maybe something in the engine is not happy about not getting oil.

    From some of the angles it looks like it's going sideways, but I think that's an illusion.

    Watch the rear wheel/suspension.........wobbling all over the place. Bet that's where the noise is coming from.

    Mini sets record around the Nordschleife (on 2 wheels)

    The Chinese stunt driver Han Yue rounded the Nordschleife with a Mini driving only on two wheels.

    he really needs to "stance" those wheels a little more to get that contact patch for a faster lap time :)
