It really is all about the tires.

Here’s a couple videos for your enjoyment on tires (or tyres) going crazy.

2006 V8 Supercars at Bathurst (Mount Panorama), camera mounted under Craig Lowndes’ #888.

PS, why is this track not in any game yet?

Tire deformation test, I believe this one was a Dunlop if I remember correctly.

Under an NHRA Top Fuel car (rollup, burnout, reverse, launch and run, cool down all in there):

External 300fps camera of drag cars launching:

1996 Nascar at Martinsville with a collection of foot, tire, suspension cams (and great commentary):

NASCAR truck, camera in a front wheel well, you can really see the tire deformation in conjunction with steering angle here.

And lastly, just because this is awesome, here’s a vid from a GoPro that Lucas Di Grassi mounted over his left eye for a true eye-level view of an installment lap at Catalunya. In HD.
