Folded his whip

He was most likely speeding into the turn while in the tunnel.
Recipe for disaster if you ain't a pro! That whip effect is rough to control.

Cars Don't Always Speed Up — But They Do​

In physics, acceleration doesn't just mean speeding up — it means any change in velocity. Since velocity is a vector (it has both speed and direction), changing direction is acceleration, even if the speed stays constant.

What's Happening in a Turn?​

When a car goes around a curved corner:

• The car's direction of motion is constantly changing.
• This change in direction means the velocity vector is changing.
• Therefore, by definition, the car is accelerating — even if the speedometer reads the same throughout the turn.

The Physics Behind It​

This is called centripetal acceleration, and it's directed toward the center of the curve. It's governed by the formula:

a = v² / r

Where:

• a = centripetal acceleration
• v = speed of the car
