Message	But logic says that this isn't the only time a car has gone ~200 mph and needed to brake. Being that cars that go these speeds and deploy a chute don't suffer the same fate, I probably would have taken a cue from them. Was the wind direction and speed noted? Was the parachute deployment even necessary if winds were bad? Just seems as if a whole lot of attention was paid towards getting the car to that speedpoint, and a whole lot of shrugging with regards to what happened after. Not even a spoiler back there...I dunno.
