Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I think those are the real tire sizes for the rear of that car.

It looks like a race or rally? If the driver had flipped the car, as it appeared it might, then those people standing in the field were in a bad spot.

IIRC, the original BMC Mini Cooper had 10" tires tyres! :o

Yes the original mini performed very well in salon races, except it had to pit for new tires more often than for fuel.

In this particular clip I am reminded that cars can recover from very bad situations. But the driver must continue to drive, not close their eyes and hopeless announce 'I lost control!'
