Recently the 2003 Montery Historics were on Speed. Alain De Cadinet is quite an outspoken Alfa Romeo fan he makes no bones about it. He did some of the commantary & interviews prior to the race he was to be an particpant in. During the race the other announcer made a point of saying Alain had just recently (maybe during the weekend) purchased the Alfa he was driving. He was driving quite hard and challanging for the lead about the last 3 or 4 laps and it became visually appearant that the right front wheel was going to part company. It was shaking quite hard and finally exited the wheel well, leaving him standing in what looked like the chute between turnes 5 & 6 and wondering "What Happened???"
