"sparks were seen coming from underneath the car because of the speed"

Your BIL is spinning you a line. I see at least two separate ones weekly (I’m assuming one of them isn’t the baddies).

Troll fail…

Well I’d imagine it’ll come into force from whenever he gets released, bit pointless banning him while he’s in custody (but who knows eh?)

I am by no means contradicting you but I thought it was not uncommon for bans to be imposed on people who e.g. did not have a licence and were not entitled to drive anyway.

I presume it wasn’t an F1 car? Most normal road road cars lift at speed.

Normally yes as to have a windscreen you kind of have to shape a car like a wing. But I’ve heard that the RS5 may produce some downforce, possibly due to the underneath aerodynamics.

But having just watched the video I would say it’s just exhaust and if quoted correctly the police are talking rubbish saying it’s due to the speed.
