there are Bad Yugo memories here in Michigan https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/07/car-swept-off-mackinac-bridge/2502721002/
They blamed speed, but since flying off this bridge isnt a common occurrence and speeding is, some of the sophisticated Yugo aero must've played a part.

"More than 60 MPH"...in a Yugo...really? All the Yugo's I've seen were barely able to get up to 45-50, and that was going downhill with a tailwind, let alone 60...Wind must've really been blowing that day.
I've been across that bridge, in a Tour Bus, and it was Windy. Was one of the scariest things I've ever done.

Hi guys, ...not so brave Jason F. ...was the only car still available. After 2 nights of test I haven't find a solution to be faster… 2 seconds from the other slower cars...and 20 kph slower. I accept any suggestions for improving this chevy stock block

We have amended to start time of the race due to this being a 500 mile race, we have also included a time limit.
19:30 – Free practice (45 minutes) 20:15 – Qualifying Shoot-out (private session, 5 minutes, 2 flying laps) 20:20 – Drivers' briefing and warm-up 20:30 – Race start* | 250 laps | 3hr 30m time limit
Also to pit lane speed limit will be active and must be respected, it is set to 91 MPH, so practice your pit entries as you will have to lift in the middle of turns 3/4
