I posted this elsewhere as part of a discussion, but I thought others might be amused. This particular failure in the first few shots occurred during a Miata club track day at Phoenix, and very near to the 8000Rpm redline with spectacular results. The rest of the album are a few of the many engine replacement shots I have. There was a recall on these engines after a lot of failures, so there were no shortages of opportunities to get photographs.
There was a similar failure at Thunderhills where a Porsche that was behind the M3 went into a barrier and suffered minor damage due to the oil slick and lack of visibility, but that's on a huge video file.
