Would this be the outcome of an event like this in real life? |

You can see this in real life, people remove the rear wings from Evos and WRXs and they drive just fine on motorway speeds. Initial D tries to ground a lot of things in reality but like with any movie/anime, they tend to exaggerate a bit. |

While the loss of a wing support could potentially affect the aerodynamics and stability of a car, causing it to spin, it is difficult to make a definitive statement without more specific information about the fictional scenario and the real-life cars involved. It's worth noting that in real-world racing, vehicles undergo rigorous testing and safety measures to minimize the likelihood of such incidents. |
