See:
2nd gear, wheels spinning (polished tarmac), with some tarmac tyres and a higher grip surface, it would have been a proper full blown wheelie
No torque my ****!

You might be the most British poster I've ever read. hahaha. Everything from "rubbish" to "tyres" to "****" it's fantastic and like out of a cartoon. I love it.

"tyres"
Hoy, we invented the language, it's not our fault you buggers can't use it properly!
Could be worse, at least a Yorkshire accent doesn't translate in text, or it'd be:
"The' bluddy rowtris, they ant got no tork, they're sheite!"

Yes, he broke it though, by falling off the edge of the track and hitting a slight pothole, the supension design lets the rockers that activate the dampers go over centre on a big bump = jammed suspension, chassis on the floor and bent metal.
Pretty dumb really, £2.50-worth of bumpstop would stop it doing it.

Well, given it's a polyglot from German, French, a few others, that was blended with Latin, I guess technically, pretty much everybody in Europe invented it...

Latin root with significant Anglo-Saxon and [French] Normandic influence. It's a poly-glutenous mess, which is I guess why it's so hard for others to speak/write/comprehend. 
On the plus side it's pretty easy to pick up German given that strong influence and contextual similarity.
Tire, tyre, it's all rubber.
