What would REALLY happen:
A week before the race, a factory worker in China making bolts would become distracted by a gratuitous panty shot of his hot floor manager, causing him to create a lug nut with a slight imperfection. The hot floor controller's sweat bead flies from the edge of her eyebrow and lands directly on the lens of the laser used for quality control, causing the signal to be very slightly distorted, giving a false positive on the lug nut which is sent out for packaging. A few days later, it arrives at the garage of the racing team and is unpacked. The crew member in charge of checking all the equipment is in a rush because the best friend of the woman who was killed is trying to seduce him at the time, and he ignores the last lug nut in the pack: THE ONE WITH THE IMPERFECTION!!! Hold camera on this for a long time and play eerie music. The day of the race opens. The inspector notices the imperfection in the lug nut and leaves to find a replacement, placing the faulty nut aside. Elsewhere in the garage, a worker drops a wrench and bends over to pick it up. Doing so, he bumps a desk, causing a book to fall over, which knocks a pen that rolls off the desk and lands point down on the tail of one of those wooden birds that rocks back and forth to dip its beak in water, which starts swinging. The wooden bird brushes a piece of paper which flutters down and brushes against a passing worker, causing him to start (orchestra sting) and bump into the workbench, which makes the faulty lug nut roll back into the pile where it is picked up by another worker fitting the car with tires, making the entire scene I just described entirely pointless.
Then the woman dies.
