Quote from FalconXB :

I don't what it's like for racing cars but I had a tire blow once. I didn't even know until the back end started to go in the corners.

There's a difference between an actual blow out and just a punctured tyre, though. Chances are your tyre got punctured and gradually deflated. I reckon you would hear a proper blow out

Ah righto. Yeah that must have been what it was.
