At that distance and in real time, can you see those tires doing that absolutely wild twist as they “wind up” all the tension gripping the asphalt?

Not at real time - i'm a hobbyist photographer so have snapped the tyres digging into the track, but they're far too fast to see with a pair of eyes! really the only thing you can see is a blur then a parachute being deployed. the noise goes through you like nothing else though. I have metal plates in my arm due to an injury and was worried the vibration was going to undo the hardware :-D
By chance do you share any of that photography online?

P.S. You could always stop by the pits and ask them to re-torque the bolts :-D

unfortunately not - will see if i can dig some out. haven't been over to santa pod for a while so the pics are a bit rubbish.
