I sincerely hope that is a typo.

nah, (obviously) a poor attempt at humour

everyone knows he was drafting the car at 240kph

You hit something head on and hard. It is conceivable that you hit your wheel on something after you were already down and sliding, but your bike doesn't look like it. That is not any kind of fatigue failure. I did the same myself a month ago, but my fork, being composite, simply sheared off both its blades just below the crown. My wheel, as with yours, didn't look too bad from a medium distance, and the tyre was unblemished. My wheel was dead, however.
Anyway, you're never going to know for sure.

Have you owned the bike since new? If not, any idea how much use or abuse the fork has seen? Straightening from a prior accident, repeated off-road impacts, jumping curbs, hard braking loads all contribute to fatigue damage...it's a cumulative thing.

Speaking of strange damage to forks, a guy here recently had a squirrel dart into his front spokes while going at a good cruise speed on a club ride. The squirrel went up and around, shearing a CF fork leg cleanly through in the process.
