Jebus that's awful.

Holy shiit.

I see it has a big wing on the back, I wonder is the amount of down force its producing on the rear lifting the front up?

Aweful the driver has to now live with that. It's easy to forget how it can all go so horribly wrong so so easily.

 

[Mark King]

Scary stuff.

Cars with much less DF on the rear lift at that section of the track. It's very high speed coming up to that crest and drivers tend to lift off just before it to maintain control. this isn't the first car to somersault and won't be the last unfortunately.

Is it wrong that my 1st thought was "Poor GTR " .. But that is mental. Hell of a flip!

I'd say the flat bottom was a major factor to why the front was lifting and the wing just finished it

Never seen a car float through the air, almost like a plane taking off, absolutely insane!!
