Am I the only one here who saw Mario Andretti flip his Indy car 360 degrees vertical towards the end of his racing carrer? They didn't set the front wing correctly.
Not true; he ran over a piece of debris from a car in front of him between turns 1 & 2 @IMS His wings were set correctly. There isn't enough adjustment in the wing jack screws on both a Dallara or a G-Force chassis to make a car lift. he would have understeered like a bear before he even got to corner 1 and either crashed at the end of the turn 1 wall or (a man with his extensive experaince) he would have lifted. In either case he would have never made the short chute of the track that far beyond turn one.

I don't know where you were. But I know where I was, walking to the garage area out of the turn 2 tunnel.
