For starters its not a starndard car it was a GT-3 race car, secondly about 1/2 second on from that clip a spectator was killed when the car landed on them.


Its a race car using a belly pan for downforce as many do, far far removed from the road car. This is also what happens when you take a downforce aero car to a track that was never designed to be a race track ie the Nurburgring & the aero effects are outweighed by the yump that sends most cars airbourne at anything over 130mph.

Yumpin' yimminy!

I posted a picture of a Mercedes Benz with a wing on it; and found out it was the one that sent its molten magnesium engine block into the grandstand in 1954. Oops.
