BIG Porsche flip at Road Atlanta

[willamons]

Flipping marvelous!

[fatqwert200]

some jet system on the front keep it down lol

[qmto]

If I could have any wish granted, I would have wanted the car to land perfectly and have him continue the race.

[MultiMtb123]

it would be cool if it landed and kept going....

[TouristTrophyRecord]

PUT A WINGS ON THAT FUCKING CAR!

[Bartman954]

Yep I'm flying through the air this ain't good!

[IndyB25]

Oh McNish always trying to get a car to fly.

[geozaf]

it will be nice if he landed flat lol

[toprepublic]

@geozaf that would hurt like a bitch

[0210jorge]

needs more downforce '-'

[RyanSheehan64]

Freakishly similar to the Mercedes crash at the 24 Hours of Le Mans

[AntiIgnorantDimwit]

What happened to the theory of downforce?

[StockFan14]

@AntiIgnorantDimwit The car lost downforce due to the car that was in front of it. Apparently the front caught a little air over the crest of the hill or something like that, and once a car lifts up a bit, it catches more air and it is all over.

[ShikeriKaizer]

@StockFan14 I'm curious about what will happen if the same situation happens to a ground effect car? especially the one with fan on the back?

[MrMatto91]

That happened to me in NFS Underground 2. Video is on my channel.

[FORD427W]

@MrMatto91 the diference is that the real guy that had the flip was paying after that and you probably jacking off

[MrMatto91]

@FORD427W that made no fucking sense what so ever.

[FORD427W]

@MrMatto91 praying, sorry

[cronicas411]

redbull ;D

[hardnor]

rear wing mounted upside down :D

[XmetalFra]

WTF?

[GeneralWagner]

eject! eject! XD

well how we need it

[Setemios]

0:11 this up, work same than a ramp, you can see a little jump, enough to get air underside the car

a frontal spoiler fix this problen, or make the hood with more angle (the aerodynamic solution) :P

[SincereDoubt]

This brave soul is one of many who has lost the fight against gravity.

[Esoto826]

@SincereDoubt that and wind resistance

[DanzPowerNinja]

Sti gran cazzi! :-0

[daveayerstdavies]

Dalmas joins the Road Atlanta flying club...

[dereinehoader]

well....congratulations!!!!!

this asshole destroyed a car of an value over 2 million €!!!!!

[gturner38]

@dereinehoader The driver didn't do anything wrong. It was a fault in the design of the car, similar to a problem in the Mercedes entries in the same series that resulted in them being sensitive to air getting under the nose when cresting a hill behind another car. There was nothing short of drastically slowing down and completely avoiding being near other cars.

[McOgMusicOffice]

i think they should use this us a good thing . what i mean when it do this they should control it to fly and land . like a plane so it can pas the cars easily .. so what you guy think about this ?

[gp75motorsports]

@McOgMusicOffice Are you serious? That would be stupid and needlessly dangerous, not to mention technically impossible. Better to keep the car on the ground.

[McOgMusicOffice]

@gp75motorsports okay but they couldn't do it so they may use it in the good way . so if this happen they will be ready to fly and land in peace ! so what do you think. some aerodynamic will keep this pitch in the ground ether if it flaw. 

[gp75motorsports]

@McOgMusicOffice Trust me if they could add anything to keep the car under control in midair, they would. But they can't. That's why NASCAR and may other racing leagues have added safety features to keep the car from getting airborne.

[gp75motorsports]

@gp75motorsports Trust me*, NASCAR and many*

[lordoid]

@gp75motorsports Trust me...this is a bad idea ;) Even if you would create a car that can lift off for a short period (this is not the most difficult part) and it's controllable (this is the tough one) you loose instantly speed (of course - your wheels don't touch the ground anymore) so the cars are much faster. And don't say you will compensate this with the implementation of a turbine so you can blast your components an afterburner in their face. ;)

[gp75motorsports]

@lordoid I know. I meant that if they could they'd add these features as safety devices *in the event* the car got airborne, not in order to endorse flying the car like a plane. :)

[kc0793]

@McOgMusicOffice i think you are a genius, have u been offered a job by any of the racing teams yet?

[McOgMusicOffice]

@kc0793 thank you .. i haven't been offered a job yet.

[Acidicheartburn]

@McOgMusicOffice /watch?v=PetqKh7lr8g

[guillermo968]

@McOgMusicOffice BS

[ericambrosecoon]

@McOgMusicOffice Are you retarded?

[TouristTrophyRecord]

@McOgMusicOffice I AGREE!

[fentonjd]

Hmmm needs more downforce.

[RZECPOLITAZpolski]

that would be sick if he landed !!

[24NascarManiac]

@RZECPOLITAZpolski of course...

[Etergen69]

I'd have paid to be in that car for the flip

[runedude561]

MORE DOWNFORCE!!!

[60magras]

Why he try to wheelie... its a Mercedes not a bike

[blainyrules]

@60magras It's a Porsche, not a Mercedes.

[TheZamuii]

how awesome would it have been if he had landed the car on its wheels

[SmokerFace12]

He could be great friends with mark webber

[nforspeed91]

So porsche wants to fly like mercedes

[logwind]

Holy shit.

[jolio3151994]

he left the draft of the dude in front of him and when he did the car was overwhelmed by a shitton of air... and bam, that was such a sad moment in that race...

[Spinsane94]

I miss motorsport minute. :(

[TztokJad955]

HOW the hell did this happen?

[sonicstep]

@TztokJad955 An unwanted pressure difference between over-body airflow and under-body airflow occurred. Front end down force was lost as it approached car 77's effective vacuum. As the nose began to lift, trapped air levered the car up like a kite.

The difference in speed between over body air flow and under body air flow needs to be minimised. If over body airflow is too fast – travels too far from nose to tail - compared to under body air flow then unwelcome lift occurs.

[sonicstep]

@sonicstep That Porsche has a nose splitter. It may also be that its angle of attack was overly minimised to reduce drag resulting in a lack of front end downforce. If you are interested look up: Fluid dynamics, venturies, turbulent, laminar flow, skin friction drag. wings, ground effects/skirts, diffusers. Lotus 78, Ferrari 126 C2 (no front wing).

[TztokJad955]

@sonicstep aha thx

[sumeetsinghs10]

it would have been cool if he landed on his wheels and kept on going

[patsprankcalls]

Imagine being the guy driving behind...

[FPSyorkshire]

@patsprankcalls imagine being the in the car

[patsprankcalls]

@FPSyorkshire Good point :)

[r3dph0n3]

reminds me of gran turismo

[mcdoesha]

didnt mark webber do this in a merc also?

[michaelsnodgrass18]

would uh been bad *** i he landed it and kept going



[Theninjadeathhawk]

the tires probably weren't grip right or either the car doesn't have much downforce

[Theninjadeathhawk]

OMG

[PurpleParadePB]

looks like his wing worked

[HennesseyHPE1000]

HAHA i like how he just kept saying what he wanted, and finally decided he should talk about the wreck

[spinbaba]

More COWBELL!

[moonfly1]

looks like the aero guy needs to go back t the drawing board.

[spinbaba]

This isn't a flip that was OVER "one and a half times" (i.e. 540+ degrees of total pitch-axis rotation). This car flipped few than 450 degrees of pitch-access rotation, which is less than one and one-quarter complete flips.

[wolfdanger]

@spinbaba you're so smart

not

[spinbaba]

@wolfdanger Amazing! You watched Borat, too? pause pause NOT

[Dirtyracistwanker]

@spinbaba those of us with at least nine brain cells had worked that out but didn't think that it was worth mentioning, or explaining with grossly unnecessary detail.

[spinbaba]

@Dirtyracistwanker DRW, you should have used all 9 of your brain cells (I think your just bragging) to recognise the satire in my comment. Now, you've wasted my time by making me unnecessarily have to explain serious comment from satirical. Go pick on comment typos now. Buh Bye

[chewyRite2]

EPIC BACON FLIP

[TokyoXtremeDrifter]

actually that is called a gainer, you're moving forwards while doing a backflip C:

[mrkiro91]

WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­W



[f12018]

BACK FLIIIIP !!!

[satorianaide]

Hmm, if that's what he calls 'a little bit of air,' I'd like to see what 'a huge amount of air' would do, lol.

[delta1devgru6]

この時期、こういった事故多かったですね。

ポルシェ大好きです！！

[shiftcommathree1]

I'm guessing the car lost front-end downforce from drafting the car in front of it and when it went over the crest of the hill, air got underneath the car which resulted in it getting airborne

[memosam69]

BACK FLIP 

[jaumePorschista]

The rear aileron perhaps had to much negative attack angle.

After losing front downforce it acts as an aircraft aileron and makes the car to takeoff and loop.

[Max18539]

Ladies and gentlemens,we are ready for a take off,thanks for using porsche airlines lol)

[KrazyKuul111]

at least they know to adjust the downforce next time

[1001samurais1]

Lol i have that car on Forza 3

[p1t3n6]

strong downforce

[saqmuel]

row 4 number 24 j.sprague, my name is samuel JAMES SPRAGUE my dad is Jesse sprague.... cool :)

[Syphon787G]

downforce? glad he was ok cool vid

[pivotnoobRB]

@Syphon787G The Air pressure puts more weight on the car... This car had too little front downforce, which also causes understeer, "Tight."

[ohiopower]

RPM 2 nite used to be cool

[hfjde]

i wonder what the driver was thinking when he saw the road above him

[SuperMiquelle]

it's a pitty that Germans didn't pay enough atention on front end of the car...they had similar accidents in 1960's with Porsche 917LH, and later with Mercedes CLR...all caused by poor aerodynamics and lack of the front-end downforce....and it allways happened while chasing other car and on a very close "tail" distance between the cars....

[Khabibulin3935]

ehh, happens on the interstate everyday, nothing new.

[hyperacti]

The car fought for freedom and lost

[Lordcamilo2]

Good Aerodynamics?

[Nukem962001]

@Lordcamilo2 Back in the day at Road Atlanta there was a bump on the back straight away that would unsettle the car. When his front end came up at the speeds he was going the laws of physics took over.  It had nothing to do with poor Aerodynamics, just poor track pavement.

[Lordcamilo2]

@Nukem962001 hmmm got it... :)

[Oguldude]

I can do that.

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

Yannick Dalmas have crashed almost every race car he has been in... either he the most unlucky driver ever, or the most lucky driver ever to escape from so many crashes..

[42boxer1]

hes said one and a half times in the air. that would mean he landed on his roof... crazy accident tho

[ThomasJohanPedersen]

@42boxer1 He said OVER 1 and a half.

[DoubleD593]

@ThomasJohanPedersen Thats even worse, it still wouldnt be "OVER" 1 and a half or else it would have gone even farther than landing on its roof, it only flipped once

[ThomasJohanPedersen]

@DoubleD593 Mate. If it flipped exactly 1 time, it would land DIRECTLY on it's tires again. It's over 1. That's for sure.

[TupacX2Pak]

@42boxer1 Actually, if you'd listened you would have heard him say "OVER one and a half times" meaning your argument is invalid.

[85skateboarding]

IMPOSSIBLE!!!



[lakwan123]
