ha! our physics class was talking about this today and our teacher used this as an example :P

@sonorascotland this exact video?

Вот эта хрень как тот ролик с глюком физики в каком то серьёзном автосиме.

[LineRiderPro333]

SAME!

[Peramorphosis]

actually it's magic. a wizard lifted it up with his spells

[openwheel6]

He flipped because of the aerodynamics...his front end got lifted a little bit on the hill and it was over from there..

[Ludomann]

i think the driver was like "Look mom, no hands.. OHH SHITTTT!!!!!"

[g0ld3n317]

haa he almost landed it!!!! soo close!

[xstr33tr4cerx]

@oggybodoggy haha yah but if anything the landing would've fucked up the suspension

[xstr33tr4cerx]

hey almost landed

[PIlotrcm]

Looks like by drafting the car in front of him, reducing the downforce on the hood of the car and being at the apex of that hill got him airborne...

would have been totally awsome though if he landed back on all 4 tires though and just kept on driving

[oggybodoggy]

That would be sooooo awesome if he had made a perfect flip and driven on

[ChoklitRhein]

@tangenii Word, son. The suspension and other bits and pieces would still be all kinds of jacked up though. =/

Not really, in 1998 that design won the LeMans 24 hours.

A number of factors conspired to result in the accident;

The car was in a low-downforce situation from following the car in front so closely, at that point it reached the crest of the hill, the front end lost its ground-effect resulting in a loss of front downforce, the rear downforce levered it up and at that speed the air got under an up it went.

Same happened to a BMW V12 LMR in 2000 and a Mercedes-Benz CLR in 1999

see this is the worst car design ever
