The flying Mercedes at Le Mans brought the almost immediate cancellation of the CLR project as was participation in the ALMS series. Mercedes blamed the humps at Le Mans, which were lowered later. Later on Mercedes claimed that a miscalculation during aerodynamic development had a role in the crashes as air was literally lifting the car off the ground from the underside.

Other than that, I love Le Mans!!!

The governing body of this motorsport (which I feel is spectacular) could implement some guidelines as to the safety regulations...E.G.: they can require all entrants to have certain downforce requirements above 100kms/hr and designs that will keep 'em grounded.

hpi hellfire rules

OMG... the driver is the luckiest man in the world if he survived...

I don't thing the corner was the problem, the small rise allowed for high pressure under the nose, when it couldn't evacuate the high pressure moved under the entire undertray, once pressure seal is broken there's only one result. It seems it should have been a fairly easy fix if it happened more than once. There are ways to evacuate which will not impede the aero Cp

This is what happens when you speed at corners with bad downforce.HEY,SHIT HAPPENS.
Didnt know Mercedes made planes!

wasn't it the car in front that Toyota? it's design forced alot of air to the ground, so the Mercedes got that high pressure under the front and well you see what happens.
