OUCH!!! That had to hurt.
For a secret surprise, and to see who's into racing. Can someone tell me how did that happen? I know how, just want to see if peeps in here understand what happened there. And don't ask for what the surprise is until you've answered correctly.:alien2:

I guess to be fair, I should not answered, as I've already spent too much time looping that video drinkin beer, analyzing it.
OK, I'll tell why..His blow-off valve was mounted under the car, facing down. sorry, that was even lamer than I thought it'd be. |

my guess is it has something to do with the fact he had just gotten to the top of the hill and the wind from the car infront of him somehow had gotten beneath his car to lift it.
Or, it could be a defective transformer....... |

It's hard to see what happened exactly because that video is so grainy. I could only guess maybe his rear spoiler was set too high, making the front end a little lighter. Maybe the car in front of him caused some turbulance, a little air got under the front lip, and just like an airplane wing, the low pressure zone created on top of it caused it to fly up into the air. I didn't see any serious cornering going on, and the incline wasn't that sharp, so I'm stumped.
I know it hurt, that much I can assure you. |

I think that's what happened too, Smmed up, I say that due to a poor situation of the GT1, he was another victim of Aerodynamics.

He was simply a victim of aerodynamics (read:turbulent air running underneath the car slower than the air on top of the car). Just like the Mercedes cars that flipped at Lemans (I'm sure everyone has replayed that a million times already...just think how weird it was watching it as it happened). Man that was some wild stuff...
