This video clip has to be a bit unsettling . I hope similar things don't come flying down when I ( or any of us ) drive under a highway overpass [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]

You can see the car go airborne if you look in the rear view feed in the inset in the right-hand corner

This is a truly spectacular crash. It doesn't look like anyone got hurt.

The reason the car goes airborne is part of the danger of open-wheel racing. The flying car overtook a car ahead and ran into the back of the car contacting his front tires with that car's rear tires causing upward flight. Wheel-to-wheel contact almost always turns out bad with formula cars. Even with our vintage formula fords, I know of a driver that contacted wheels and flew over another car in a similar situation braking into a slow corner. It scared him enough to quit racing, but no one was hurt.
