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]

Wow, I wish there were some more angles so you can see what really happened.

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.

Immediately reminded me of Gilles Villeneuve's final moment.

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.
