Where most cars can see lift/go light. It doesn't help when the underside if flat like a sail.

There was another video that was posted on BTG that showed it from a better angle, that catch fence was never going to stop a car that was airborne and hadn't really been slowed by the tyres

That video is horrifying to watch: the car was airborne even before it got to the top of the crest.

I recall the Schulze GT-R popping wheelies over the Flugplatz a few years ago (there were some incredible pictures of it), but nothing like in that clip.

Not seen that footage before, bloody hell that's scary.

Merged this with the other thread in the Ring section.
