    holy shit I am glad to see how strong the chassis seems to be (I am driving the same car).

    Oh damn. I am glad the driver survived.
    This looks similar to the crash on the Nordschleife which unfortunately ended deathly.

    Too much speed, lack of wings on series vehicle, and a small hill is enough to loose complete any depression which makes the car taking off.
    That can be forgotten very rush.

    Exactly the reason I'm a sim racer, I would be such a guy to go over the limit more than once...
