more like the body design was generating more lift below the car, than the downforce could compensate for

I actually remember watching this live on Speedvision... There's a hump in the road there, and he just happened to approach it the wrong way (I forget how they explained it), and because of the immense speed, up goes the front end and the rest of the car followed

man that sucks...i bet that guy (if he survived of course) wont be driving any cars professionally again...except for maybe at the local go-kart place
