There is also another right-left combo in there somewhere, where the wall on exit really sneaks in on you, I imagine it's claimed a few right fronts over the years.

The car that did the flip that's most famous was an early CLK-GTR (check the dual oval headlamps, as opposed to the streamlined projectors of the Sauber Group C car) Thats it in the film clip above, on the Mulsanne straight . Note that Mercedes CLK-GTR's did this twice, and neither time were they in a slipstream that would give them an excuse, just got light and up and over they went. The Evolution model of the Porsche GT1, however, resolved a similar issue with the Porsche GT1's. An early GT1 did the same thing on a smaller Eurpean road course, on a long straight behind a Toyota, if memory serves; he got int he slipstream, negating all his front downforce, and then got light over a rise......he went vertical and then slammed back down forwards, spinning into a wall after breaking the car in half.... Scary stuff.

I can't imagine why those "prototype" cars don't fly as well as a good old sedans and coupes...

That's what happens when you drive a vacuum-cleaner 150+mph and the vacuum turns off over a rise. :shock:
