btw Peter Dumbreck managed to not only survive this crash but stepped out of the wreck uninjured, for those who wonder.

[@glytchd]

pEf Alien Oh thank God. When I first seen it, i thought "OH! at least landed wheels-down(more or less).. perhaps majority of G-force was distributed into the frame" But then seeing the aerial view of the wreck; I was horrified. What an amazingly lucky crash! Thank goodness he didn't land on the roof. Thanks for sharing! That design SO needed more aerodynamic down-force in it's front bumper

That was the third time a CLR went airborne that weekend. It happened to one car twice resulting in heavy damage which would keep it out of the race and after the car in the video crashed, Mercedes pulled the third CLR out of the race and they pulled out of motorsport altogether after that weekend.

[@AdamantJHS]

They didn't pull out of motorsport completely after that, they were still an engine supplier in F1 at that time and racing the DTM as well. I think you're confusing it with the 1955 Le Mans disaster, which also involved Mercedes, and resulted in many spectators being killed. Mercedes pulled out of motorsport for many years after Le Mans '55.

Perfect example why aero is so important. Still unbelievable, that a car is able to do that

[@m-h1217]

More like why pitch sensitivity is important, it wasn't the aerodynamics which were at fault.

[@saturnFIV3]

​@@m-h1217what is pitch sensitivity and how did it cause that car to launch into flight?

[@m-h1217]

@@saturnFIV3 Basically, the CLR was prone to tilt forward and backwards as a combination of a short wheelbase and its suspension system. The launch occurred because the car tilted back while crossing a bump resulting in an angle of pitch (tilt) so high the bottom of the car acted like the contol surface of a wing. It's similar to if you would tilt your hand upwards when sticking it out of a moving vehicle. It goes up.

[@koitorob]

And the fix to that problem is to cut two larges holes in the front bodywork. It's now written into the regulations. One large hole above each front wheel to allow any trapped air that gets under the car to exit safely, instead of the car doing some scarily spectacular gymnastics

[@deezynar]

Yes, that's exactly right. Of all the angles for a car to hit the ground, tail first, wheels down, is the easiest on the driver. Another thing, I'm guessing the aerodynamic drag from the car's bottom heading straight into the airstream for a moment when it first lifted off the ground probably cut 20 MPH off the speed.

[@chubbz5150ify]

Apparently when the marshals got to him. He was sitting on a tree stump with a phone in hand. Probably telling those back in the pits he was ok. He was also breathalyse as Le Mans 24hrs takes place on public roads.
