:shock: At first it looked like it was photoshoped but then you see the following pics...holy crap
|
Wow , impressive flight !! but less than Mercedes at Le Mans :wink:
|
Wow :shock: Amazing how although it lifted off the ground and flew 142 feet the car stayed almost level :shock: If there had been any other cars on the track the driver may well have been six feet under by now.
|
the best flight was that of the merc did a whole somersault lol :mrgreen:
hmmm sweet pics love em lol .. you know ..if the car lifts up a bit .. the downforce from the venturi dissapates and the shape of the car acts like a wing of an airplane lol .... soo YAY for aston !! :mrgreen: JW top tip .... if you ever want to made a plane out of cars .. make sure to use dbr-9's as its wings :lol: 8) 8) |
^^exactly, the underbody is flat so as to make low pressure beneath the car which glues it to the track. When you reach the limit of downforce though, it's like a jet fighter taking off. In such light cars at high speeds even the slightest raise of the nose can make you fly.

Holy Crap!! :shock:
|
Looks like he slipped off the track at a point where the track dips off and he landed on the lower section. It doesn't look like he hit anything that actually launched him into the air.
|
ROYAL AIRFORCE

wow!! :faint: i need new underwear just looking at the pictures. :oops:
