    Last weekend at the 24 hours of Le Mans driver Marc Gene lost control of Peugeot 908 Hdi and hit the wall at over 120 mph.
    It seems that the car caught some air underneath and lost control and ended up flying towards the wall.
    The good news is that the driver is ok and was even able to walk away from what was left of the car and will be racing again soon.

    That is nuts, looks like car spins and the spoiler with air passing over it backwards becomes a wing :eek:

    As for the merc video, never seen that video before, that's just crazy too!
