Arrow Amazing Porsche GT1 crash

This is a Porsche GT1-98 at Road Atlanta in the USA, this quite possibly has to be the most amazing crash i've seen.

Seems like the other GT1 car in front removed all the air passing over the front splitter/underneath car which sent all downforce to the rear wing of the car once it got to the angle of the hill, which made the front of the car lift. This is similar with F1 Powerboats as well when they hydroplain, as it is an unstoppable effect, there really is nothing you can do but go on for the ride and whistle.

Not Mark Webber; he did a similar flip at LeMans (France) in a Mercedes.
This is the Porsche GT1 at Road Atlanta; I was in the Porsche tent having Alan McNish sign a poster when this happened..he was NOT happy.

Although the car would still be destroyed if it landed flat, it still would have been really cool.
