It was getting very light at the rear but it didn't look like it was going to be a big deal until it hit the wall. Hopefully this isn't the norm.

Why don't they test these cars backwards in a windtunnel? If it happens in a small crash like this, imagine what would happen if they crash with 2 or 3 cars together.

Let's speculate the thing no one wants to consider: it will be .....interesting to see what happens when one of these new aero kits spins at higher speeds than we've been used to for a while

Let's just hope they've really worked out the aero when it comes to a spinning situation as we've seen enough cars In the air at the speedway.
I'm not expecting the same problems again but every new frontier brings with it their own teething problems soooo.....a new set of problems I guess.

But then saying that we could just have a whole month of the only crashes being right sides being wiped off along a safer barrier and the new aero is more stable at the rear leading to no high speed spins at all...here's hoping :)



What are the odds that the first crash of the month is exactly like what you were worried about and happens just a few hours after your post. 8O

How come I'm only right in terrible Situations :8:

They've often gotten a bit of air when they've hit the wall like that in the DW12 but hadn't taken off. At the moment I'd say it's just a fluke like Rahal in 2012.

Damn that looked scary. Luckily it wasn't too violent and helio is ok. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of a pattern.

That's quite worrying. Thankfully there weren't a bunch of cars following behind, and thankfully he kept well away from the catchfence.

I don't think speed is a problem. The pre Dallara cars never seemed to take off as often as this. But there's still a problem and it's slightly concerning.
