how the fuck can you bounce up like that on a barrier

#

woah

#

holy fuck

#

also "after this another car flipped"??

#

because the barrier is built to withdraw energy from the car instead of making the crash heavy. so then it's too soft and becomes a ramp instead

#

Yeah, armcos are pretty flexible

Usually the flexible barriers work quite well: You hit them, they get deformed, and then you slide along instead of decelerating from high speeds to 0 immediately. Though this hasn't been the first case of a car flipping or being catapulted into the air as a result

Does anyone know what kind of engine they use in Super Formula? V6 Hybrids? Idk if SF is a feeder series or not but i'm assuming not

in terms of size

way closer to F1 than to indycar
