Rocket flipped it almost all the way over, but the tree stopped him.

BP nearly flipped his on race tires at an AX in a hairpin. The car went from 4 to 2 at greater than 45 deg, and back to 4 thanks to instinct on his part.
At first, I was amazed.... then when it sunk in what had just happened (I was co-running the AX), I was really concerned. We immediately changed the track for safety. You can absolutely flip a 914, or anything. It probably has a 5 star or equivalent roll over rating though. |

It just goes to show that any car can flip given the right conditions, it just takes a bit more to happen to a 914 than most vehicles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I'm surprised that nobody's posted a pic of a rotisserie yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
