Watch Peter Dumbreck miraculously escape uninjured from a violent crash during the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans race when his No. 5 Mercedes-Benz CLR somersaulted into the woods at about 300 km/h (190 mph).
The crash was believed to be caused by an aerodynamic issue resulting in the front of the car rising up and then flipping without any external contact; Mark Webber had already suffered near identical crashes in the No. 4 car during the Thursday night practice and the Saturday morning Warm-up. The remaining No. 6 car was retired immediately, and the team withdrew from all other planned entries in endurance racing and the American Le Mans Series.

Yep, because Mark Webber, who had the same happen to him twice at Le Mans, went to F1 in Minardi, then Jaguar, then Williams, and then went back to Red Bull (what Jaguar became), and had a crash with Heikki Kovalainen in the 2010 European Grand Prix, resulting in an incredibly similar stunt to his two at Le Mans.

More like why pitch sensitivity is important, it wasn't the aerodynamics which were at fault.

@saturnFIV3 Месяц назад

@@m-h1217what is pitch sensitivity and how did it cause that car to launch into flight?

@m-h1217 Месяц назад

@@saturnFIV3 Basically, the CLR was prone to tilt forward and backwards as a combination of a short wheelbase and its suspension system. The launch occurred because the car tilted back while crossing a bump resulting in an angle of pitch (tilt) so high the bottom of the car acted like the contol surface of a wing. It's similar to if you would tilt your hand upwards when sticking it out of a moving vehicle. It goes up.

That was the third time a CLR went airborne that weekend. It happened to one car twice resulting in heavy damage which would keep it out of the race and after the car in the video crashed, Mercedes pulled the third CLR out of the race and they pulled out of motorsport altogether after that weekend.

@AdamantJHS 5 лет назад

They didn't pull out of motorsport completely after that, they were still an engine supplier in F1 at that time and racing the DTM as well. I think you're confusing it with the 1955 Le Mans disaster, which also involved Mercedes, and resulted in many spectators being killed. Mercedes pulled out of motorsport for many years after Le Mans '55.

The car landed more or less flat on a soft(ish) surface and remained basically intact. His harness would have kept him steady as the car flailed around. If the car had crashed nose first into the track it might have been a very different outcome.

As bad as it may seem, but that landing couldn't have been any better I don't think...landing flat on the ground backwards with the seat supporting the driver's weight and especially the helmet. I'm not surprised he walked away from that.

@deezynar 6 лет назад

Yes, that's exactly right. Of all the angles for a car to hit the ground, tail first, wheels down, is the easiest on the driver. Another thing, I'm guessing the aerodynamic drag from the car's bottom heading straight into the airstream for a moment when it first lifted off the ground probably cut 20 MPH off the speed.

@chubbz5150ify 6 лет назад

Apparently when the marshals got to him. He was sitting on a tree stump with a phone in hand. Probably telling those back in the pits he was ok. He was also breathalyse as Le Mans 24hrs takes place on public roads.

@fix0the0spade 5 лет назад

He was very lucky indeed, the car hit a tree on landing that punched clean through the chassis, but went down the gap between the driver's seat and the fuel tank bulkhead, missing Dumbreck by a few inches. Evidently it was not his day to die.
