That was a very cool event - excellent watching The Schumacher drive.

Those 360s weren't very tough, jumping the cars like that bent the frame.

 

Do you know for a fact that the frames bent from this?

 

This event once again exemplified the meaning of Ferrari reliability.

France only won the event because the last race involved Ferraris.

 

Yep, tranny blew...

SEEN IT

 

It looked to me that they put in a chicane right before the jump when ther F cars were out there.

The buggies and WRC cars were allowed to catch some air.

I did happen to catch the tail end of the show so I may be wrong.

 

Is that pic real?? Looks like photochop?????

 

It's real.

 

Hi> I saw the event on TV, and yes, it's real, and yes the
Ferraris didn't survive the jump. The frames bent badly
enough to break the windshields. That's why they added
the hay-bale slalom for later Ferrari runs.

No porsches?

 

They should have...airborne Porsches don't bend their frames!!!

 

You're right.

No bent frame here.

996TT Jump.
