Here's An LMP1 Car Back-Flipping Just After Eau Rouge
Terrifying grandstand-shot footage shows the moment an SMP Racing LMP1 machine went airborne at last weekend's 6 Hours of Spa
The Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex at Spa-Francorchamps (Eau Rouge is the kink at the bottom, Raidillon is the steep uphill bit) is one of motorsport’s scariest corner pairings. If something goes wrong here, it’s probably going to be a big one, and it’s definitely not somewhere you’d want to have a Mercedes CLR-style back-flip.
That’s what happened to Matevos Isaakyan at last weekend’s 6 Hours of Spa though - after straying into the runoff area, the front-end of his SMP Racing BR1 lifted, triggering a terrifying airborne moment. TV cameras hmissed the incident, but this scary fan-shot footage has since emerged on YouTube.
Fortunately, Isaakyan escaped injury. The race was won by Fernando Alonso meanwhile, on his World Endurance Championship debut.
