How the hell did that happen???

All aerodynamics. Flugplatz is essentially a big jump. It's very easy to get air under the nose and cars go up and over. Blowovers like that are not uncommon in GT/Prototype racing when the conditions are right.

Unfortunately one spectator was killed.

Very unfortunate to know a spectator was killed.

That's crazy. There doesn't seem to be much of safety barrier their. Why you'd stand near an apex of a turn makes you wonder what the heck people were thinking. Flugplatz translates to "airfield" in German for Christ sake.
