GTR Gets Airborne then Crashes! Video!

Are those roundabouts not raised in the middle? The few we have are and as soon as I saw him fly into it, all I could think about was it hitting a 4" curb and just rolling or something.

Luckily it stayed stuck to the ground (for the most part).

Speed an obvious factor here. Was it the back end going into the air and twisting the car or did driver input cause the slide?

It was raised in the middle, but it looks like there was a sidewalk around that grassy part in the middle. The car only went over the low sidewalk and not the raised part in the middle.

Actually it was the whole car going into the air and him slamming on the brake while in mid-air.
