This Sunday I was watching the Champ Car World Series race when this horrendous crash occurred. Katherine Legge, the driver of the car at the Road America road race in Wisconson amazingly was just fine after the wreck. The crash occurred when part of the rear wing of her car flew off, causing the car to lose downforce. Legge was heading into an S curve at 160 mph when she started skidding and went into the wall at full force. If you watch the video, you'll see the car disintegrate (as designed to absorb impact) and the cockpit with Legge rolling over and over on the grass. If Legge had been hurt, I wouldn't post it, but since she is OK I don't see any harm in it. By the way, AJ Allmendinger ended up winning the race.
Here is footage of the crash as it was broadcast here in the USA:
Here is the best slow motion footage of the crash:
