Don't we love the safety systems in these cars.
This crash sticks in my mind because at the same weekend a V8
Supercar tripped over the same curb and did something rather
similar. The cause was a car being pushed out wide on a corner and
clipping curbing where an unused section of track enters the main
section.

The pity is they have pulled down the Youtube video of the V8
Supercar crash for "terms of use violation".
They have altered that part of the track now but it was weird for
these two crashes on the same weekend when it had never happened at
that part of the track before.
Both drivers walked away from them.
