Leaf spring shackles and the leafs bending the wrong way. In a race car no less. I hate shackle extensions!

You can see the fins on the Mopar giving an obvious stabilizing effect as it is still driving straight and true.

What about the guy standing there at the guardrail!?

And I thought he was the driver sticking out the back window.

As the quarter Panel says, this was a still Young Ford, he's getting tougher as he grows older.

 

[LocuMob]

What about the guy standing there at the guardrail!?

He's just glad it went past him, not his problem.

One of the most unbelievably lucky Drivers was Richard von Frankenberg when his Porsche flew out of the high Speed high bank curve at the Avus track in in 1956, where his car went down the high bank while he flew out of the car landing in a bush or tree still up on the Level of the track. He wasn't that lucky in 1973 when he was involved in a fatal Crash on the Autobahn when a truck changed in his lane as he was going fast in his private Porsche 911.
