When the left rear tire failed, it pitched the nose up, the same flat-bottom aerodynamics I described then caused the car to flip. The open c0ckpit LMP cars aren't as an efficient wing shap as the GTPs (much flatter), so are less likely to flip from the conditions that caused the Merc and Porsche accidents.

It tells me that the car was rushed out the door before being tested-or as we call it: "production prototypes".
