Is rollover possible?

Is it possible to rollover this car?
When I was first time on the track, it was my first question. After driving it became obvious, that the car slides if the speed is too high in a corner.
Low center of gravity and sport suspension prevent this to be happened.

What conditions needed to be accomplished to "make a rollover" on the flat surface of a high way, for example?

Really grippy racing slick tires + extremely large slip angle.

What I like!
Try the pit maneuver

But generally .... If you go off the road at the wrong angle, (like sliding off sideways) your wheels can dig in and over you go. If you're going off, go off straight. Then again I didn't take physics.
