Default CRASH! Porsche 993 GT 2 EVO (VIDEO ADDED)

OK, so this happened yesterday at a Porsche Club Day... The guy brought his original 993 GT2 EVO that raced Le Mans to the track, it actually still has the scrutineer stickers from Le Mans on the roll cage. He was taking part in a time trial cosisting of a gymkana section were you go throught cones and then go onto a dra strip for a flat out finish. He took of his rear spoiler for the day to reduce downforce for a faster top speed. As he came onto the drag strip the cars back wheels lifted over a crest and at that moment the car boosted and as it touched down again it just snapped! Sending him into the barriers at 160km/h+!!! Luckely the guy is ok, damage is substantial but fixable! I've got a video clip, but no idea where I can host a clip of about 4mb (any ideas?), let me know what you think about the pics...

After:





OK, SO HERE IS A LINK TO THE VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL CRASH
