Those cars are cockpit/rollcage capsules built around the driver. 17 and driving one of those? She must have some skills.

Her last speed before the corner was 171+ mph.
In the middle of a pack of cars ALL doing around the same speed.
I'm a Red Blooded American Southern Male and I KNOW I can drive.
But I have no desire to drive that fast on city streets even in a race car on a well designed race course.

Dont forget in a Benz F3 car, yeah, Id say she has some skills lol
and
Right, it's her skills that are lacking...
I think there was a failure or something, she's a pro driver and knew the course and the car. For her to be at those speeds at that turn, something had to have been going way wrong.
Someone braked early, due to location and line of sight she does not see the others stacking up early. Tags another car and looses a wheel and more than likely brake lines loosing adequate pressure to slow down quickly and straight.
Looking at some other sites, apparently there wasn't a failure. She had contact with another car right at the end of the straight, jumped a curb and went airborne. She didn't slow down because she wasn't touching the pavement! Yikes!
Open wheel cars are unpredicitable when they make wheel contact; usually sends them flying and can cause some horrific damage. Dan Wheldon's fatal crash a few years back at Vegas, Robert Wickens eariler this year at Pocono and now this.

Talk about going ballistic, literally.
Chinese Ferrari junior Guan Yu Zhou, was behind Florsch at the time of the accident and blamed the yellow caution lights flashing on the straight.
“First of all it was such a scary moment,” Zhou said.
“Sophia was really close to Jehan, so when Jehan braked early she had no time to react.
“She hit Jehan’s right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. I just hope she’s OK.”

There's junior F3? That's like the time I visited Tyson's Corner in DC and saw a store, Versace - For Kids

This. My dad raced a Corvair powered Formula Vee when I was a kid. Those open wheelers can get real spooky when those tires grab another car.
3 hospitalized, 2 photographers and one worker. All minor injuries.
Beat me to it. lol
Hell im just happy that enough of the people recording the video know how to hold the damn phone properly, it drives me insane when idiots hold the phone vertically instead of horizontally, its 2018 people..... HD video isn’t rocket science.
I was watching thinking, “Holy Sh@#@ my hind parts, there going too slow for this to be interestin... Holy Crapcakes!!”
