Originally posted on the North American Subaru Impreza Owner’s Club message board, these pics were taken during practice for the ALMS race last weekend at Mid-Ohio. The 009 Aston Martin DB7 left the track and flew a whopping 142 feet! That is a whole 22 feet farther than the Wright Brother’s first flight. What is most incredible is that the aerodynamics allowed the car to stay upright & that it didn’t flip when the left side wheels landed in the gravel. Word has it that the crew had the car torn down, checked out & reassembled for the qualifying, but there has been no report on the condition of the driver’s shorts!
