I saw the race (on TV), but not any of the practice time... Looks like the brakes locked up, and the car got a bit out of balance. My understanding is that the track was recently rained on, so maybe there was a wet spot...
I've heard some people (other automotive forums) say things to the effects of, "what a testament to the aerodynamics package on that car" etc. That's just plain luck. Something tells me that race teams do not test their cars' aero package in reverse. The rear wing certainly kept a bit of positive angle of attack for the whole car through it's flight.
Check out the video. Incredible!
