If that was anywhere the UK there would be outrage and health and safety would be on their way in.

that happened because it had a completely flat underside, nowhere for the air to escape, its occurred before in world sports car racing at le mans.

I'm not sure but I think it was sold last year and is privately owned already. Not 100% sure though.
