That was a very cool event - excellent watching The Schumacher drive.

Those 360s weren't very tough, jumping the cars like that bent the frame.

This event once again exemplified the meaning of Ferrari reliability.

France only won the event because the last race involved Ferraris.

It looked to me that they put in a chicane right before the jump when ther F cars were out there.

The buggies and WRC cars were allowed to catch some air.

I did happen to catch the tail end of the show so I may be wrong.

Hi> I saw the event on TV, and yes, it's real, and yes the
Ferraris didn't survive the jump. The frames bent badly
enough to break the windshields. That's why they added
the hay-bale slalom for later Ferrari runs.
