Stephane Ortelli is okay.

Yeah, not really the same thing. Well, technically, it's the same thing that causes them to go airborne, but a car going airborne when going straight and forward is a little different than one doing it when going sideways. Nascar had a problem with this. They made some changes to the cars to try to ameloriate the issue. They put flaps in the rooves of the cars, and made some other changes to try to keep the air from getting under the cars when they go broadside.
