I had a good exit and boosted, so I was catching a lot," Teixeira explained. "I went to the middle and he moved to block, and then slowed. I just hit the back of his gearbox and went straight up.

"At first all I was thinking was angry at him, then I realised I was up in the air and turning - when I looked down and thought 'I can see all the cars down there!' Then I saw where I was going to land and just crossed my arms for the hit, but it wasn't too bad.

"It's a very strange feeling - it wasn't scared, everything goes very slow and it feels like it's not you, like you shouldn't be part of it. I was a little bit sore in my neck and shoulder but I am okay, there's no problem."

Uhm, yeah.

WOW!

I had to back it up and watch again I missed the start of it. The guy that slowed really slowed a lot.

The "Marrakech Express" has a different meaning these days.

That would have been an awesome pass had he stuck the landing....

Helluva crash. It speaks volumes about the integrity of the modern formula car that he was able to walk away.

Would've been the first real-world "lifting pass" from Future GPX Cyberformula XD
