Karting driver flies over top of opponent, keeps position

There’s a thing about open-wheel cars.

When you make wheel-to-wheel contact, one driver usually ends up flying through the air.

Often that ends in disaster, such as a flip or a rollover.

This kart driver, however, didn’t suffer from any of that.

Instead, the apparent contact launches the driver over her opponent but, as the kart comes back down to the ground, she lands it on all four wheels and is able to regain control, essentially pulling off the pass and keeping her position ahead of her stunned opponent.

The incident took place in the first round of the Eastern Canadian Karting Championship.
