The Intersport AER-powered Lola B06/10 LMP1 race car got airborne and flipped several times between Turns 9 and 10 of the 3.7-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway circuit.

The race car eventually came to a stop upright on its wheels. Prior to the crash, the Intersport Lola-AER had posted the fastest time of the afternoon session.
