Formula 1 car meets doe - amazing
 

A co-worker sent me this video showing a formula 1 car hitting a deer at around 100 mph. Not sure where the deer landed as it was sky launched when hit.

WOW!! that was amazing. That poor deer must have flipped thirty feet into the air.


Makes me think of today. I was headed to town in my new Silverado and came around a curve to find a huge doe standing in the tall grass on my side of the road. All I could think of was, not the new truck..[:@] Hit the old truck all you like, but not the new one. Thank goodness she just kept on eating grass there in the ditch line. I wonder if the deer flies and sand flies are chasing them out of the deep woods? I could never take and walk back in the woods this time of year without a lot of bug juice on.

WOW!!!! Where did she go? Maybe still up in that tree.

Hey cayugad, maybe you need to put one of those spoilers on the front of your newtruck. Doesn't look like the car was damaged.

My wife saw a doe today in the median of a grassy area in between the interstate and said she passed and looked in her rearview and saw her cross and get through traffic. We have a lot of development going on I guess it gets to deer. The heat doesn't seem to bother them as much as I thought, I've seen quite a few already walking around in daytime.

I think that deer works for the old man at the north pole, at least thats the closest thing I've seen to a flying deer.

Thats not an F1 car. Hope the doe didnt have a fawn

Just dang

Is it wrong that I nearly fell off the chair laughing ?

That was definetly a fake video... there is no possible way to hit a deer at that speed and A.) shoot it straight up in the air and B.) not cause any damage to the car

You may be right ckiel24, but if it's a fake it's a great one. I must have run it 50 times with so many pauses that it was almost stop motion. The deer's foot placement on the road looks exactly right and just what you would expect. You don't usually see that kind of detail in a fake.

I wonder at that speed if the driver even knew what it was he hit. As far as a fake or real video. My vote is for real.

RE: Formula 1 car meets doe - amazing
 

I beleive it is real since the driver actually swerves a little before impact. As far as no damage I guess on impact at that speed it just took the legs out from under that deer. Still an awesome video.

Dave I have been seeing many feeding at the side of the roads down here the last week also . Of coarse they have been cuting the high grass last week , but they were out there before they cut it , almost hit one last week .

Fake:

At that speed there would have been a heck of a lot of damage to the front of the car.

Also, and I am not a physics person, but I think the deer would have gone more backward toward the driver in addition to going up.

But it is a pretty funny video. Thanks for sharing.

I know it was a deer, but gives a new take on "when pigs fly":)

funniest thing ever

RE: Formula 1 car meets doe - amazing
 

wow thats crazy

RE: Formula 1 car meets doe - amazing
 

Cayugad, try a grille guard for your truck. I bought one for mine and it makes me feel a lot better. They look really sharp on the truck if you buy the right one too.

RE: Formula 1 car meets doe - amazing
 

Totally real...NO fake.
The slope of the body on those cars is extreme and the deer was small. At the right speed it would deflect that little deer with little to no damage to the vehicle. Landing probably inflicted more injury to the deer than the deflection off the hood did. Poor little thing.It's momma never told him/her to stay off the road.
