Just watched this video before checking into the sandbox here, and frankly I don't get it.

Doesn't look like all that big of a deal to me. Would have been a lot more fun watching the Lotus jump the semi.

 
Judging by their performance this year, I do not think a Lotus F1 car could reach the top end speed needed to jump a truck.

It would have been a lot more dramatic, but those F1 cars are sorta delicate ;)

They made it look easy, but if the F1 driver had missed his mark just a little, it could have been rough. That truck didn't maintain altitude for very long.
