There’s an old saying about Spain. Legend has it that the rain in the storied Iberian nation stays mainly in the plain. These Mexican fellows apparently thought that given their SEAT Leon Cupra Supercopa race car’s Iberian origin, it would happily stay mainly in the crane that was hoisting it to the high heavens using a cradle. That blasted crane!
The Leon Supercopa—in most ways just a race-prepped VW GTI with a Golf R motor—had other ideas, starting a suicidal forward roll, and . . . well, just watch. If you’ve ever wondered what the undertray of one of these things looked like, this about as good an opportunity as you’re likely to get without joining a Supercopa pit crew.
