LittleLiner,
this questions is not complete and also a little bit strange, too - normally we try to stay on the wheels
.
The question is not complete, due to this that the kind of incident is missing. But this is not necessary to get you an answer.
It's doesn't matter if you be in a light or heavy car, the reaction, movement of the car depends how the car crashed
.
The weight on the heavy, placed on the right place, can keep the car on the wheels, due to a lower weight centerpoint.
A light car can loose the contact to the ground faster. A heavy car can move longer uncontrolled, due to this that the weight is still pushing.
So you see, that there is no answer, due to the not knowing the cause of a so possible situation
.
By the way - much more critical is a aerodynamic mistake in the shape of the racer - the result will be a nightmare. So mistakes produce flips or hard rollings - the #77 lakester went out of aerodynamic balance - we know the result.
