Ofcourse there's a solution to this problem! Limit the cars topspeed to about 200km/h or 120 mph,minimum weight of about 1500 kilos and we'd be rid of this problem...

Let's face it,speeds of 200 mph will cause a car to go flying when it goes sideways. DUH!
All is being done to keep them glued to the tarmac by using downforce and groundeffect,but it is logic they'll go flying when that balance is being disturbed!
Hell,a 747 gets airborne at around 260 kph,so unless we'll bring down the speed of our beloved cars to ludicrious low's,we'll forever battle this problem.

It's a part of racing. One know's when one goes blasting of at speeds of 150mph+,that there's a risk! And let's face it,that's part of the attraction of the whole thing,the risk of it all.

We could ofcourse make reallife Scalectirx tracks,were the car's would be secured to the tracks and they'd never ever leave the track and crash...
