I've had people ask me to stop so they could be sick on some of my fast cross country drives - mind you, I was younger then.
Not uncommon for rally co-drivers to be sick, either.

i hate being a passenger in a car when it is obvious they are not in complete control but to be sat next to an ex formula one driver on a closed circuit? childs play at the end of the day unless you are seriously hungover or a *****.

I expect it isn't so much that, as a pure physical reaction by the body to the 1G+ lateral and braking forces with close to that in acc'n, add to that the weightlessness over the crests and the compression 'G's in landing and the dips, not that surprising he was crook.

I suffer badly in cars as a passenger (although I am fine when driving).

As a passenger if I for example have a bag at my feet in the footwell and I reach down to get something from it whilst the car is moving, thats usually enough to make me green....

Exactly, violent movement as such does not make people sick, it's the disorientation that does it. The track looked to have alot of sloping ground, anytime a flat visual horizon is not available, disorientation and then motion sickness is more likely to occur.

This is because we rely on a visual reference for most of our balance information, once that conflicts with the inner ear we get disorientated and sick. When you tip your head down while also moving in a vehicle the inner ear (semicircluar canals) gives you information that contradicts the visual image.

It's so common for people to get disorientated this way, that it's actively taught never to do this as a pilot.
