This is pretty awesome...they build a life size Hotwheels loop and actually drive a car around it. The physics involved are pretty amazing.

Wow, long video, loved the plane and that toyota looks like a toy going thru the loop!

Looks like a scary ride. The back end of the car just compressed to the ramp. I saw the bumper flip flop and i just hoped it did not slow him down too much.

I love physics! By the way, notice that his harness belts never were seated on top of his Hans Device...now that is scary!

I can't say i understand a lot about physics but the whole thing fascinates me. I wish i was smarter :lol:

I love the little things like how he picked up the brick with the spinning tennis ball. It's amazing the G forces involved in just going up 90 degrees into the loop. What's really funny is if you've ever been on a roller coaster then you've probably had something close to 7g's depending on the speed of the coaster going into the loop.
