Video of F-1 driver doing 190 mph in the Lincoln Tunnel (NYC - Jersey)


Quote:
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to drive a Formula One car 190 mph through a deserted tunnel, take a deep breath and watch the accompanying video. That's David Coulthard behind the wheel of Red Bull's F-1 show car, enjoying a nighttime dash through the Lincoln Tunnel, which spans 1.5 miles beneath the Hudson River, connecting Weehawken, New Jersey, to Manhattan in New York City. Thanks to carefully-placed cameras, viewers can achieve at least some sense of what it felt like to be in the driver's seat.

The stunt was planned to promote the Grand Prix of America F-1 race scheduled for next year in New Jersey, although there's concern among race officials that the track won't be ready in time.

As far as anyone knows, Coulthard's top speed of 190 mph is a Lincoln Tunnel record.

I am surprised none of the potholes swallowed that F1 car up.

I would imagine maintenance and safety inspections were all done prior to letting him drive through there lol.

If you guys want some more F1 eye candy. I suggest watching a copy of the Documentary http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424432/.


I caught it randomly on American Netflix. If you're a fan of F1, and you haven't seen it yet, you will not regret it.

Literally sounds like an F1 car going by if your apartments windows are above the barrier on the elevated highways.

Gives me chills everytime.

That sound when you're about to enter a tunnel, drop a gear and hammer it through.

I always do this when I enter longer tunnels.

Redbull always does the coolest marketing. I wish they put the RB7 through there so we could hear the blown diffuser
