I've seen motorcycles do stuff like this before, but haven't seen cars do it before...

What the fuck....Dare devils....

The car doesn't even seem to go very fast in the beginning. I thoguht it was gunna trip right over.

That would get boring pretty fast. I guess they have special mods done to the car. First of all, if it were my 84 Accord, I wouldn't be able to get it up to speed. LOL. There would also be the issue of gas getting to the carb, plus the oil would be all over the engine..... wouldn't it?

I would think the force that's keeping the car down (centripetal??) would also keep down the fluids, etc.

You're right........... makes total sense.

(centrifugal??) more inertia in case of the .............. nvm........ it's too late.

there is centripetal force and then there is gravity.....so the car will act as though it's turning right VERY HARD the whole time....

the fluids in the engine is designed to deal with that if the engine is laid out sideways - some FR cars will have trouble with oil starvation if it keeps turning to one side for a long time.

that's physics for you ahhaha

those cars need spoilers for extra downforce!

Holy fuck is that ever dangerous! Hate to see what would happen if something went wrong!

Wow, it's that easy to drive sideways?? I mean those cars aren't even going very fast.

what happens if you slam on the brakes?

If a Koennigsegg (spelling) can drive upside down, then I have reason to believe its possible to drive on sideways like these cars.

The walls aren't perfectly vertical. Go fast enough and a car will be okay. Should be easier with a lighter car. As has been mentioned, a greater challenge would be making sure that the engine is lubricated and the fuel pickup point is OK.

I don't know how much downforce the Koenigsegg makes -- I doubt it's enough for it to drive upsidedown. A F1 car could, in theory, drive upside down, but afaik it hasn't been done before.

exactly, the walls aren't exactly vertical,
its kind of like swinging a piece of string with a ball/mass at the end

Well, I don't know whether that is exactly vertical or not, but there's no reason why it couldn't be... not sure why that's made to be a point.

ie. less force required, thus more do-able

But even if it isn't totally vertical, it's like 85° vertical... it wouldn't make too much difference if it was 90°.
