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.

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

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.

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.

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