Oh man, I was going to reply to Clocky saying that I didn't think that needed to be pointed out, but here's you eating it up with a big spoon. Jesus you're thick LOL.

Jesus you're thick LOL. ************************** There has been checks on this via the web and snopes and any other sources and there has to date, been nothing to indicate that it is a hoax. Bringing to mind, a toy Yes, a toy, a toy car racing set, which has loop the loop and barrel rolls in the track, these toys do not fall out of the sky when performing the tricks So, why can't a bigger car do the same ? A 6 cylinder 130 HP airplane can do barrel rolls at 200kph, so why not a V12 600 HP powered car ?

There are numerous indicators that it's a fake, but consider just this one. If they did manage such a stunt with a car like that, why did they not capture it in it's full glory with a single camera angle that shows the whole loop, not just fleeting cut-to-cut shots that show practically nothing at all? It's like saying "I caught a fish THIS BIG, but I only took separate photos - 1 close up of the tail, 1 close up of the eye, and 1 close up the gills." No, if you caught a fish "this big" you would take a full shot of it, and probably next to something that makes it easy to compare the size of it. I think that's pretty damning even without getting technical about it.

I thought it was a fake when I saw it but it would be possible if the tunnel was completely round and there was nothing hanging from the ceiling like there is in every road tunnel I've ever been in, the chances of missing the signs, fire sprinklers, lights and cameras etc would be nil.
