Technically, what Schumacher did is a roll, not a loop.



Just sayin' . . . . .
Yeah yeah. On a related note, does it include a barf bag for the passenger? ;D

If I would have said "roll", everyone would have thought he wrecked it.  Bill T.

Correct.  Actually it was a Barrel Roll.   A roll is more like flipping the car

Yeah, I know...there's a 50-50 argument all over the net on whether it's real or not.
I ain't saying it is or isn't possible per say, but without getting all drawn out, some of the physics and the tunnel layout don't add up in my mind....that's all.

I just don't see the upside of Mercedes or Schumacher attaching themselves to something that was fake. Both have more money than God, and nothing to prove. I'm not saying it couldn't have been, but I just don't see any advantage to it. Every time a spectacular video appears on You Tube, the "truthers" manage to come out of the wood work. It gets repetitive, right down to the "shadows" on the cones. The same argument was used with the Lunar Lander.  Bill T.

All true, but so far Mercedes has neither denied nor admitted the validity of the video. Looks like with as much doubt, they would have something to say about it. Of course, as long as they keep the mystery going, it's good advertisement for them, I guess.

Like I said, I ain't saying 100% that it didn't happen, just that by using the curvature of the tunnel for momentum, the physics of lateral force would reverse at the top of the tunnel and the tunnel would have to be curved the opposite direction on the downside to keep the car stuck to the surface. The curve compounds the momentum of force in one direction meaning the car would have to overcome that force to go on around. It would be more believable if the tunnel were straight all the way.

I may be wrong and this is just purely an opinion....YMMV.
