Michael Schuemacher drives the new Mecedes SLS AMG upside down in a tunnel

Nice, now only if it was real ::)

of course it's fake, what tipped you off? No ramp to keep the car from colliding into the wall. Schuey bring seen at the end, and them not wanting to risk one of the greatest drivers (if not the greatest) of all time life?

Michael Schuemacher a class driver for sure.
-
The should do it with a f1 car, how I dont know. But its apparently possible.

I think there is a vid of that. Theorectically (sp?) F1 cars make so much downforce that it has been said you could drive it upside down and it would stick to the roof of a tunnel. Supposedly the Ferrari F50 road car as well.

they should do it in a tunnel or someone witha pretty low "roof" so the eprson wouldn't die if something went wrong, with with the amazign "cages" in f1 cars they should be fine anyway, someone should do it lol.
problem is how you're supposed to "turn" the car up side down without the tunnel having to be insanly long

In order to turn it, you'd have to have a ramp leading to the ceiling of the tunnel. It has to be at a angle, like you unraveling a toilet tissue or paper towel tube. That way the car doesn't go crashing into the wall.

It's completely possible to drive a car upside if you are going fast enough and if the car has the right aerodynamic properties (at least on Earth. Not on the moon.) It's Bernoulli's principle. The same concept that allows an airplane to generate lift can be used to keep a car on the ground. If you have a big air scoop, the fluid (air in this case) rushing over the scoop causes a force downward that helps keep the car on the ground. If this force exceeds the net force in the opposite direction (weight of the car plus lift in the case of driving upside down), then you will have no problem driving upside down.

Nooo what tipped me off was the fireman standing in front of the car :P

There's obviously a ramp at the beginning and end of the tunnel if you look closely.
It's still very fake though.

Has anyone ever seen the motorcycles run around in a huge barrel at the amusement parks? Same principle.

No. It's definitely not the same principle.

Thats like slinging a bucket of water around and the water not falling out...
What he was talking about is the downforce..F1 cars and other race and road cars (like the Ferrari F50) used a inverted wing to generate downforce. Couple that with a flat bottom and a rear diffuser you have suction...pushing the rear down for more traction. Some like the Mclaren F1 even have fans to aid in his as well. Unfortunately the high downforce takes away from top speed.

Get back to school and READ THE FUCKING THREAD no one claimed it wasn't possible, we actually said it WAS possible.
the video is FAKE though.
fucking retard lol

Rectums obviously own your mind... :P

Good explanation

Good explanation
I think the bucket explanation is called centrifugal force.

Yea used to scare the shit out of me as a kid my dad would take me watch the motorcycles in a barrel I thought the were going to come over the the top..still amazing shit to this day for me.

thats all very cool, but where do you guys see Schuemaker?

Excellent post except that you've completely missed the point of the thread. :P

Jesus, am I the only one that doesn't car whether it's fake or not, and just think that's a sick car?
Older styling with the gull-wing like doors, but I think it looks pretty disgustingly cool. 8)

You guys are all forgetting something, hasn't anybody realized that it's impossible to drive a car upside down for more then a second or two, the engine doesn't work the same way upside down, ie. the fuel coming from the gas tank getting pumped into it, gravity plays a large role in how an engine functions. After a few seconds the engine would most likely stall out
-
The curvature of spacetime could mean what you perceive as the inside of the tunnel is actually the outside of the tunnel.

Fuck >, I was hoping to see Mercedes Khani getting pounded upside down in the ass by three illegal Mexicans in a tunnel somewhere in Tijuana >:(.

You got it all wrong mang! in Tijuana Mercedes would be getting pounded by a donkey! and it would be legal! ;)

True ,Hahaa

I'm pretty sure both of you are right...learn to use Google! ;)

while your buds n you are beating each other off with that fantasy...my x's will singing how beautiful it was...

that could probably be fixed pretty fast,

dry sump engine may alleviate that for the few secs it's upside down

I thought this was going to be the final footage of Princess Di (Gawd bless her), moments before she went and became an angel in heaven with Mother Teresa and Lassie .

looks real to me . they had engineers and and firemen there. ::)
-
anyway...it's a cool vid. even if they tried to sell something like this as real...he would have needed visible markers to make it to the other ramp. disorientation upside would have been equal to flying a night with no ground markers.
