I saw this while browsing Instagram early this AM. Not a good look at all.
Wait, so my comment at first about it not looking as fast as I expected might actually be true?! Holy shit if so
Yea, even rewatching it now, the entrance/merge arrows at "100mph" seem awfully slow...BUT, I fully know that video doesn't do speed justice. My drag strip and road race videos look boringly slow even when going well over 120+ mph. Hopefully just a misunderstanding or clerical issue.I thought what you said. I wanted to see what it's like going that fast and was expecting to see the dashed lines become one or objects whipping by so quick you can tell what they are.... It wasn't what I expected
Definitely a mess, but I have a feeling they will release all the raw footage to clear it up.
Simple answer is to rent the correct facility and put it in the hands of someone with some cred. Add a vbox, draggy, 5th wheel (lol), whatever you can do. The old shuttle landing strip where they do top speed runs ought to work??
That Johnny Boehmer guy does videos from there all the time.I don't remember why, but I'm pretty sure no one is allowed to use that strip anymore. I read something a while back about Koenigsegg thinking the Veyron's recordn't could be touched because the high speed loop was owned by VW and the only other place to do it was that NASA strip and it was no longer an option. Hence the necessity to close down the highway and do it there.
On the 10 mile one?That Johnny Boehmer guy does videos from there all the time.
I read yesterday they are planning to do the run again, but will have multiple vendors equipment on and have them validate after each run. Certainly going to be very interesting to see the redo and if they don't reach it, what the excuse will be.

Agreed, one of the best looking Supercars out there currently IMO.All I know, is that it’s surly a beautiful looking and sounding car!
