What gets me is how she keeps turning the wheel to try and course correct while the "truck" is fucking airborne off of an overpass.

    Saw a 'Top Gear' interview with a race driver.

    They had a clip of him airborne.

    "Yeah, I was slamming on the brake there."

    And yes, if I lose my keys I'll check the same coat pocket five times...

    Not sure about real racecars but with RC trucks it makes a huge difference if you brake or speed up in the air. It makes the "nose" go up or down.

    Motorcycles doing the big jumps in motocross use the gas and brake to pitch up and down too.

    The ratio of mass and rotation speed to total mass is high enough for it to make a difference.

    Yeah! Recently, a pro racer nosed-over too much off a jump but had the presence of mind to upshift three times while WFO to save a crash. Insane.

    Heavily depends on the racecar. High downforce will overpower the effect, but low downforce vehicles with AWD or 4WD will absolutely have an effect—especially vehicles with heavier wheels and tire combos.

    It's evident in rally racing and Baja/Dakar and you can often see the effect in action, in the clips of jumps, when comparing different vehicles flying dynamics.

    Where is this? Can I go there? What does it cost? How much time do you get? Can I hit as many people as I want? Can I hear them scream? Do they feel actual pain? Can someone just let me borrow their truck for the day?

    …. Is nobody going to comment on how the driver is abso-fucking-lutely AIMING for the motorcyclists? Am I literally the only one seeing this?

    Why are you posting it under their "litterbox" version that will die in at most 3 days?

    This is just spreading link rot.

    I like that she's steering while tumbling through the door and was hoping she'd land it clean

    Shit had me crying laughing. My friend married a Vietnamese woman while he was living there, and has been teaching her to drive in the states using his fancy car and been white knuckled

    It's been a while since I played it last, but this doesn't look like Euro Truck Simulator 2. I don't remember motorcyclists in the game. Or am I wrong? What game is this?

    This is me on my bicycle.

    I have a ways to go still in my weight loss project.
