A Mini I would drive

[coronet340]

This thing is sweet. 1000 hp and 4-wheel drive.

Here is the video of him jumping it 100 meters.

Balls. Too much engineering for lack of brains.

...not for the driver...

I like the tail lights on a mini cooper....

...not for the driver...

The engineer wasn't driving the car nor probably had ton of experience driving like that probably asked the drivers opinion on things.

And the driver didn't just go 0 to 101 meters nor did he wing it and make a ramp himself, he entrusted the engineer to do his job. So he obviously has some brains.

How'd I know that was a Pop's post before looking left? lol

Sometimes you have to turn right to go left.............

For something like this, the driver has little to no input - he just concerns himself w/ getting to target speed. Gravity is constant and the speed/distance is an easy calc. The two difficult points are the trasition to the ramp and shock extension which ends up controling pitch rotation at the point where the wheels leave the ground, which it appears the engineer f'd up in this case.

Meguiar's quick detailer will fix most of that..No worries.

Cool car, I would drive it too . . . but I'm not too keen on the landing . . .

 

[NJRR]

emergency personnel sure took their time getting to him.

Now if it had a HEMI, I would consider driving it

 

[Budnicks]

that'll buff right out,
I saw that on Speed Sport daily newsletter a few days ago,
he cleared the jump, just needs to work on his landings
